Make a video

Turn Video on

Choose Add Agent and pick Video. It is on every plan, Free included. What costs credits is the AI shots, and you see the price before any are made.

Two kinds of video

A Free-form video is anything else, from a single AI shot to a whole story.

Start one

Describe what you want in the Video chat and attach the photos and clips, and Orsola plans the scenes for you. Or choose New video and build it by hand on the Project tab. Both work on the same project, so you can start in one and finish in the other.

A video is a list of scenes, played in order:

• Photo — shown for a few seconds, with a slow zoom or pan.
• Clip — your own video, as it is.
• AI shot — 3 to 10 seconds made by AI from a description, from one of your photos, or with up to three reference photos that keep a face or a product the same. An AI shot can also change one of your clips, or carry a shot on for longer.
• Title card and end card — text, and for a commercial the logo and call to action.

What it costs

Photos, clips, cards and putting the video together are free. AI shots are paid from your credits by the second, and higher quality costs more per second. Music made for the video is a small fixed amount.

Nothing is made until you confirm the total. The Project tab shows how many seconds of AI video the project needs and what they cost. You confirm that figure once, and you are never charged more than it. Change a shot afterwards and you are asked again.

A shot that comes back wrong is made again once, at no cost. A shot that is refused costs nothing.

Real people, and children

• Before an AI shot can show a real person — from your photos, or someone you described — you confirm, once per video, that you have their permission.
• Photos and clips of children are never sent for AI generation. Orsola checks each one first. A child can still appear in a memory video, as the photo or clip itself — just not in an AI shot.
• Famous people cannot be made in an AI shot. The request is refused, and nothing is charged.

Keep a face, a product or a brand the same

On the Brand & people tab, describe each person, character, pet or product once, and add up to three reference photos. That description goes into every shot they appear in, which is what keeps them looking the same from scene to scene. A brand's logo, colours and call to action are used for the cards and for the look of a commercial.

Render, download and share

When every AI shot is made, choose Render video. It takes a minute or two, and you are notified when it is ready. Render as often as you like: each render is a new version, and the earlier ones are kept.

Share makes a link anyone can watch without signing in. It expires after 7 days unless you choose another period, up to 30, and you can revoke it at any time. The link is shown once, when you make it — Orsola keeps only a fingerprint of it — so copy it then.

What is sent where

Only AI shots leave Orsola. For each one, the description, the photos or clips you chose for that shot, and the descriptions of the people and products in it go to Google's Vertex AI, which makes the shot. Google keeps the request for up to 7 days — which is what lets you change or extend a shot within the week — and the result for up to 14, then deletes them. They are not used to train Google's models.

Montage photos and clips, titles, the music mix and the finished video stay in Orsola. AI shots carry an invisible watermark that marks them as AI-generated; if you publish a commercial, the platform may require you to say it contains AI.
