The basics
- What is Cinefables?
- An AI film maker. You describe a story in one line and it produces a finished animated short — script, characters, scenes, dialogue, voice and music — with characters that keep the same face across scenes and episodes.
- Do I need any video or animation experience?
- No. There is no timeline, no keyframes and no editing software. You write a sentence; you get a finished video file.
- How is this different from a clip generator?
- Most tools produce a few seconds of footage from a prompt. Cinefables writes a structured story, designs a consistent cast, directs shots, voices dialogue and assembles a complete film you can publish.
Making videos
- How long can a video be?
- Up to 10 minutes as a single film. For longer stories, a series of episodes is better — cheaper per minute, faster to produce, and easier to watch.
- How long does it take to make one?
- A short typically takes a few minutes end to end. Longer films take proportionally longer because every scene needs its own image and animated clip.
- Will my characters look consistent?
- Yes. Each character is designed once into a reference sheet, and every scene is generated against that sheet — which is what prevents the drifting faces you get when prompting each shot separately.
- Which languages are supported?
- English, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil, for both the written script and the spoken narration.
- Can I use my own script?
- Yes. Write or generate a script, edit it freely, then film it — the director structures your script into scenes instead of inventing its own story.
- Can I fix just one bad scene?
- Yes. Re-render an individual scene, rewrite its lines, reorder it or delete it, without regenerating the rest of the film.
Credits and billing
- How much does a video cost?
- You pay in credits, and the estimated cost is shown before you generate. Cost scales with length and with the animation tier you choose — still frames are cheapest, cinematic animation costs most.
- Is there a subscription?
- Not required. You get free credits on signup and can buy more as you need them. Monthly plans are available if you prefer.
- What if a video fails halfway?
- The finished scenes are kept and the credits for the unfinished part are returned to your balance automatically — you are not charged for work that didn't complete.
- Do I own what I generate?
- Yes, your generated videos are yours to use, subject to the content policy and the terms of service.
