Turns a prompt or script into a finished video with narration, b-roll, subtitles and music
VideoGen takes a prompt, a script or a link and produces a complete video: it writes narration, selects stock or generated b-roll to match each line, adds a synthetic voiceover in more than forty languages, burns in subtitles and lays music underneath, then drops the result into a browser timeline for cleanup. Around that core sit image-to-video, avatars, sound effects, background removal, upscaling, transcription and translation of an existing clip. The company is a Y Combinator-backed San Francisco startup that says it has passed five million users. It sells one Pro seat with a monthly credit allowance and prices heavy programmatic use as a separate API add-on rather than folding it into the seat.
Pro is $16/month per user with 5,000 credits and 50 GB of storage, about a third cheaper billed yearly; Enterprise is quoted. Individual AI actions draw down credits at rates published on a separate card, and a production API add-on is priced separately at $360/month.
Use tool ↗This is the assembly-line end of AI video: you are not directing shots, you are handing over a script and getting a watchable explainer or ad back with narration, footage and captions already in place. The timeline editor afterwards is what separates it from the one-click generators — you can fix the bits it got wrong instead of regenerating. Credits, not the subscription, are what actually limits you, and the API is a separate purchase at a big step up in price.
Watch out: The homepage advertises a much lower headline figure than the plan page shows — the low number is the yearly-billed effective rate on a smaller tier, while the Pro plan reads $16/month.
