Browse all FAQs
Do I keep creative control?

Yes. Review the script and storyboard, edit prompts and narration, modify or regenerate individual scenes, add your own media, and adjust the timeline. The Visual Bible is optional; its references guide future generations without an approval step.

Do I need an AI API key?

No. Managed generation works through your Video Studio account, with models handled for you. Supported personal API keys are optional and billed directly by their provider. Those requests do not use managed AI credits; membership production limits still apply.

What can I export?

Download a finished MP4, an available thumbnail, timed subtitles as an SRT file, or a project archive. Downloads are available on desktop and mobile. Your plan determines rendering allowances and maximum video length.
