What exactly is a credit?

One credit makes one scene: an illustrated image plus five to eight seconds of narration. A one-minute video is about 8 credits. Regenerating a scene you don’t like costs 2 credits, since it is drawn on the spot at the same rate as an instant video; scenes made from your own photos cost none.

Pack credits never expire. Subscription credits refresh monthly, and whatever you don’t use rolls over — up to one extra month’s worth, so nothing feels wasted.

What can I do without paying?

Draft scripts, build and rearrange storyboards, and preview every voice — free, within fair-use limits. Generating images and exporting video takes credits, and you always see the exact cost before anything is charged.

Will my videos have a watermark?

No. Every paid plan and every credit pack exports clean, with no mark of any kind. The watermark only appears on free exports.

Where does the video actually render?

In your browser. The preview and the exported MP4 come from the same engine, so what you see is exactly what you get. Chrome, Edge, and Safari 26+ render locally; on any other browser we render it on our servers instead. Either way you get the same MP4, and every browser can export.

Can I use my videos commercially?

Your videos are yours to post and monetize on your own channels on any plan. The Studio plan adds a commercial license for client and brand work.

Is Clipwright an AI video generator?

Yes. Clipwright is a text to video generator: you type an idea and it creates a narrated, captioned short from scratch. It builds new videos from a prompt rather than cutting clips out of longer footage, so it suits faceless channels, stories, and explainers.

Lesson hook ideas for teachers

A strong opening buys you the room attention for the rest of a lesson. A forty second video can do that better than a slide. Here are hook ideas and a fast way to make them.

Open with a question they cannot ignore

Start a topic with a question that feels urgent or strange. Why does ice float when most solids sink. What if you could see sound. The curiosity gap does the teaching for you.

Turn notes into a clip

A single point from your notes can become a short explainer. The Explainer tone keeps the pacing clear and structured, which is what makes a concept stick on the first watch.

No editing required

You do not need video skills. Describe the concept, set the reading level with a note, review the script, and generate. Export a captioned clip you can drop into any lesson.

Frequently asked questions

What subjects work best?

Anything with a surprising fact or a clear process. Science, history, and how-something-works topics are especially strong.

Can I control the depth?

Yes. Add custom instructions to set the reading level and depth, and review the script before generating.
