# AI Video

> Generate a 5 to 15 second video clip from a description, with camera and look direction and an optional first frame. Finished clips open in the video editor.

**Where:** Studio › Home › Create with: AI Video · **Cost:** 20 credits for 5 seconds at 480p

AI Video generates one short clip of original footage, 5 to 15 seconds long, from your description. You can start it from a picture of your own as the first frame. Clips are made in the background and saved to your **Video library**, and the finished clip opens in the [video editor](https://docs.muvomi.com/edit/video-editor/) as a new edit.

## Generate a clip

1.  On **Home**, choose **AI Video** under **Create with**.

2.  Describe what the camera sees and what happens, in at least 10 characters. For example: *“Morning light over a quiet harbour, fishing boats rocking gently, gulls crossing the frame.”* Sound follows what you describe.

3.  Optionally, press **+** (**Add a first frame**) to start the clip from a picture in your library.

4.  Set **Length**, **Format**, **Resolution**, **Camera** and **Look**.

5.  Press **Generate video**. The clip appears in the **Video library** below the prompt and moves through **Queued**, **Generating** and **Saving to your library** to **Ready**. It keeps going if you leave the page.

6.  When it’s ready, it opens as the first clip of a new edit in the video editor.

## Options

| Option | Choices | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Length** | 5 to 15 seconds | 5 seconds |
| **Format** | Landscape 21:9, 16:9 or 4:3; Square 1:1; Portrait 3:4 or 9:16 | 16:9 |
| **Resolution** | 480p, 768p | 768p |
| **Camera** | Auto camera, Push in, Orbit, Tracking, Aerial, Locked off | Auto camera |
| **Look** | Natural look, Cinematic, Editorial, Product, Analog, Surreal | Natural look |
| **More › Seed** | A whole number, to help reproduce a scene. Empty means random. | Random |
| **More › Saved presets** | Apply or manage saved presets | None |

**Camera** and **Look** add written direction to your prompt for you. When more than one video model is available, a **Model** menu appears too, and the options follow the chosen model.

### Presets

A preset keeps your prompt and settings together. Under **More**, choose **Save generation preset**, name it and **Save preset**. Apply it later from **Saved presets**; applying a preset replaces your words (with **Undo**). The presets manager can rename, duplicate, import and back up presets.

## Cost

| Length | 480p | 768p |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 5 seconds | 20 credits | 30 credits |
| Each further 5 seconds | +5 credits | +5 credits |

The price beside the arrow changes as you change **Length** and **Resolution**. You’re charged once, when you press **Generate video**. A clip that fails, is cancelled, or ends as **Needs attention** with nothing delivered gives its credits back.

## The video library

Every clip you generate is kept in the **Video library** under the prompt, across sessions. Search by prompt or tag, filter by folder or status, and press **Refresh** to update.

Each card offers:

-   **Use in an edit**: open the clip in a new video edit,
-   **Download**,
-   **Reuse settings**: put the clip’s prompt and settings back in the prompt,
-   **Details**: the request ID, mode, status, seed and first frame,
-   **Check progress** while it’s being made.

Clips also appear in your [Assets](https://docs.muvomi.com/workspace/media-library/). On the Free plan, a clip plays and downloads with the *Made with Muvomi* badge; see [The watermark](https://docs.muvomi.com/account/billing/#the-watermark).

## Limits

-   The model reads up to 2,000 characters. A longer description is shortened by the AI when you generate, and the studio tells you before and after.
-   A first frame is one PNG, JPG or WebP picture from your library, up to 10 MB. It’s sent to the video provider.
-   One request makes one clip.

## Statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Queued** / **Generating** | The clip is being made. |
| **Saving to your library** | It’s finished and being stored. |
| **Ready** | Done. |
| **Failed** / **Cancelled** | Nothing was made, and your credits were given back. |
| **Needs attention** | The studio couldn’t confirm the outcome, for example because the provider didn’t confirm the request. It won’t be sent again on its own. If nothing was delivered, the card says *Its credits were given back.* |

> **Tip:** If a request was interrupted before it was confirmed, the card offers **Retry saved request**. It checks the same request and never charges twice.

## Troubleshooting

| You see | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| *Add a little more detail (at least 10 characters).* | Describe the scene in more words. |
| *Ask your workspace administrator to enable Cinematic video.* | The video service isn’t available right now. Try again later. |
| *The generation worker is offline.* | Generation is paused on our side. Try again later. |
| *Your credits could not be checked.* | Press **Refresh status**. |
