Can I make shorts for free?

Writing the script is free. Making the short takes credits: the Lite plan, $10 a month, has 250 credits, enough for 2 Basic shorts of 15 seconds.

Who can be the character?

Anyone or anything you have the right to use: a mascot, an illustration, a toy, a pet, a product character or yourself. A real person may appear only with their permission, and never to say something they did not; see the Acceptable Use Policy.

Can I use my own voice?

Not yet: the short is voiced by one of 19 ready voices, and voices are never cloned from a recording.

How long does it take?

A 15-second short took about five minutes in our tests, and a longer one takes longer. You can close the page: the short appears in History and Assets when it is ready.

Do I need editing experience?

No. There is no timeline: the scenes, the voice, the captions and the cuts are put together for you.

Tips

Use a clear image with the face toward the camera and nothing covering the mouth.
Try a new character and voice on a short Basic one first, then make the long or High version.
Short sentences read best: every stop and colon becomes a pause.
Put the strongest line first: the first three seconds decide whether people keep watching.
