Frequently asked questions
What can I try for free?
New accounts receive 150 credits once. Earn up to 50 more: 10 for saving your first Story and Video Spec, 10 for your first Element image, 10 for your first storyboard, and 20 after your first successful Shot video. Each reward is granted once after its milestone is completed; future rewards are not available to spend upfront.
Do I need a membership to use Generator?
Tools Image is available with sufficient Wallet credits, including on Free. Tools Video requires Starter or above, from $9.99/month, and still uses credits per generation. Eligible existing credit-pack purchasers retain Tools Video access. Director access is unchanged; model availability and account limits still apply.
When are credits used?
Image and video generation uses Wallet credits. Director can run image and video steps within your available balance and production limits; TTS and publishing require explicit approval. Check the request estimate and your credit receipts.
What is the difference between Starter and Plus?
Starter unlocks the complete Community library, attributed collections, promoted art styles and BGM, and credit-pack purchases. Plus also lets you choose and pin reviewed Film Skills and use Smarter planning. Pro and Studio include these features with more monthly credits. Image and video generation uses Wallet credits on every plan; TTS and publishing still require explicit approval.
Do Creator subscriptions include generation credits?
The first successful paid Creator subscription grants 500 credits exactly once. Starter includes 100 credits per paid month, Plus 300, Pro 2,400, and Studio 6,000. Monthly credits expire at the end of their billing period and do not roll over. Purchased credit packs never expire. Generation is metered at the displayed rate; no plan includes unlimited compute.
Can I try the recipes before subscribing?
Yes. Every generated proof and source note is public, and five allowlisted recipes expose their complete prompts for free. Locked recipes show a useful preview before checkout.
Can I use the recipes for commercial work?
You can use the recipes to create your own projects, subject to Vixel's Terms and the model provider's rules. You may not resell, mirror, or bulk-export the prompt library itself.
Why is an attributed public asset included in a paid workflow?
The collection remains credited to Kōda. The subscription pays for Vixel's hosted searchable index, curation, stable previews, source attribution and reference browsing—not ownership, authorship, or exclusivity over the source asset.
How do cancellation and refunds work?
Creator subscriptions renew automatically each month until canceled. Open Account → Plans & billing to update payment, review invoices, switch plans, or cancel renewal in Stripe. Cancellation is scheduled for the end of the paid period, so access continues until that date. A verified full refund revokes the related subscription access and reverses first-paid credits only when that exact first invoice originally granted the 500-credit bonus. Taxes may apply at checkout.
What happens if a Creator credit pack is fully refunded?
A verified full refund reverses the full credit grant from that pack once and revokes the base Workspace/standard Agent access granted by that purchase. If some credits were already used, the Creator balance may become negative and paid generation stays blocked until later credits cover it. Other active subscriptions or credit-pack grants remain unchanged.
