# FicReel

> Turn a prompt or reference image into an anime keyframe, then animate it into a 5–10 second video shot. Free trial, no card, one press per generation.

FicReel is an AI anime shot studio for English-speaking creators. It is image-first: a prompt or reference image becomes a keyframe, and the keyframe becomes a five- or ten-second shot.

## Facts

- FicReel is a browser-based AI anime image and video studio. Input: a text prompt or a reference image. Output: one keyframe image, then one 5- or 10-second video shot, downloadable.
- The workflow is deliberately image-first: a person generates or uploads a frame, then generates the motion from that frame. Nothing chains, retries, or spends credits automatically.
- New devices start with 100 free credits. An image costs 6 credits; a 5-second shot costs 45 credits; a 10-second shot costs 90 credits.
- FicReel is not a one-click video generator and not an editor: there is no timeline, no music, no lip-sync, and no long-form export. A shot is one continuous take of five or ten seconds.
- FicReel does not ship a library of third-party characters and does not reproduce specific copyrighted characters. Users work from their own art, photos they have rights to, or generated frames.
- The underlying models are not disclosed; the public product name for the generation engine is ficreel-1.0.
- Checkout is not open today, so the site cannot take a payment. This is a factual state, not a temporary marketing claim; the pricing page lists the tiers the product is built around.
