Questions
Common questions before generating
Which SOTA image-to-video model should I choose?⌄
Choose by the shot: generated audio and cinematic finish, directed camera work, expressive subject motion, or cost-aware drafts. Keep the source image and prompt constant when testing two suitable models.
What source image works best for image-to-video?⌄
Use a sharp image with a clear subject, enough space for the requested movement, and no unintended visual clutter. State which identity, product, logo, material, color, or framing details must remain consistent.
How are credits charged?⌄
Each model estimates credit cost before generation. Higher resolution, longer duration, or audio-enabled video usually costs more.
Do credits expire?⌄
Credit rules depend on your plan or purchase. Your current balance is shown before you generate.
How long does generation take?⌄
Most short generations take a few minutes, but queue load, duration, resolution, and model choice can affect timing.
Can I use generated media commercially?⌄
Most outputs are designed for commercial workflows such as ads, social posts, product pages, and launch assets. Always make sure you have rights to uploaded source materials.
Which formats are supported?⌄
Video tools return browser-ready video files. Image tools can generate common image formats such as PNG, JPG, or WebP depending on model support.
Where do my generations go?⌄
Use the dedicated tool pages for focused creation, then review every finished task in Creations from your account.
What if a generation fails?⌄
If a generation fails, keep the task ID and contact support from your account. Failed tasks can be reviewed without exposing provider internals.
Can I cancel later?⌄
You can stop using credits at any time. Subscriptions and billing are managed from your account settings.
Is SOTA Image to Video AI Generator free to try?⌄
New users can try SOTA Image to Video AI Generator with available free starter credits, then add more credits or choose a plan when they need higher volume.
Will outputs have a watermark?⌄
