Three things: a link to your site, a brief with up to 20 of your own videos and images, or a video you love, pasted as a TikTok, Instagram, X or YouTube link or uploaded. ### How long can it be? Link videos come in 15, 30 or 45 seconds. Videos from an idea or from a video you love run 5 to 90 seconds. ### What does it cost? A video from your link is 31 credits for 15 s, 38 for 30 s and 46 for 45 s, including the site capture, device renders and art-director pass. Videos from your idea & media or from a video you love run from 13 credits at 5 s to 55 at 90 s. A failed render is refunded in full. ### Does it copy the video I love? No. It studies the pacing, type, motion and layout, then builds a new video around your brand. Logos, faces and text from the reference are never carried over. ### Can I use my own music? Yes. Upload an mp3, wav or m4a, pick a track from the built-in library after previewing it, or go without music. Scenes are cut to the beat. ### Can the assistant or my own agent make one? Yes. The assistant builds it in chat, asks for any media it is missing and plays music previews there. Agents connected over MCP can quote and make one too. ## More detail - Every feature: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features.md - AI assistant: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/ai-assistant.md - AI tweet generator: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/ai-tweet-generator.md - AI LinkedIn post generator: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/ai-linkedin-post-generator.md - AI actors: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/ai-actors.md - Voice cloning: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/voice-cloning.md - Video dubbing: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/video-dubbing.md - Auto captions: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/auto-captions.md - Reframe and resize: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/video-resizer.md - Video cloning: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/video-cloning.md - Video editor: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/video-editor.md - Image editor: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/image-editor.md - Social media scheduling: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/social-media-scheduling.md - Content calendar: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/content-calendar.md - Social media analytics: https://www.socialfaktory.com/features/social-media-analytics.md - Pricing: https://www.socialfaktory.com/plans.md
