Question 1

What is TurboClip?

Accepted Answer

TurboClip is an AI content platform that turns an idea into finished videos, AI ads, images and slideshows — ready to post on any social platform, made in the browser on desktop or phone. It has three workspaces: TurboClip Canvas, an infinite node canvas where you wire prompts into image, video and music generators and an AI agent builds whole campaigns with you; TurboClip Director, which turns a brief into a planned video, ad or slideshow; and TurboClip Studio, a multi-track timeline editor for finishing the result. Around them sit the AI Ad Creator, slideshow automations with TikTok scheduling, a Media Library that generates and edits media, and MCP + API access so AI agents can create with it too.

Question 2

What is TurboClip Canvas?

Accepted Answer

An infinite, node-based workspace for whole creative projects. Drop nodes on the board — Text, Image, Video, Music, Variations, Assistant, List, Upload, Assets and Sticky Note — and wire one node's output into the next: a prompt into an image, the image into a video. Put prompts in a List and a generator runs once per item, so one board fans out into a set of variations. The Canvas Agent works beside you in chat: ask about the board, brainstorm hooks and angles, or describe a campaign and approve a costed plan — it lays out the nodes, writes the prompts and generates the images in order. Video clips it prepares are rendered when you press Play. You can also talk to it with the microphone. Building and wiring nodes by hand is free; generation and agent work use credits. It works on phones and tablets as well as desktop.

Question 3

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Describe your content. Type a topic or brief, or paste a finished script — or start from a blank project. That’s the only required step. Direct it. TurboClip Director reads your brief back and proposes the setup — the hook, who carries the audio, the format and the tone — every choice pre-picked and one tap to change. Set the platform, length, aspect ratio, voice and AI models too, or keep the defaults. Generate it. The AI writes the script, voices it, creates the visuals and times the captions. For videos and ads, run it straight through or review the script and scenes along the way. Edit and refine. Open TurboClip Studio — the multi-track timeline editor — to regenerate a single scene, retime clips, add overlays and music, tweak captions or change the narrator, without starting over. Export and share. Download a 1080p MP4 with baked-in captions, or slides as JPGs in a ZIP. You can also generate a social description, hashtags and a cover image.

Question 4

What makes TurboClip different from other AI video tools?

Accepted Answer

Most AI video tools produce a one-shot output — take it or leave it. TurboClip gives you the whole workflow: TurboClip Canvas to build connected campaigns, TurboClip Director to plan before you render, and TurboClip Studio, a full multi-track timeline editor, to refine every scene, caption and overlay. You also get per-scene regeneration with version history, AI ads with presenters who speak your script, slideshow automations with TikTok scheduling, a choice of frontier AI models, and agent access over MCP — in one platform. And you see the exact credit cost before every click — on most models priced just under what fal and Higgsfield charge for the same model.

Question 5

Do I need a subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. TurboClip is pay as you go: top up from $5 (every credit is 1¢), use as much or as little as you like, and top up again when you need more. There’s no monthly lock-in, top-up credits never expire, and auto top-up can refill your balance when it runs low. Plans are optional — for people who create every week, they give up to 12% more credits per dollar, and you can cancel anytime. Every creation feature is open either way.

Question 6

How do credits work, and what am I paying for?

Accepted Answer

Every AI action — writing, narration, images, video clips, music, agent work — shows its credit cost before you click generate, with a breakdown on hover. No surprises, no hidden fees. Rendering and exporting, manual editing in TurboClip Studio and TurboClip Canvas, overlays and saving never cost credits. You set the spend. Pick a lighter model for drafts (like Animated stills) and premium video for the final cut, choose the length and scene count, and regenerate only the scenes that need it. Credits are reserved when a generation starts and returned to your balance automatically if it fails — you only pay for work that completes, at the cost you were shown.

Question 7

Do my credits expire?

Accepted Answer

Top-up credits never expire. Plan credits — and bonus credits from a promo code, a gift or a plan upgrade — last 90 days from when they’re added, on every plan and after a plan ends. Spending uses plan credits first (oldest first), then bonus credits, then top-ups, so the credits closest to expiring always go first. Credits you held on 1 November 2026 count from that day.

Question 8

What’s the difference between the plans?

