What resolution are AI chapter films — and how good is the render quality?

Every export is a 1080p MP4 with cinematic camera motion, AI voiceover, and original score. ChapterCut uses top-tier generative video models tuned for narrative fiction, not slideshows with stock footage. Characters, locations, and lighting stay consistent scene-to-scene — the way a real short film does.

Can I refund an AI film render — and cancel my subscription?

Failed renders are refunded automatically — if a render doesn't pass our quality checks, your credit returns to your account so you can try again. Author Pro is a monthly subscription you can cancel anytime from your dashboard; you keep access through the end of the billing cycle. Starter Pack purchases are one-time and don't auto-renew.

Pricing — ChapterCut

Q: When is a credit used — and do AI film credits expire?

A credit is consumed the moment you start a film render. If the render fails our quality checks, your credit is refunded automatically. Starter Pack credits never expire — they sit in your account until you use them. Author Pro credits reset each month and don't roll over.

Q: Do I own the AI generated book trailer my film produces?

Yes — your book, your film. Every MP4 you export is yours to keep forever. Use it on your author website, book trailers, ads, social media, or anywhere else. ChapterCut retains no rights to your film or the underlying chapter text.

Q: How long does an AI chapter film take to render?

Most chapter films finish in under 5 minutes. Longer chapters with more scenes can take up to 10 minutes. You'll get an email the moment your film is ready, and it stays in your dashboard for download anytime.

Common questions

What's a credit?

1 credit = 1 chapter film. When you use a credit, ChapterCut generates a full cinematic video from your chapter — complete with AI visuals, voiceover, music, and scene transitions. Credits are consumed when you start a film render, and they never expire.

Do I have to subscribe?

No. The Starter Pack is a one-time purchase — pay $9 for 5 film credits and use them whenever you want. No subscription, no recurring charge. Subscribe to Author Pro only when you're filming chapters regularly and want monthly credits plus every Pro feature.

When does Author Pro make sense?

If you film 10+ chapters a month, Author Pro ($49/mo · 10 credits) is the cheapest path. New to ChapterCut? Start with the Starter Pack. Upgrade to Pro when monthly credits and Pro-only features become worth the subscription.

Do unused credits roll over?

Starter Pack credits never expire — they stay in your account until you use them. Author Pro credits reset each month and don't roll over, so they're best used by authors who film consistently.

Can I try it for free?

Yes — paste a chapter on the homepage and get a free scene blueprint (no account needed). To render a full chapter film, you'll need 1 credit. Grab the Starter Pack ($9 for 5 credits) to try it with a real project — no subscription required.
