Read before this
Read these direct prerequisites in order. Each guide lists any earlier context it assumes.
Choose a model for a specific brief
You have a short product explanation with approved copy and a few reference screens. Compare the models available in the composer for that brief, including the displayed credit estimate. Review a representative scene before committing to a series of videos.
If the draft describes the wrong customer or feature, correct the brief first. A different model would still receive the wrong instruction. Correct the brief or revise the result.
Compare the available options (illustrated guide)
Choose a generation model
On Home, choose Prompt to video, then open Model in the video setup. Choose from the models available to your account. Review your brief, style, Length, Voice, Presenter, and Format before choosing Create video.
Review quality and credit use
Base generation rates are 3 credits per second for ngram-flash and 10 for premium video models. Review the displayed estimate before creating.
On Free, you can create one premium video per calendar month (UTC), up to 60 seconds, using your credits. After using that allowance, choose ngram-flash or upgrade to Basic or higher for another premium video. Presenter styles require a compatible premium model. Keep your brief and choose an eligible model or plan if creation is unavailable.
Check what happens next
Premium models prepare a plan containing the script. Review and approve it before production; request changes in the plan when needed. ngram-flash starts production directly.
Improve the result
Review your preview and tell ngram what you want to change. You can also use the full editor for timeline and layer adjustments. Older projects can be imported into the current editor.
Choose models for individual assets
For individual images or clips, use the available controls in Image Lab or Clip Studio. Choose the input type and model for that asset, and review the displayed settings and credit estimate.
Keep going
Use Auto, style presets, templates, and Brand Kit without confusing their roles.
Understand credit estimates, reservations, charges, plan grants, top-ups, and auto top-up.
Use Clip Studio input modes, models, duration, aspect ratio, cost estimates, history, and downloads.
