Account & access

Do I need any third-party software license to use StudioCut.Video?

No. Our hosted plans include everything you need. Self-hosting requires a standard cloud server and the dependencies listed in our self-host guide.

Can I invite my team?

Yes — Professional and above include team seats. Roles are Owner, Producer, Reviewer, and Viewer.

How do I cancel my account?

Settings → Subscription → Cancel. Effective at the end of the current billing period. Data export and deletion paths are self-serve.

Can my team collaborate?

Yes. Professional and above include team seats with defined roles — Owner, Producer, Reviewer, and Viewer — plus shared brand, voice, and media libraries so every production stays on-brand. Reviewers can sign off at each phase gate, and clients can be looped in for review. It's agency-grade collaboration without enterprise pricing.

Production

How long does a video take?

Phase 1 (planning) generation runs ~30–90 seconds; allow 5–7 minutes wall-clock if you review the plan before approving. Phase 2 typically 2–10 minutes, Phase 3 1–3 minutes, Phase 4 1–8 minutes depending on length and vendor load. Phase 5 is instant (under a minute). End-to-end auto-approve usually completes in 10–20 minutes.

Can I edit a single scene after generation?

Yes. Regenerate one image, rewrite one script line, replace one clip — without re-rendering anything else.

What's the max video length?

Up to 12 minutes on Professional, up to 30 on Enterprise. Longer videos available on request.

Do you watermark videos?

Only on the Free plan. All paid plans are watermark-free.

Do I get the raw assets?

Yes. The finished, publish-ready video is yours — and so is every asset behind it: the written script, the voiceover audio, and each scene the pipeline produced. They are downloadable alongside the final MP4. There is no lock-in: you own your work and can take it anywhere.

Billing

Can I switch plans mid-month?

Yes. Upgrades are prorated and effective immediately. Downgrades apply at the next billing date.

Do unused videos roll over?

No. Monthly allotments reset on your billing date. Volume add-ons help cover spikes.

What payment methods do you accept?

Major credit cards via your local payment provider, plus invoiced ACH/SEPA for Enterprise.

How do refunds work?

See the refund policy — prorated within 14 days, plus credit-to-account for partial periods.

AI & quality

Which AI providers do you use?

Default routing uses leading multimodal AI for image and video generation and premium voice synthesis. You can plug in additional providers.

Do I need my own AI accounts?

No. We handle the AI for you — no accounts to create, no API keys to manage, no juggling models or providers. Failover between providers is automatic, and AI is billed at cost. Bringing your own keys is an optional advanced path if you prefer to manage providers yourself.

Can I bring my own API keys?

Yes. Bring keys for any supported AI provider. You're billed by the vendor; we don't markup AI cost.

How do you handle low-quality AI output?

Phase-confidence checks flag low-quality scenes for human review even in Auto-Approve mode. You can regenerate without burning the whole video.

Storage

Where are my videos stored?

Production uses your configured cloud object storage. Mode is switchable via settings.

Can I download my videos?

Always. MP4 export is one click. CDN URLs are also available for direct embedding.

Multi-language

How many languages are supported?

Twenty-four production languages for narration and subtitles. RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu) ship with correct script direction.

Will the voice match the locale?

Yes — per-locale voice presets preserve gender and tone across translations.

Errors

My render is stuck — what now?

Open the production from your dashboard and check the phase status — most stalls are temporary and resume on their own within a few minutes. If it is still stuck, use the Cancel & Retry button on the production page; this restarts only the failed phase, not the whole video, and does not consume an extra video credit. If the retry also fails, contact support@studiocut.video with the production ID and we will resolve it.

An AI vendor is down. Will my video fail?

Vendor failover is built in. If the primary provider is degraded, traffic routes to the configured secondary.

Where do I report a bug?

Email support@studiocut.video or use the in-app feedback button.