Accepted Answer

Plans are optional — pay as you go opens the same product. Every plan includes the whole product — TurboClip Canvas, TurboClip Director, TurboClip Studio, AI video and the AI Ad Creator, music, slideshows, automations with TikTok scheduling, data sources, the Studio and Canvas agents, and API + MCP access. Plans differ mainly in monthly credits, and every plan gives more credits per dollar than topping up — up to 12% more. Our most popular plan, Creator, makes up to 30 Director-led videos & ads, 122 narrated short videos or 159 slideshows a month. From Creator up you get priority support; multi-brand team workspaces start at Creator. Higher plans add early access to new models and much larger credit balances for producing at scale. Upgrading charges the difference for the rest of your billing period straight away, and adds the higher plan’s extra credits for that time once it’s paid. Downgrading takes effect at your next renewal.

Question 9

Can I cancel anytime — and what happens to my credits?

Accepted Answer

Yes — go to Account → Billing → Cancel plan. Your plan runs to the end of the period you’ve paid for and won’t renew. There’s no lock-in and no cancellation fee. Everything keeps working without a plan. Plan credits last 90 days from when they were added and top-up credits never expire, so keep creating on pay as you go — topping up as you need — and resubscribe whenever you like.

Question 10

How long does it take to make a video?

Accepted Answer

Minutes. A narrated, captioned video built from AI images is typically ready in a few minutes, and a slideshow faster still; full-motion AI video clips take a little longer to render. The same thing by hand — scripting, voiceover, sourcing visuals, editing, captioning — takes most creators hours. Let the pipeline run end to end and come back to a finished draft, or review at each step. Close the tab mid-generation and it picks up where it left off when you return.

Question 11

Can TurboClip make AI ads with a presenter?

Accepted Answer

Yes — it’s a whole product. The AI Ad Creator generates complete AI ads — UGC-style spots, demos, product close-ups and commercials — where an AI presenter speaks your script to camera, voiced natively by the video model rather than dubbed over. Start From Brief — describe your product, angle and audience — or From Script with your own ad copy (choose Use exactly to keep your words as written). Add product or presenter photos to anchor the look. The AI plans a timecoded shot list (hook → demo → result → CTA); you can review it, then regenerate any single shot until it lands. No actors, no shoot, no studio day. Every ad finishes in TurboClip Studio. A fresh hook or angle is just another generation, so testing several versions is cheap.

Question 12

Can I put my own product in an AI ad and keep it consistent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload a photo of your actual product (and, if you like, your presenter) and the ad is built around it — in-hand, on-pack, in use. A single approved opening image anchors the same presenter and product across the cuts; if one shot drifts, regenerate just that shot. Turn on Linked Mode (beta) and each shot continues from the last frame of the one before, so the ad plays as one continuous take instead of a series of cuts.

Question 13

Can I make a photo come alive and talk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bring a photo of a person — a portrait, a family photo, a character — and TurboClip turns it into a video where they move and speak. The voice and lip movement come out in the same take, so there’s no separate voiceover to record. Describe what they should say and how the scene plays out, then fine-tune the result in TurboClip Studio. Only use photos you have the right to use.

Question 14

Do I need editing or design skills?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Type what you want, check the Director’s plan, and generate — TurboClip handles the script, voice, visuals and captions. When you want more control, it’s there: platform, format, tone, audience, pacing, AI models, reference images, data sources and production notes, plus TurboClip Studio for scene-by-scene editing. The Studio and Canvas agents will also make changes you describe in plain words.

Question 15

Can I choose the AI models it uses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TurboClip is model-agnostic — you pick the models for writing, images, video and voice per project, and we add new frontier models as they ship. To keep it simple, the Video tab’s model chip opens on one model for each way of making it: GPT Image 2.5 Flare for Animated stills (images with camera moves) or Omni 1.2 Flash for Full motion (real video and sound). A model starts at its lowest resolution, and the Resolution and Quality chips beside it go higher. All models opens every model with a search box, each showing its top resolution, clip lengths and whether it makes sound.

Question 16

Can I keep my content on-brand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add reference images — a start frame, an end frame on models that support one, and product, character or style references (how many depends on the model) — and pick a visual style: 27 ready-made styles or your own saved ones, with Style Lock to match every image to the first.

Question 17

Can I make sure the content is factually accurate?

Accepted Answer

As accurate as the information you give it. Upload your own data sources — product specs, research, brand guidelines, notes — and the AI writes from *your* facts, not generic guesses. On supported writing models it can also look details up on the web as it drafts. Review the script before you publish anything that has to be exactly right — every step stays editable.

Question 18

Can I reuse my own images, clips, and products across projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes — everything lives in your Media Library. Upload images, videos and audio or keep everything you generate, organize it into collections (brand assets, characters, product shots), and pull any of it into a video, ad, slideshow, canvas or automation with the built-in picker. You can generate new images, video clips and music right inside the library — no project required — and generating from inside a collection files the result there.

