FAQ

Questions, answered.

What do I get on the free plan?

One real video: a MotionCraft explainer up to 1 minute long, on any topic. You can edit it in the storyboard and the Studio and export it as a 1080p MP4, with a small CourseSmith watermark in the corner. You can also watch the example lectures and reels, create one course with its AI outline, and read the Research tab. Every other style, longer videos and no watermark start with the $4.99 Try pass or a plan.

What is the $4.99 Try pass?

A one-time payment — no subscription, nothing renews. For 7 days you get every Pro tool, X-Ray / PictureMotion reels and Analyze Codebase included, on the regular models, plus 12 minutes of video that never expire — enough for one X-Ray or PictureMotion reel. One per account; after 7 days your account returns to Free unless you choose a plan.

How do minutes work?

A minute is one minute of finished video in a standard style. Richer styles use minutes faster — see the table below. Your plan’s minutes reset on the 1st of each month, so use them or lose them; minutes you buy in packs never expire and are used after your plan’s minutes.

Need more minutes this month?

Buy a minute pack from your profile — 10 minutes for $15, 30 for $39 or 100 for $119. Pack minutes never expire and stack on top of your plan.

How does billing work?

Plans are billed monthly or annually (two months free) through Stripe. You can switch plans, update your card or cancel at any time from your profile. Moving up applies straight away (Stripe shows the prorated amount first); moving down starts when your paid period ends, and cancelling keeps the plan active until then.

How long can a screen recording be?

Cutaway recordings can be up to 10 minutes on Creator, and up to 30 minutes on Pro and above and the Try pass. 30 minutes is the most any single recording can be.

How large can a document be?

PDF, Word and PowerPoint files can be up to 25 MB and 60 pages on Creator, 50 MB and 200 pages on Pro, 100 MB and 500 pages on Studio, and 200 MB and 1,000 pages on Enterprise.

What can CourseSmith turn into a course?

A topic, a URL or pasted text, a YouTube video, a PDF, slide deck or Word document, a screen recording, a GitHub repository (Pro and Studio), or your Jira and Confluence work (Enterprise). It writes the script, renders the visuals, narrates it, and exports a chaptered course. A website becomes a product tour or launch film, and a listing link becomes a real estate listing video.

Can I make several videos at once?

Each account works on one of each at a time: one script being written, one storyboard being prepared for the Studio and one video rendering. When one finishes, start the next — the Dashboard shows what is still running.

Can I use my own voice?

Yes, on Pro and above and the Try pass: clone your voice. Every paid plan and the Try pass include the built-in voice library, with dubbing in 38 languages.

Do I own what I make?

Yes — your content and the exported videos are yours to publish, sell, or share.

Make your first video free. Try everything for $4.99.

No subscription to start. Bring a repo, a syllabus, or a stack of notes.
