One Hub for Three Lengths
Compare Short, Reel, and Long before you spend credits, then generate in the dashboard after signup.
Short Clip: About 8 Seconds
One clip at 28 credits. Built for a single beat on YouTube Shorts and TikTok, not a stitched Reel.
Three-Clip Reel: About 24 Seconds
82 credits: three ~8s clips concatenated. One-click Reels live on the Reel generator, not Studio.
Long Video: About One Minute
218 credits: a ~1 minute long. One-click Longs live on the Long generator, not Studio.
Text Prompt or Still Photo
Start from a written scene or animate an AI persona photo. Both paths land in the same dashboard.
Credit Packs From $2.49
No subscription required to generate. Buy a pack when you want more. Credits do not expire.
Download and Post Anywhere
Download the file and post it yourself, or on a paid plan send it through Post for Me to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok (as a draft), YouTube, X, or a LinkedIn company page.
No Camera Required
Describe the shot or start from a still. Generating a Short, Reel or Long takes a credit pack.
Healthy-Model Fallback
If one video model is down, the cascade moves to the next healthy model so the job can finish.
How do I generate a video with AI?
Follow these steps in the app.
Open Video > Create
Choose text to video, or start from a still.
Describe the video
Write what happens and how it looks, and add a still if you start from a picture.
Pick a model and a length
Choose a video model, then the length; the options differ by model, and the one short video of a free account is up to 6 seconds.
Check the price and run it
The price is shown before anything runs, a failed run is refunded to your balance, and the video lands in your library.

Does an AI video generator look realistic, and what are the limits?
It can look convincing for a short shot with one subject and one clear action. Hands, text and fast motion are where AI video often slips, so check each result before you post it. A free account makes one short video of up to 6 seconds with a small "Made with inflyu" mark and a short Inflyu card at the end; longer videos need a credit pack, and a failed run is refunded.
Limits today
- A free account makes one short video, up to 6 seconds, in Video > Create. Anything longer needs a credit pack.
- The one short video carries a small "Made with inflyu" mark and a short Inflyu card at the end. Any credit pack removes both on new outputs.
- AI video from a text description can show odd hands, text and motion, so check each result before you post it.
- The price depends on the model and the length and is shown before each run; a failed run is refunded to your balance.
- Spending credits needs a verified email.
What works best
- A prompt that names one subject, one action and the camera move.
- A clear still when a specific face, product or scene has to appear.
- The shortest length first to check the look, then a longer run with a credit pack.
