AI Smart Shot — Cinematic clips from one sentence

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Smart Shot on Flixly?

Smart Shot turns one sentence into a short cinematic clip with multiple cuts. You type something like "a fairy girl flies through a sunlit forest" — Flixly breaks it into a structured Shot Plan (characters, environment, 3–5 shots with camera moves), renders each shot's keyframe and motion, and stitches the final video for you. Characters stay consistent across cuts thanks to a shared reference image.

How long is the final video?

Smart Shot outputs a 10–20 second cinematic clip, depending on how many shots your plan contains (usually 3–5). Each shot defaults to about 5 seconds; the planner adjusts shot length to fit the total budget. You can regenerate individual shots to tune the result before the final stitch.

Which models power Smart Shot?

The Shot Plan is generated by Grok (xAI). Per-shot keyframes use OpenAI GPT-Image 2.0 — including its edit mode to anchor identity against a shared character reference — and per-shot motion uses ByteDance Seedance 2.0. The final video is stitched by fal's ffmpeg-api/compose service. Everything routes through Flixly's standard credit pipeline.

Can I use Smart Shot output commercially?

Yes. Everything you render on Flixly is yours to use commercially — for ads, landing pages, trailers, social media, YouTube, ecommerce, client work. No extra licensing, no watermarks on finished clips.

How much does a Smart Shot cost?

You pay per step on pay-as-you-go credits: a handful of credits for each keyframe render, a few more per motion clip, and a small fee to stitch. A typical 3–5 shot clip is a modest credit spend with no subscription — 10 free credits on signup to try it.
