Requirements

What you need before installing the app, what is mandatory and what each account costs.

This is today’s list. It will change when what the app ships with changes.

Mandatory

The app does not work without this.

  • Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)

    The installer brings everything else the app needs.

  • Claude Code, signed in

    With a Pro or Max plan, or with an API key. It writes the scripts and the scenes.

  • Internet connection

    For Claude, for the paid voice and to check the license.

  • RAM

    Not measured yet.

Recommended

It works without it, but better with it.

  • Free disk space: 20 GB or more

    The app warns below that figure. How much space it really takes has not been measured yet.

  • NVIDIA graphics card (recommended)

    Recommended for every style: with it the app paints and exports much faster. In practice it is mandatory for Illustrated 3D, because fast encoding (NVENC) only exists on NVIDIA. Exporting a 41 s video in that style took 34 min in the measurement made. Painting has a fixed limit of 7,200 s that a slower card can reach. In the other styles, without NVIDIA the app uses standard encoding and renders more slowly.

Depends on the style

Only needed for some styles.

  • Blender 5.2

    Only for Illustrated 3D: it is what renders its 3D drawings. The other fifteen styles, 3D cartoons included, do not need it.

Optional

Widens what you can do.

  • Paid voice: ElevenLabs or Inworld

    With your own account and key. Without it, a local voice or no narrator.

  • Local voice

    It comes with the installer and has no cost per use.

  • Parakeet

    Measures when each word is spoken to adjust the shots; without it, the app estimates it.

What each account costs

Each account is paid to whoever provides it, not to us. The Anthropic figures are the ones we know when preparing this site: check them on their website before signing up.

RequiredPaid to Anthropic

Claude

Pick one of these two ways to pay for it. Just one: you don’t need both.

The usual one

Your Claude subscription

From $20 per month

Any paid plan works: Pro ($20 per month) or Max ($100 to $200 per month).

or

The alternative

An API key

Pay as you go

In the 3D styles it can cost far more than a plan; the app shows an estimate before you start.

With Claude Code and your session signed in. A bigger plan means more videos a month; how many fit in each has not been measured yet. Plan limits are for “ordinary, individual use”.

OptionalPaid to ElevenLabs or Inworld

Paid voice

Depends on your plan

With your account and your key. Check on their website which plan allows commercial use. Without it, the app ships a local voice, or you make the video with no narrator.
