Make your first video

Videos are paid for with credits. A new account is on the Free plan, which has none, so the quickest way to your first video is the 3-day free trial of Creator: $0 today and 310 credits, enough for two Hold & Show videos at 480p.

1. Sign up. Continue with Google or with your email address. A short welcome asks what describes you best and how you heard about us.
2. Start the free trial. Press Start 3-day free trial, read the terms, tick the box and add a card on our payment processor's page. You pay $0 today.
3. Add a product. Open Workflow in the sidebar, press Paste product links (with no products yet, the link under the import button reads or paste product links) and paste a TikTok Shop product link. It's ready in about a minute.
4. Pick photos. Tick the photos the AI may use. The first one you tick leads; tap the star on another photo to make it lead.
5. Pick the pictures. Your ticked photos go in as pictures, which is free, or make an AI scene around your product (35 credits a picture with Nano Banana Pro) and tick it to start the video from it.
6. Make the video. Describe how the camera moves in your own words, pick a model and a length, and check the price on the credit chip beside the Make video button, for example 105 credits for 5 seconds of Kling 3.0 at 1080p. Then press it.
7. Add text, or skip. Put your own words on the video, or press Continue without text.
8. Finish. Watch your video and download it. It's in your Library too.

Or start from a formula

A formula plans the shot for you. Open Create, scroll down to the formulas, pick Hold & Show, choose your product and its photos, and press Run. One Hold & Show video is 155 credits at 480p.

Good to know

• A Get started checklist sits in the bottom-right corner until you've added a product, picked the opening frame and made a video.
• A video runs in the background, so you can leave the page while it's made.
• If a run fails, its credits come back automatically.
