Frequently asked questions about VideoGen
How do I create my first video in VideoGen?
Go to app.videogen.io and log in, click 'Generate a video', select media from Standard Stock, Generative Images, or Premium iStock libraries, enter a prompt for AI to generate a script with your preferred writing style (professional, friendly, or informative), click the arrow to proceed, edit your script or add sections like Text to Video or Title Screen using the '+' button, then click the red 'Generate video' button. Finally, edit using split, delete, or music change buttons, and share or download using the top right button.
How do credits and usage limits work?
Each plan includes a monthly allocation of credits for AI features. AI features consume credits based on usage, and the rate card shows per-feature costs. AI usage is subject to dynamic rate limits to ensure fair access, which may vary based on system capacity, overall demand, and subscription tier. Higher-tier users (Business, Enterprise) receive priority access during peak periods. There are no fixed message caps, but limits may be dynamically adjusted. If you reach a temporary limit, wait for reset or upgrade for increased access.
What stock media libraries are available?
VideoGen offers three stock libraries depending on your pricing plan: Standard Stock, Generative Images, and Premium iStock. Business and Enterprise plan users can access up to 50 iStock assets per month, with additional assets available at $10 per asset.

How do I fix a video stuck in generating?
Try basic troubleshooting steps: refresh the page, try using a computer instead of a phone or iPad for better performance and full functionality, clear browser cache and reload the VideoGen editor, try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or device, and disable browser extensions and VPNs temporarily as they may interfere with VideoGen features.
What export resolution options are available?
VideoGen allows you to choose export resolution. You can access this setting when exporting your video. The platform supports video export with quality options suitable for various platforms and uses.
Can I collaborate with my team on VideoGen?

How do I use the VideoGen API?
The VideoGen API lets you integrate AI media generation into your product, pipeline, or workflow. You can generate assets with a single API call and retrieve them when ready. Install the TypeScript or Python SDK, create an API key for authentication, and make requests to endpoints like /v2/prompt-to-video or /v1/script-to-video. Results can be retrieved via polling or webhooks. Production API access is available as an add-on for Pro and Enterprise plans.
Why is my voiceover out of sync?
If your voiceover is out of sync, this is a common issue that can be troubleshooted. Try regenerating the voiceover, checking that your script length matches the intended duration, or adjusting the clip pace in the editor controls. You can also try using a different AI voice or recording your own voiceover instead. If issues persist, contact VideoGen Support through the Help Center.
