What it does well
Built for speed
fal optimised H3 Max to render far faster than the base model, so a prompt comes back as a clip quickly enough to try several versions of a shot in a row.
Sound with the picture
Dialogue, ambience and effects are generated together with the video; describe them in the prompt and they arrive in sync.
Six frame shapes
Pick 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or a wide 21:9 cinema frame before you generate, instead of cropping afterwards.
Settings and prices
Video is billed per second of output; the button always shows the exact total before you generate.
| Setting | Price | Example | Unlimited plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | 22 credits / second | 5-second clip = 110 credits | Uses credits |
| 768p | 32 credits / second | 5-second clip = 160 credits | Uses credits |
Prompt tips for better videos
Write the sound in
Describe what is heard as well as seen: "rain on the window, a kettle starts to whistle". Sound you name is sound you get.
Draft at 480p, keep at 768p
Find the shot at 22 credits a second, then render the keeper at 768p for 32 a second.
One action per clip
A single clear action reads better in 5 to 10 seconds than a list of events; chain clips for a longer scene.
Example prompt
A cyclist rides through a rainy neon street at night, puddles splashing under the wheels. Slow tracking shot from the side, 35mm, reflections on the wet asphalt. Sound: rain, tires on water, distant traffic.
