Dola AI video generator FAQ
Answers about free credits, account access, and your creative workflow.
What is Dola AI?
Dola AI is an online AI video generator for creating short clips from text prompts or reference images. Describe the subject, movement, and camera direction, then choose a supported video model. Image generation and photo editing help you prepare visual concepts in the same studio. 120 sign-up credits plus daily check-in rewards of 60–120 credits. Each generation uses the credits shown before you submit.
Should I use text to video or image to video?
Use text to video when you want to invent a scene from words. Use image to video when you already have a product photo, character, or composition to animate. If you need a starting frame, create it in the image generator first and use a video model that accepts image references.
What video duration and resolution can I choose?
Duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and audio support depend on the selected model. Choose your model first, then use the options and credit quote actually displayed in the editor.
How long does AI video generation take?
Generation time varies by model, provider demand, and settings. Follow the task status in the editor. When the clip completes, play it and check the motion, subject consistency, and details before downloading or publishing.
Is Dola AI free to use?
120 sign-up credits plus daily check-in rewards of 60–120 credits. Check-in rewards follow your consecutive-day streak and can be claimed once per UTC day. Generations use credits; free credits do not mean unlimited generation.
Do I need an account to generate?
You can browse examples, write a prompt, and choose settings before signing in. Generation and reference uploads require a signed-in account. Signing in does not automatically submit your draft.
How many credits does a generation cost?
The cost depends on the model, resolution, quality, video duration, and result count. The Generate button shows the total for your selected batch. Check that quote before submitting; claim an available check-in reward or review pricing if your balance is too low.
Where can I find and download my results?
Completed work appears in the result panel and your signed-in generation history. Preview an image or play a video, then download the result you want to keep.
Can I use generated media in commercial projects?
Review our terms and the selected model’s usage rules before publication. Use reference images and other assets you have permission to use; a successful generation does not establish rights for every use.
