Make video clips

1. Tap Video in the mode pill next to the message box.
2. Tap the lit Video part again to open its settings. Set Duration (5 to 15 seconds; the price in credits shows beside it) and Aspect ratio.
3. Describe the clip (“Describe a video…”) and send.

2. Describe what should happen.
3. Send. The clip opens on your picture and takes its shape.

1. In Video mode, open +the plus button›then Add stills to animate and pick two or more pictures.
2. Describe the clip and send.

Reference clips cost 192 credits a second instead of 96.

How do I continue a clip?
