Frequently asked questions

Do presets cost credits?
No. Presets enrich the prompt; you pay only for the video's engine, duration and resolution.
How many presets can I combine?
Up to three camera moves, one effect, one style and one genre per video. The studio composes them into a single prompt.
Does a camera move look the same on every engine?
No. The same prompt fragment goes to every engine, but each interprets motion differently. Kling 3.0 and Seedance are more consistent on motion-heavy shots, Hailuo 3 on wide shots.
