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.
-
Option 1 of 2 · paid to Anthropic
Claude: with your subscription
From $20 per month
The usual choice, and you don’t need an API key on top. Any paid Claude plan works: Pro ($20 per month) or Max ($100 to $200 per month), 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. The limits are for “ordinary, individual use”.
-
Option 2 of 2 · paid to Anthropic
Claude: or with an API key
Pay as you go
Instead of the subscription, not on top of it. You pay for what you use. In the 3D styles it can cost far more than a plan; the app shows an estimate before you start.
-
Paid to ElevenLabs or Inworld
Paid voice (optional)
Depends on your plan
With your account and your key. Check on their website which plan allows commercial use. Without it: a local voice or no narrator.
