Getting Started
Quick Start
Sign up, get credits and generate your first AI video on Kensa.
Step 1: Create your account
Sign in with Google or with a magic link sent to your email. New accounts that sign up with Google get 15 free credits, enough for one Veo 3.1 clip. Free credits expire after 3 days.
Step 2: Get credits
Every generation costs credits. The price depends on the model, the duration and the resolution, and the generator shows the exact cost before you start. On the Pricing page you can:
- Subscribe to a monthly or yearly plan for credits every billing period.
- Buy a credit pack for a one-time top-up.
Credits are reserved when a generation starts. If it fails, they are returned to your balance.
Step 3: Generate your first video
- Open Text to Video, or Image to Video if you want to start from a photo.
- Describe the video you want, for example:
A golden retriever running through a sunlit meadow, cinematic slow motion, warm lighting.
- Choose a model. Veo 3.1 is a good first pick: a flat 13 credits per 8-second clip with audio. See AI Models for all models and prices.
- Set the duration, aspect ratio and resolution the model offers.
- Click Generate. Most clips are ready in a few minutes.
Step 4: Review and download
When the video is ready you can preview and download it. All your videos are in My Creations.
