Can I generate a video for free?
Video generation is paid. You can watch the existing concert template before purchasing. Creating an account does not include free generation credits.
What if generation fails or the result looks different?
If generation fails, the credits for that task are returned to your balance. This is a credit return, not a cash refund. A completed AI video can differ from the template or your portrait; exact likeness is not guaranteed. Review the template and photo guidance before buying. Contact support about a problem with your order.
Where do I find my video while it is generating?
Open Your videos in your account to check progress and download completed results. Processing time varies. If a task is queued, generating or confirming submission, do not submit it again. Buying credits does not start generation automatically; return to the studio and confirm your settings.
