Create makes a narrated short video — AI visuals, a voiceover, music and captions — from a text prompt, your own script, an article link, or a product link. It is "faceless": no presenter appears on camera. You can preview the script and scenes for free, then press **Generate video**; the **Estimated cost** box shows the credits before you press it.

## Steps

1. Open **Create** in the sidebar (page `/app/create`). The page title reads "New video".
2. Under **Select a tool**, pick how you want to start: **Prompt to Video**, **Script to Video**, **Article to Video**, **Static Background**, **Audio/Video to Video** or **Product Ad**. Press **Browse all tools →** for more.
3. Fill in the input box. For Prompt to Video, type a topic under **Your video prompt** (for example "Three habits that quietly destroy your focus"). Press **Prompt Generator** to have it rewritten into a fuller prompt.
4. Press **Preview with AI**. It is free: "Free AI preview — no credits spent. Shows the script, scenes and timing before you render."
5. Set the length: **Auto** picks one for you; **Manual** lets you choose an exact length from 15 to 300 seconds.
6. Under **Choose media type**, pick the look: **AI video**, **Moving AI images**, **Motion graphics** or **Stock videos**. Then pick a **Tier**, a voice, music, **Caption style** and the shape (**Portrait**, **Landscape** or **Square**).
7. Check the **Estimated cost** box ("Balance X to Y after this render"), then press **Generate video**. Reviral opens your project page; press **Download** when it is ready.

## Use when / Avoid when

| Use when | Avoid when |
|---|---|
| You want a narrated short without a person on camera | You want a person talking about your product — use [UGC Ads](https://reviral.ai/docs/ugc-ads) |
| You already have a script, an article or a topic | You only need a still picture — use [Image Studio](https://reviral.ai/docs/image-studio) |

## Example

Pick **Prompt to Video** and type "Three habits that quietly destroy your focus". Press **Preview with AI** and read the scenes. Keep length on **Auto**, pick **Moving AI images**, **Base** tier and **Portrait**. Check **Estimated cost**, press **Generate video**. To cut cost, the **Cheaper options** tips under the price suggest switches such as "Use Moving AI images to skip video generation and lower cost."

## Troubleshooting

| Message on screen | What to do |
|---|---|
| "High-cost render" — "This render will use N credits — more than 500. Confirm before continuing." | Confirm, or go back and pick a cheaper tier, a shorter length or Moving AI images. |
| "Prices were updated — refresh to see the new price" | Refresh the page and check the cost again. |
| "Preview failed. Try again." | Press **Preview with AI** again. |
| "We couldn't write that just now. Try again in a moment." | The **Prompt Generator** is busy; try again shortly. |
| "Draft restored from your last visit" | Your last unsent settings were brought back; change them or carry on. |
| The render failed on the project page | The message says why and your credits are returned — see [render errors](https://reviral.ai/docs/render-errors). |
