Common Questions

Everything you need to know about creating with Vivified.

What makes Vivified different from other AI video tools?

While most tools only animate single images, Vivified is built for Movie Assembly. We allow you to sequence multiple AI-generated clips into a full, high-definition movie with soundtracks and mixed aspect ratios, all in one workspace.

Do I have to pay a monthly subscription?

No. We believe in Pay-As-You-Go creativity. You purchase credits when you need them, and they stay in your account until you use them. No recurring fees, no hidden contracts, and no "subscription fatigue."

Are my private photos used to train AI models?

Absolutely not. Your privacy is our priority. We do not use your uploaded family archives or private media to train our public AI models. Your content remains yours.

How long do you keep my project files?

We operate on a 90-day retention policy. This gives you plenty of time to animate, assemble, and download your final movie. After 90 days, projects are automatically purged to ensure platform performance and data security.

Can I combine vertical and horizontal clips?

Yes! Our intelligent frame-fitting technology allows you to mix social-media-style vertical (9:16) clips with cinematic horizontal (16:9) clips in the same movie timeline seamlessly.
