## Read before this

Read these direct prerequisites in order. Each guide lists any earlier context it assumes.

1. [1 Create your first video Go from prompt and sources to a reviewable first video.](https://www.ngram.com/docs/creating-your-first-video)

## 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.
