Can you make the Bad Times AI video for free?

Partly. Your first preview is free with no card: a picture of you at the lens, then the first 4 seconds of the argument with a watermark. The full 15-second video with no watermark and the song is paid, with one-time packs and no subscription.

What's free

  • A picture of you right at the lens, pointing, made from your photo.
  • The first 4 seconds of the video in Standard (480p): the head grab and the hand on the hip, silent, with a watermark.
  • One free preview per device, no card and no subscription.

What you pay for

The full 15-second video: the "hold on" part, the charge at the camera and the finger in the lens, with the song and a silent copy, and no watermark. It uses 100 credits in HD (720p) or 50 in Standard (480p). Packs are paid once, credits never expire, and a video that fails gives its credits back. Prices are on the pricing page.

Free ways elsewhere

Free CapCut templates exist; what your photo becomes depends on the template (CapCut vs AI). Some general AI video apps have free credits, and you write the prompt and add the song yourself (a prompt to copy).

Free: questions

Does the free preview have a watermark?

Yes. The free preview is watermarked; the full video you pay for has none.

Do I need a credit card for the free preview?

No. You sign in with Google or an email code, and no card is asked for.

Is there a subscription?

No. Credit packs are one-time payments and the credits never expire.

Try it free, no card.
