Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes — completely free. No credit card, no trial period, no watermark. Create an account and start generating videos immediately.

What video format do I get?

You get a 1280×720 MP4 with H.264 encoding — the standard format accepted by YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Will the video use my own photos or footage?

No — this generates video from stock footage matched to your script, not your own images. It's best for tips and narrated advice rather than a portfolio showcase of your actual photos.

Can I use this for photography tip content?

Yes — camera settings, lighting setups, and editing technique scripts are strong, proven formats for photographers building an audience.

Can I make client-facing videos, like what to expect from a shoot?

Yes — a short "what to expect" video can reduce client questions before a booking.
