Start free

A studio, publisher or brand making films every week? Talk to us about a business plan.

Plans renew until you cancel. Cancel any time from Billing; the period you paid for stays yours. Prices include GST in India. Planning a film is free and your first one-minute film is on us; a film uses its credits only when you make it, and if it can't be made they come back.

Fair questions

Is it really animated?

Every shot is an illustrated frame the camera moves through — pans, pushes and zooms, cut to the story. It is not frame-by-frame animation, and we never call it that.

Do I own my film?

You own the videos you make. Films made with purchased credits may be used commercially; the free first film is for personal use. AI-made work may not be protected by copyright everywhere.

How does YouTube publishing work?

You connect your channel through Google's own sign-in, and we upload the film you choose. You can disconnect any time. We never post anything you didn't ask us to.

What if something goes wrong?

You see real progress while it's made. If a film can't be finished, every credit is returned automatically and we email you.

Your turn.

One story. One film. Your channel.
