What is the Creative Claw video agent? +
It is an agent that makes designed videos from a description. You say what the video should show, how long it is and what size. The agent writes the composition, generates the images, voiceover, music and sound effects the brief calls for, checks every scene, and renders a finished MP4 with sound.
How is it different from generating a video with Seedance or another video model? +
A video model films a scene: people, places and camera moves. The video agent designs one: titles, layouts, charts, product shots, captions and motion, with exact text and exact timing. Use the agent for explainers, promos, launch teasers, kinetic type and data stories. Use a video model for photorealistic footage and character acting.
What does a video cost? +
Most videos cost between about 25 and 450 credits ($0.25 to $4.50). Where a video lands depends on its length and on how complex the task is: more scenes, footage to cut, media to generate and extra polish all mean more work for the agent. You are charged for the work actually done.
What is the most a video can cost? +
The agent's own work is never charged above 400 credits at Light, 600 at Medium and 1,000 at High, whatever it took. Media the agent generates is added at its normal credit price and cannot exceed the media budget, which is 200 credits unless you set another. Most videos cost far less than these ceilings.
Which AI model does the video agent use? +
Every effort level runs on Claude Opus 5.5, driving Claude Code on a cloud machine that has a browser, a renderer and the HyperFrames tools. Opus 5.5 is the best model for motion design we have used. The effort level sets how long it thinks, not which model it is.
Why are 200 credits held when it starts? +
The final cost is only known when the agent finishes, so 200 credits are set aside at the start. If the video costs less, the difference comes back. If it costs more, the rest is charged then, up to the ceiling for the effort level. The account needs 200 credits available to start.
What happens if it fails or I stop it? +
A turn that fails is not charged and the full hold comes back. If you stop a turn yourself, the work the agent had already done is charged, the rest of the hold comes back, and no video is made. The card asks you to confirm before it stops.
How long does it take? +
A small change takes about a minute. A short text-led video takes one to four minutes. Our heaviest turns so far, 25-second videos cut from supplied footage, took 16 to 23 minutes and cost between 300 and 450 credits. You can ask for an email when the video is ready.
Can I use my own footage, images, music and logo? +
Yes. Attach up to 20 files and say what each one is for. The agent can cut your footage, keep your original music, place your logo and match your poster. Set the media budget to 0 if you want it to use only what you supplied.
Can I reuse a video as a starting point? +
Yes. Every finished video comes with its project file, which you can start a new video from. You can also start from one of the HyperFrames example projects on our examples page: name the example and say what to change.
