Slice is an AI video generator for vertical short-form video. Type an idea and it writes a hook-first script, generates the visuals scene by scene, records a voiceover, adds word-synced captions and music, and delivers a 9:16 video ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. ### How much does Slice cost? Slice is pay-as-you-go with no subscription. New accounts get 300 free credits. After that, buy a credit pack: 400 credits for $9, 1,000 credits for $19, 2,500 credits for $39, and 6,000 credits for $90. A typical 30-second video uses about 260 credits as fully animated video, or about 110 with still images. Trial videos are up to 20 seconds and carry a small Slice badge; any purchase removes both limits. ### Do credits expire? No, credits never expire. You can also turn on auto top-up to re-buy your chosen pack automatically when your balance drops below 100 credits, and switch it off anytime. ### Can Slice post to social media for me? Yes. Connect Instagram and Slice publishes Reels directly — immediately or on a schedule in your timezone. YouTube Shorts and TikTok publishing are coming soon. ### Can I automate a daily video series? Yes. Automations turn one brief into a recurring series: Slice picks a new subject for each episode, generates the video 24 hours ahead so you can review it, and posts it automatically — up to six times a day. ### Can the same character appear in every video? Yes. Create a character once — described in words, or from a photo with that person's consent — and their face stays consistent across videos and styles. You can also clone a voice from a 20-second recording. ### How long can a Slice video be? Every Slice video is a vertical short under two minutes; 15 to 60 seconds is typical. ### Who owns the videos I make? You keep ownership of what you upload, and Slice assigns to you whatever rights it holds in the videos it generates for your account. AI-generated output may not be protectable by copyright in some countries. ### Which AI models does Slice use? Flux for images; MiniMax H3, FLUX 3 Max and Gemini Omni for motion; ElevenLabs for voice; and Claude for scripts — chosen per scene, so you only pay for premium quality where it matters. ## Legal - [Terms](https://slice.video/terms) - [Privacy](https://slice.video/privacy)
