Video

Three ways to make a clip

In Creation, the Video tab makes a clip:

• from words: describe the shot;
• from a picture: animate a still, with an opening frame (and on some models a closing frame) you choose;
• from a clip: change a clip you already have with a video editing model, upscale it, or smooth it.

Or ask in any chat: "turn this product shot into a 6 second clip", "make a 15 second commercial". The job runs in Creation's queue either way, and lands in the Library.

The models

The picker lists the video models of every provider you have set up, each with a line on what it does well, its lengths and whether it makes sound. Among them: Google's Veo, Kling, Wan, Seedance, Hailuo, Runway Gen, xAI's Grok Imagine and FLUX Video, through OpenRouter, Runway, fal, Replicate, Luma and Google. The list is read from the providers, so new models appear without an app update.

Settings follow the model: length, shape, motion, camera, sound on or off, and a seed where the model takes one.

Shot lists

The Shot list turns a script you paste, or a brief Mori writes from, into shots. Each shot has a length, the words on screen and a voiceover line. Make or redo any shot, animate a still for it, and pick the take you like. Assemble then builds an Editor project from the takes you chose, with the shots in order, ready to cut, caption and score.

How long a clip takes

A clip takes minutes, so the queue runs in the app itself and keeps going if you switch threads or close Creation. Every job only ever says what is true of it right now: queued, starting, generating (with the provider's own status), saving, done, failed with the provider's own reason, or cancelled.

When a clip outlives the chat's wait, the reply says it is still being made and where it will land, rather than claiming it was made. Cancelling a route that cannot be cancelled says it may still be billed. Plans run a set number of jobs at once: one on Free, two on Plus, three on Pro, four on Studio, six on Max.

Every clip is checked

A clip is not announced until it has been looked at. On your computer, the clip is read once for its facts and for any black or frozen stretches:

• its length against the length you asked for;
• its size;
• whether it has sound, when sound was asked for;
• how much of it is black or frozen.

Then four frames go to a vision model with your prompt, and its answer says whether they match. The reply says what was checked and held, what was found wrong, and what could not be checked. A clip with a problem is flagged in the reply, never announced as made like a good one, so you or Mori can make it again. If a check could not run, the clip is still saved, because it was already paid for.

Sound, voice and music

Some video models make their own sound. For the rest, and for a whole edit:

• Voiceover: speech from ElevenLabs, from the shot list's lines or your own script.
• Sound effects from ElevenLabs.
• Music: from ElevenLabs, or Google's Lyria through OpenRouter when asked in chat.

In the editor, music is ducked under the voice and the mix is brought to the loudness each platform expects.

Smoothing and upscaling

Smoothing a clip to 48 or 60 frames a second runs on your computer and is free. Upscaling and editing an existing clip run on video models (such as FLUX Video Edit, FLUX Video Upscale or Runway's editing model) and show their price first like any other job.

Price and the monthly count

The price shows before anything is spent. With your own amount set in Settings > Spend, a job above it asks once more before it runs. Scheduled runs never make video, so an automation can never spend on a clip by itself, and text inside a web page can never start one.

Clips count toward the month on any key: Free 2, Plus 30, Pro 80, Studio 200, Max 500. A job reserves its clips when it is queued and gives back what it did not make. A busy provider never moves your clip to a pricier route than the one you saw.

From a reference

Show Mori a video you like and say what you want: an exact copy of its look, one like it, only its feel, or her edit of your own clips cut to its pace. The same intent reading as Images decides how close she goes, and one short question settles it when she is unsure. For an edit, the reference's own shot lengths and title style are measured (see Cut to a reference).
