What You Get for Free
If you would rather see the output before spending anything, the sample write-ups show finished episodes with their settings and their storyboards.
Setup images — 15, and they follow your account
These are the character sheets, location plates and prop shots that everything downstream references. The allowance is per account, not per project: it is one pool of 15 across characters, locations and props, and whatever you do not use on your first drama is still there for the next one.
Two conditions. It can only be spent on a project whose script has actually been read and paid for — that stops an empty project being used to farm free images. And it does not apply to ad projects or to remakes, because neither of them pays a script-read fee.
Storyboard — episode 1 of your first drama
This one really is tied to the first drama you ever create, and it is decided the moment that project is created. Regenerating that episode's storyboard, and every later episode, is charged.
The check looks at whether you have created a project before, including ones you have since deleted, so there is exactly one first drama per account. It also declines when another account registered from the same device or recently from the same address has already claimed it.
One free preview
Each account gets one free preview clip of up to 5 seconds — the opening moment of a segment you wrote, rendered for real. It is there so you can see what the pipeline does with your own material before paying for a full segment.
One per account, not one per project.
What is not free
Reading a script is charged on every project. So is writing one with AI. Video is charged from the first second: there is no free video allowance.
State images have their own separate small allowance, counted independently of the setup images — using one up does not eat into the other.
Used is used
The allowance is counted by what you generated, not by what currently exists. Deleting an image and making it again does not give the allowance back. Generations that fail, or that you cancel before they start, do not consume it.
Where anything is unclear — a count that will not resolve, a missing setting — the system charges rather than giving it away.
If you run out
Every button shows its price before you press it, and the balance is in the top bar. Credit packs start at $1.49, and membership adds a monthly credit allowance plus a discount on credit purchases, starting at $7.99 a month.

FAQ
Do the free setup images expire when I start a second project?
No. They belong to your account, so whatever you did not use on the first drama is still available on the next one.
Can I use them on an ad or a remake?
No. Neither pays a script-read fee, and the allowance can only be spent on a project whose script has been read and paid for.
If I delete my first drama, does the storyboard freebie reset?
No. Deleted projects still count, so the next one you create is not a first drama.
Does a failed generation use up the allowance?
No. Failures release what they claimed, and so do cancellations of work that never started.
Is there any free video?
Only the single preview clip of up to 5 seconds. Full segments are charged from the first second.
Start with the free part
The allowance is applied automatically — there is nothing to claim.
