What a small balance covers

A Lite 4-second clip is 16 credits. Downloads are the full MP4, with no watermark. Buy a pack to generate.

  • A Lite clip includes: two-photo upload, 9:16 or 16:9, Lite 480p 4s, director's note, MP4 download. A Lite 4s clip is 16 credits.
  • Larger balance: HD 720p is 250 credits for 10 seconds. Motion Copy is 218 credits and is included on every paid plan, including Starter.

How to make a clip

  1. Open the generator and upload your two photos.
  2. Tick the consent box and hit Generate. You will be asked to create a free account.
  3. Buy a pack if the balance is empty. A Lite 4s render takes about 1-3 minutes.

Get a usable first clip

  • Use sharp, front-facing photos - the model preserves face, hair and outfit from your images.
  • Lite 480p looks good on TikTok where clips play small anyway - upgrade to Standard or HD when you want the full-length cut.
  • Write a short director's note if you want a signature move or prop.
  • Add the "Raindance" sound in TikTok or Reels - that's what links your post to the trend.

When you need more credits

A single clip is $5.99 and monthly plans drop to about $0.61 per Lite 10s - see pricing. Failed generations refund automatically, so a bad render never burns your balance.
