<p class="font_8">Video filters turn a single photo into a short AI-generated video. Instead of receiving a static image, guests get an animated clip with movement and effects.</p>

<h2 class="font_2"><strong>How video filters work</strong></h2>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">Magipic generates multiple frames from the original photo and combines them into a short video. This process is more complex than image generation and takes longer to complete.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<h2 class="font_2"><strong>How many credits do video filters use?</strong></h2>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">One AI image uses 1 credit.<br>
One AI video uses 5 credits.</p>
<p class="font_8">This applies to both video filters and follow-up videos.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<h2 class="font_2"><strong>How long does video generation take?</strong></h2>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">Most videos are ready within 3–5 minutes. During busy periods, generation may take slightly longer.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<h2 class="font_2"><strong>How are videos delivered?</strong></h2>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">Videos are delivered in the same ways as images. Guests can receive them by email, download them via QR code, or access them from the results screen.</p>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<h2 class="font_2"><strong>When should I use video filters?</strong></h2>
<p class="font_8"><br></p>
<p class="font_8">Video filters work best for premium events, branded activations, and follow-up content. Because they use more credits, many hosts offer them as an optional upgrade.</p>
