Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking Machines: Inkling is one of the AI video models available on Free.ai. Use the form on this page to generate a clip; below the fold you will find sample prompts, pricing, and alternatives.
On Free.ai, video generation tops out at 6 seconds per clip across all video models. To extend, use the Extend button on the full /video/ tool — it captures the last frame and continues from there.
16:9 landscape (YouTube, desktop), 9:16 portrait (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), and 1:1 square (Instagram feed). Pick the ratio in the form before you generate so the model frames the shot for that shape.
720p HD by default. Some premium models support up to 1080p — check the Compare card. You can upscale any output in /video/upscaler/ after the fact.
Strong on natural motion (people walking, cars driving, water, weather). Weaker on intricate hand interaction and fine text. Use camera-direction hints (slow pan, dolly forward) for cleaner motion.
Free.ai grants commercial use of generated videos to you regardless of model. The model itself may be Apache 2.0, MIT, or a vendor-specific license — see the model reference link below.
Thinking Machines: Inkling is a premium video model. Cost scales with duration — typically ~5,000 tokens per second, shown live before you generate. Self-hosted video runs free on your 30,000-token daily pool; premium models are pay-as-you-go, with top-ups from $1.
