We’ve updated how generation pricing works in Hypernatural.
Previously, every initial generation cost a flat 20 credits, regardless of whether you created a short stock video or a longer custom production.
With this update, generation costs are now based on the elements used in your video, such as narration length, images, and animations. This makes pricing more transparent and gives you more control over how credits are used.
Before generating, you’ll always see the full credit cost of your video.
Estimate your video cost
If you'd like a quick estimate before generating, you can use the credit cost calculator. It estimates the initial generation cost based on video length, narration type, and visuals (before edits or animations).
New: Choose between Custom and Stock mode
Before generating a video, you can now choose between Custom mode or Stock mode depending on what you want to create.

How it works
Custom mode
Custom characters, products, or consistent visuals
Every scene uses newly generated images.
Stock mode
Generic visuals or b-roll
Scenes use images from the Hypernatural stock library.
Stock images are free, so this mode is useful when you need background visuals that do not require custom generation.
Because the first 30 seconds of audio are also free, a 30-second stock-only video can cost 0 credits.
