How to make a movie with AI for free
Free first session: paste a one-page script, approve the cast with the free images, read and edit the free storyboard, run the free preview, then decide.
The free path, in order
- Write or paste the script. Reading is 4 credits per 1,000 characters; the welcome credits cover a short script.
- Approve the cast and places using the first 15 free images.
- Read the storyboard and rewrite what is wrong. It is free.
- Run the free preview.
- Stop, or render the rest.
What you get for free · Free sheets are per account.
Where payment starts
Video is the cost. Each finished second is 10 credits a second on the default tier, about $0.06 at the lowest credit price, plus 1 credit a second to join. A 60-second movie is 60 of those seconds. Videos on a free account carry a small AI label; a paid membership turns it off by default. Compositing and sharing.
Make the paid part small
- Render only the opening first.
- Fix a shot alone rather than redoing a scene.
- Keep to one place and two characters.
- Use a 30-second film as the test.

Make it in SceneMixer, start to finish
- Script: paste your own on Upload Script, or write the brief above in AI Create and let it draft the episodes.
- Step 1: Type Film; Scene Style Neon Nights, Urban Opulence; Costume Style Smart Casual, Streetwear; Visual Style Digital HD, Soft Glow; Target Region; dialogue language; 16:9 Landscape. Then read the script.
- Step 2: Use the free images on the two main characters and the one place; they are the part you keep for every later version. The first 15 setup images on an account are free.
- Storyboard: generate episode 1 first (free on your first drama) and read it before you render anything. One place per segment.
- Video: render on the default tier at 10 credits a second, fix single shots instead of whole episodes, then put the episode together and post.
