Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AI video generation with Kensa.
General
Kensa is an AI video generation platform that lets you create professional videos from text prompts or images. Simply describe the video you want — including scene, mood, and camera movement — and our AI models (Seedance 2.0, Grok Image Video, Veo 3.1, Kling 3, Seedance 1.5) generate a finished video in 2-5 minutes. No video editing experience required.
You can start for free. New accounts created with Google sign-up get 15 free credits, valid for 3 days, with no credit card required. That is enough for one Veo 3.1 clip (13 credits). After that, plans start at $9.90/month or you can buy credit packs starting at $14.90.
Most videos are ready in 2-5 minutes depending on the model, duration, and resolution. Veo 3.1 is the fastest at around 1-2 minutes for 8-second clips. Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3 take 3-5 minutes for longer 15-second videos.
No. Kensa is designed for everyone. Just write a text description of the video you want, choose a model, and click generate. The AI handles all the cinematography, lighting, and editing automatically.
Yes, with the Pro or Ultimate plan or the Premium credit pack, which include a commercial use license. Videos made with them can be used for social media, advertising, product demos, client work and other commercial purposes. The Basic plan and the Starter and Standard packs do not include commercial use.
AI Models
Kensa offers 6 AI video models: Seedance 2.0 (by ByteDance — free native audio, first+last frame, up to 15s at 720p), MiniMax H3 (by MiniMax — 5 to 15s with audio at 480P, 768P or 2K, from 1.5 credits per second), Grok Image Video (by xAI — 6 or 10s clips from 5 credits), Veo 3.1 (by Google — 8s clips with audio at a flat 13 credits), Kling 3 (by Kuaishou — image-to-video with realistic motion, 720p or 1080p), and Seedance 1.5 Pro (by ByteDance — 4 to 12s, 480p to 1080p, free audio). Sora 2 is no longer available.
Seedance 2.0 is ByteDance's second-generation AI video model. On Kensa it offers native audio at no extra cost, first+last frame control, reference images for consistent characters, clips from 4 to 15 seconds at 480p or 720p, and 6 aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9).
Grok Image Video is xAI's AI video model, available on Kensa. It supports text-to-video and image-to-video at 480p or 720p, 6 or 10 seconds, with flat pricing from 5 credits per video (480p, 6s) to 15 credits (720p, 10s). It is a good fit for budget content and quick experiments.
Yes. Seedance 2.0 generates native audio at no additional cost: keep the Generate Audio toggle on and your video includes sound effects and ambient audio for the same credits as a silent clip. Seedance 1.5 Pro audio is also free, and Veo 3.1 clips include audio in their flat 13 credits.
For TikTok and Reels, Seedance 2.0 is now the top recommendation: free audio generation means your videos are ready to post immediately without adding music separately, and it supports 9:16 vertical natively. Kling 3 is a strong choice for realistic motion from a product or portrait photo. Veo 3.1 is the cheapest way to test ideas (13 credits per clip) for rapid content testing.
Pricing & Credits
Credits are the currency for video generation. Different models cost different amounts: Veo 3.1 is 13 credits per clip (fixed), Seedance 2.0 is 7.7+ credits/s, Kling 3 is 6 credits/second, Seedance 1.5 is 4 credits/second. You always see the exact cost before generating. Credits come with subscriptions or can be purchased as one-time packs.
Basic ($9.90/month, 280 credits), Pro ($29.90/month, 960 credits, most popular), and Ultimate ($79.90/month, 2850 credits). Annual plans save ~17%. All plans include HD video generation. Pro adds no watermark and commercial use. Ultimate adds priority support and API access. Of the one-time credit packs, only the Premium pack includes commercial use.
Subscription credits are valid for 30 days (refreshed each billing cycle). One-time credit packs are valid for 365 days. You can check expiring credits anytime from your dashboard.
Credits are automatically refunded if generation fails. We use a freeze-settle-release system: credits are frozen when generation starts, settled on success, and released back to your balance on failure. You never lose credits to failed generations.
Unused credit packs can be refunded within 7 days of purchase. Subscription refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact [email protected] for refund requests.
E-commerce
Go to E-commerce Video Generator, paste your Shopify, Amazon, or WooCommerce product URL. Kensa automatically extracts the product title, description, price, and images. Choose your target platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) and ad style, then AI generates multiple video scripts. Pick one and generate your video with one click.
Kensa works with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Etsy, BigCommerce, and most custom online stores. Our scraper extracts data from JSON-LD, Open Graph, and HTML meta tags — so it works with virtually any product page.
Six styles: UGC Product Review (authentic feel), Problem-Solution (hook with pain point), Unboxing Experience (satisfying reveal), Lifestyle Showcase (aspirational setting), Before & After (transformation), and Top Reasons Countdown. Each is optimized for social media conversion.
Yes, if you make them on the Pro or Ultimate plan or with the Premium credit pack, which include commercial rights. Generated videos work with TikTok Ads, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Amazon Sponsored Brands Video, and all other ad platforms. Videos export as standard MP4 files.
UGC creators cost $200-500 per video with 1-2 week turnaround. AI video costs a few dollars per clip and delivers in minutes. AI excels at rapid iteration and A/B testing multiple hooks. Many sellers use both — AI for volume testing, humans for proven winners.
Technical
All videos export as MP4 files. Resolutions: 480p, 720p, 1080p HD (model-dependent). Aspect ratios: 16:9 (YouTube), 9:16 (TikTok/Reels), 1:1 (Instagram), 4:3, 3:4, and 21:9 ultrawide. Durations: 4-15 seconds per clip.

Kensa uses AI-powered prompt filtering to prevent NSFW, violent, and misleading content generation. Generated videos are not currently marked as AI-generated (no visible label or embedded metadata), so disclose AI use where platform rules or the law require it. See our Acceptable Use Policy for full details on prohibited content.
The copyright status of AI-generated content varies by jurisdiction. The U.S. Copyright Office has indicated purely AI-generated works may lack sufficient human authorship for copyright registration. The Pro and Ultimate plans and the Premium credit pack include commercial usage rights, but we recommend consulting a legal professional for copyright-critical use cases. See our AI Transparency page for details.
Your prompts and uploads are processed by third-party AI providers to generate videos. Generated videos are stored on Cloudflare R2 and appear only in your own library. They are not published anywhere, but each video file has an unlisted link, and anyone who has that link can open it. We maintain generation logs for compliance. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
