2. Enter a text prompt or upload an image as input.
3. Select settings like duration, aspect ratio, and resolution (e.g., HD 480p).
4. Generate the video and review. Refine by adjusting the prompt or switching models.

FAQ

Is Epochal free?

Yes. You get 15 free credits after signing up, no credit card required. Each generation costs a set number of credits shown before you generate.

How do credits work?

Credits are consumed per generation based on model and settings. Text-to-video typically costs more than image-to-video. Unused credits roll over on annual plans.

Can I use my own images as input?

Yes. Upload a still image (JPEG, PNG) and apply motion to create a video from it. The original composition stays recognizable.

Do I lose credits if a generation fails?

No. If a generation fails, the credits are refunded automatically.
