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.

What are AI video generators?

AI video generator is a broad term for tools that create or assemble video with the help of a model. They are not all the same, and the differences matter when you pick one.

Text-to-video versus clip editing

Some tools take a long video and cut it into short clips. Others, like Clipwright, start from text and generate a brand new short: script, scenes, voice, and captions. If you have an idea but no footage, you want the text-to-video kind.

What a text-to-video tool does

The pipeline usually runs like this.

Writes a script from your prompt.
Illustrates or generates a visual for each scene.
Records a voiceover and times captions to it.
Assembles and exports a finished video.

What to expect from the output

Good tools let you review the script before spending anything, edit any scene, and export a clean vertical file. With Clipwright the preview and the export come from the same engine, so what you see is what you get.

Frequently asked questions

Do AI video generators replace editing?

For short-form made from an idea, largely yes. There is no timeline to scrub. You direct the idea and style and edit scenes as needed.

Can I trust the output to be accurate?

You should always review the script. Good tools show you the words before generating anything, so accuracy stays in your hands.
