Questions on Surf Studio

Is it free?: Yes. Studio charges nothing for an account or a film. The AI you connect bills you the way it always does.
Does it use image or video generators?: No. Every picture is drawn by code that the director writes, and rendered frame by frame. The narration is read by a speech model.
Which AI writes the film?: The one you connect: Claude through Claude Code or an Anthropic key, or OpenAI models through Codex or an OpenAI key.
Who owns the film?: You do. Download it, share it, use it.
Can I start from my own footage or a link?: Yes. Add footage, a link, or the sign-in details of a site the film should show, with or without words.
Why does it take so long?: The director writes the story, the drawing code and the motion, then the kit renders and checks every frame. A 30 second film takes about 35 to 55 minutes today.
What does Studio keep?: Your account, your films and what you gave each film. See the Privacy Policy.
Who makes Studio?: Surf Platforms, which also makes Surf and Helio. See About.
