Frequently asked questions

VIA (Video Intelligence Assistant) is an AI video production system for YouTube creators. You bring a script; VIA builds a production bible of characters, locations and style, turns every narration beat into a checked shot, animates it, and assembles a finished long-form video you review as a film.

Generators make one clip at a time and forget everything between prompts. VIA manages the whole production: the same characters, wardrobe, locations and look carry through every scene, each shot is checked against the script before it is drawn, and you judge the result as an assembled video rather than a pile of clips.

Narrated long-form video with recurring characters and places: history, documentary, education and explainers, and story-driven channels. It is not built for talking-head vlogs, live footage or real-person likenesses.

No. You write or paste the script and make creative decisions: approve a character, pick a still, reject a take. VIA writes the image and motion prompts from the script and your approved references.

Each character gets a reference sheet with front, side and back views and fixed wardrobe. Every scene is drawn from those approved references, and each still is judged for identity before it is used. Clips are animated from the approved still, so the face in the video is the face you approved.

No, and that is deliberate. VIA routes each shot to the model that does that kind of shot best and tunes the prompts for it. Holding that choice is how the quality stays consistent across a whole video.

Beta plans start at $99 a month for 3 finished minutes. Creator is $299 a month for 10 finished minutes, about one full YouTube video. Pro is $749 for 30 minutes. AI generation for those minutes is included. Extra minutes are billed by actual use, typically $15–25 each, up to a monthly cap you set.

One minute of video in your exported film. Stills and clips VIA regenerates while getting a scene right do not count against your minutes; only the length of the final cut does.

You keep working. Extra minutes are billed by what they actually use, typically $15 to $25 per finished minute depending on how many scenes and retakes they need. The running total is visible in the app and you set a monthly spending cap.

Apply at viaforcreators.com/beta with your email and the kind of videos you make. VIA is admitting a small number of creators at a time so every production gets proper attention.

You do. Your scripts, characters, references and finished videos are yours to publish and monetize.
