PennyReel turns an idea, photo, or reusable cast into AI-generated video. CREATE A SINGLE CLIP Describe a shot or add reference photos, video, or audio. Choose the format, length, style, camera movement, and quality, then generate your clip. MAKE A COMPLETE FILM Start with a longer story idea. PennyReel writes a script, plans the cast and locations, creates storyboard images, and produces fixed 15-second scenes that are joined into one film. Each scene uses the characters, places, and storyboards that belong to that scene—without forcing the previous scene's last frame into the next one. REUSE YOUR CAST AND PLACES Save a character or location once, select it for a new clip or film, and use its image as a visual reference so your chosen assets take part in the result. KEEP AND WATCH YOUR WORK Completed work is stored on PennyReel's persistent server, while GPU nodes only provide generation compute. Watch finished videos online from Library, download them to your device, and resume interrupted downloads instead of starting over. CLEAR CREDIT ACCOUNTING Credits are used for AI video, storyboard image, asset image, and film generation. See your purchase, spending, and refund history in the app. Credits do not expire, and failed charged generations return credits automatically. AI output can vary. Always review generated media and make sure you have the rights and consent required for uploaded references.
