Generating an AI video (and what each tier costs you)
Most AI video tools give you a wall of settings before you have even described what you want, and then produce three near-identical clips that all miss. You burn credits learning the tool instead of getting a video. The AI Video studio is one text box. You describe the shot in plain words, Forgefy expands it into a proper scene brief behind the scenes, and you get takes that actually differ from each other.
Step 1: Open Create, then the AI Video tab.
Open Create, then the AI Video tab. Describe the shot in one line. The quality pill on the right sets duration, ratio and the estimated cost.
Step 2: Describe what you want in the text box, or dictate it with the microphone.

Step 3: Pick a quality tier and a duration. The cost of each is shown before you commit.

Good to know
Your prompt is expanded into a five-layer brief: who, where, what, interaction, camera. You do not have to write that yourself. The takes are forced to differ on emotion, location and gesture, so you are choosing between real options rather than three copies. Failed runs do not cost credits, and transient failures are retried once automatically. The retry button says so. Reference images are fused into a single hero frame first, then animated, so the video follows your reference instead of reinventing it.
What is the difference between the tiers?
Higher tiers use stronger models and allow longer durations. Draft is for checking an idea, Premium is for something you will actually publish.
Why did my generation fail?
Usually a transient upstream error. Forgefy retries once for free. If it fails again, adjusting the prompt or the aspect ratio usually clears it.