Question 19

What platforms and formats does it support?

Accepted Answer

TurboClip makes content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, YouTube long-form, LinkedIn and more, with aspect ratios suggested per platform (9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5 and others; some video models support fewer). Videos export as 1080p MP4 with baked-in captions. Slideshows export as JPG slides in a ZIP, and post to TikTok as native photo carousels.

Question 20

Can I make long-form videos — 10 minutes or longer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, up to 10 minutes, narrated and captioned end to end. For anything that long, we recommend image-based video (Animated stills): scenes made from AI images with camera moves rather than full AI video clips. Image-based scenes cost far less per minute, so a 10-minute piece stays economical, while full-motion video models are priced for short, motion-heavy clips (ads, hero shots). Image-based long-form suits faceless channels, explainers, tutorials, documentaries, listicles and story-time videos.

Question 21

Is TurboClip good for faceless YouTube channels?

Accepted Answer

It's one of the best fits. A faceless channel runs on a repeatable pipeline — script, voiceover, visuals, captions — with no camera and no on-screen presence. That's exactly what TurboClip produces from a single prompt: a researched script, natural AI narration from a voice you preview and pick, AI scene visuals in a style you lock in, and timed captions — exported as 1080p video with baked-in captions. Fine-tune the pacing in TurboClip Studio before you export.

Question 22

How does a Content Automation actually work?

Accepted Answer

You set it up once. Describe your niche in plain English (or paste an inspiration URL, or upload screenshots of posts you like) and TurboClip builds a complete template — narrative direction, format rules, image style and caption design — that you can tweak field by field. From then on it generates a fresh, on-brand slideshow whenever you ask, or on the schedule you set — a new angle each time. Turn on Keep my schedule filled and it generates ahead so a slot is never empty. Automations make slideshows; videos are made from the create tabs.

Question 23

Will every slideshow stay on brand — and can I keep the same character?

Accepted Answer

Yes to both. Lock in an image style (or a saved style) and turn on consistent styling so every slide matches. Your products and mood-board references carry through as reusable brand assets. For a recurring character — an AI influencer, a mascot, a founder — add them as a labelled Subject Reference and set how often they appear (every slide, most slides, hook only, or let the AI decide). Same face, same brand, a fresh scene every time.

Question 24

Do I stay in control of what gets made?

Accepted Answer

Completely. Everything an automation generates is yours to review and edit — rewrite any slide's text, swap or regenerate an image, reorder slides, all with version history. Scheduled slideshows arrive as drafts you post yourself, so nothing goes live without you — and TikTok analytics show what to double down on.

Question 25

Can it post to TikTok automatically?

Accepted Answer

Almost. Connect your TikTok account once and set a weekly schedule (e.g. Mon–Fri at 9am, 3pm and 8pm). At each slot, your automation sends the next unposted slideshow to your TikTok inbox as a finished draft — photo carousel, AI-written title, description and hashtags — and you publish it with one tap in the TikTok app. You choose the order by dragging the publish queue. Direct posting to your feed isn’t available yet.

Question 26

Can I manage multiple brands or clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes — create a team for each brand and keep its projects, automations and connected TikTok account separate. Switch between them without signing in again, or run different brands in separate browser tabs at once without posting to the wrong account. Multi-brand team workspaces are included on the Creator plan and up.

Question 27

Can AI agents — or my own code — create with TurboClip?

Accepted Answer

Yes — TurboClip is the content engine for agents. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, VS Code or Gemini CLI over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and your agent turns a plain prompt into finished content — narrated videos, UGC-style ads, slideshows, single images and raw AI video clips — and adds styled captions to a video you already have, quoting the credit cost before it spends anything. Connect in one click by signing into your TurboClip account, or use an API key — both spend your own credits. Building a product instead? The public REST API runs the same pipeline for videos, ads, slideshows, images, clips and captions, and every flow has a free estimate that names the exact cost first. Create keys on the API page in the app. Agent and API access are open to every account, no subscription needed. Setup steps for each assistant are on the MCP page in the app and at https://turboclip.ai/mcp; API docs are at https://turboclip.ai/api.

Question 28

Who owns what I make — and can I use it commercially?

Accepted Answer

You do, fully — and yes. Run it anywhere: Meta and TikTok campaigns, YouTube, your website, client work, with no per-use fees. TurboClip never claims rights to your output. Your projects are private by default, and we never train our internal models on your personal data. Videos and ads export as a 1080p MP4, ready to post or upload to your ad account.
