Quick Start: AI Video Generator
Create your first video in Animation Studio from a story script, an idea, or an existing comic.
Open Animation Studio to make a video. The studio opens in Voice Story mode; choose Idea to Video if you want to start with a short prompt instead of a narrated script.
Create a video
1. Choose a tool
- Voice Story — Enter a story script for a narrated video.
- Idea to Video — Describe the video you want in the Idea field.
- Comic To Video — Animate an existing comic. This mode requires a paid plan.
2. Add your content
Enter your script or idea in the text box. Use Upload to add images or other supported reference files if you need them. For Comic To Video, add your comic images and describe the animation you want.
3. Choose the output settings
Select 16:9 for a wide video or 9:16 for a vertical one. Set the Duration and, where available, choose a video Model. Voice and background music controls appear only in modes that support them.
Check the required credits shown beside Generate before submitting. Available models, file types, and limits depend on your mode and plan.
4. Generate and preview
Click Generate and wait for processing to finish. Open the resulting video to preview it.
5. Export or share
Once the video is ready, choose Export for MP4 download options. Downloading may require a paid plan; the studio shows an upgrade prompt when needed. To share a link or use the social sharing options, choose Share and publish the video when prompted.
Other tools
Animation Studio also offers Script to Video, Recording to Video, Music to Video, Drawings Into Animation, and Podcast to Video. Some modes require a paid plan; the studio shows a subscription prompt when you select one.
For scene-by-scene planning, read the Storyboard AI Guide. To understand the four-plan upgrade dialog, review animation plans and credit packs before checkout.

Frequently asked questions about video plans and credits
Why does Comic to Video ask me to upgrade?
The mode has a paid-plan entitlement, independent of your credit balance. A credit pack alone does not unlock a plan-restricted mode. Check the current plan feature table and the upgrade prompt for your account before buying.
If I have Pro, are video generations unlimited or free?
No. Pro unlocks supported video capabilities and includes a monthly credit allowance, but video renders may still use credits and have per-plan limits. Review the selected model, duration, resolution, and displayed cost beside Generate. See how credits work.
Is it better to buy a one-time credit pack or change plans for a video?
If your current plan already unlocks the mode and model, a top-up may cover more renders. If the mode itself is locked, you need an eligible subscription rather than extra credits alone. Compare the current plan benefits and credit expiration before purchasing.
Can I estimate a video's cost using the comic's 150-credits-per-panel rule?
No. That is a Comic Auto Model panel price, not a video rate. Video costs depend on the actual model and output settings; check the quote shown in Animation Studio. For the rest of your comic production, use the 20-page budget guide.
