Same models. Most for less.
And we make the video.
A model call on fal gets you a clip. We get you the finished video. TurboClip runs the same frontier video models, most of them under fal’s list price, then does the rest. TurboClip Director turns one sentence into a hook, a voice and a shot-by-shot plan you change before a frame renders, and TurboClip Studio finishes it. Building an app? One request to our API or MCP returns the finished, captioned video. Pay as you go from $5, and top-ups never expire.
Watch it land. A finished, captioned video — then make every frame yours in Studio.

| When a job fails | The reserved credits come back in full | Server errors aren’t charged. Invalid inputs may be |

| API and MCP | REST with an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, plus MCP. Every account, plan or no plan | SDKs, a CLI and an MCP that runs their models |

TurboClip: 1 credit = 1¢, at each model's default settings (audio on, images at default quality). Others: public API list prices, read 16 Oct 2026; no sale or sign-up discounts. — = not offered at these settings.
Built to finish the job.
Your code gets the video, not a clip
One request to our API, or one ask from your agent over MCP, returns the deliverable: a narrated, captioned video with music, a UGC ad with its shot list to approve, a slideshow, or just the raw clip. Every flow has a free estimate, and a failed job refunds.
A director, not a slot machine
It reads your brief back, picks one of six opening hooks, decides who’s talking, and casts a narrator from 1,000+ voices you can hear before a word is recorded. Then you get a script and a scene-by-scene plan to change, or just let it run. Fix the idea before you spend on visuals.
Fix it by hand, by typing or out loud
Every video lands in TurboClip Studio, a real multi-track editor. Re-roll the one shot that missed, retime a beat, restyle the captions, add keyframes. Or just tell the Studio Agent, typed or spoken. Editing by hand and 1080p export are free.
From first idea to finished post
TurboClip Canvas, our flagship, turns one idea into a connected set of images, clips and music, and the Canvas Agent plans and builds it with you. Same account, same credits: narrated videos, music videos, AI ads, and slideshows that fill your TikTok schedule.
What a director actually does.
Your brief, read back.
Before a word is written.
The moment you hit Generate, most tools start guessing. The Director first tells you who it thinks this is for and what should land — its best read pre-selected, one tap to change, or put it in your own words.
- Who it’s for and what should land, reflected back first
- Its read pre-picked — confirm in a tap, or write your own
The first three seconds,
chosen on purpose.
Six opening moves — the Contrarian, the Insider, the Proven Winner and more — and the Director picks the one your brief calls for. It also decides who carries the audio: a narrator, people on screen, or nobody at all. Disagree? Swap either before a frame exists.
- Six hook archetypes, each a different opening move
- Narrator, in-scene dialogue, or no speech — set up front
Cast your narrator.
Don’t settle for a default.
1,000+ voices, from a late-night radio host to a grandmother made for bedtime stories. The Director casts one that fits your video. Want to audition your own? Search by accent, age or tone, and hear every sample before a word is recorded.
- Search by what it sounds like: “warm”, “British”, “storyteller”
- Hear any voice in a tap, and save the ones you’d cast again
It lands in Studio.
Every frame still yours.
The finished video opens in TurboClip Studio — scenes, voice, captions and music on one timeline. Retime a beat, restyle the captions, re-roll a scene, then export.
- Scenes, narration, captions and music on one timeline
- Re-roll a single scene without starting over



Your cat isn’t being rude.It’s testing gravity.That tap? Pure hunter.And you came running.

A model API hands you a clip. Ours hands you the deliverable: a narrated, captioned video with music, a UGC ad, a slideshow, or just the raw clip when that’s all you want. The cost is quoted before you spend, and failed jobs refund.
A presenter-led product ad — shot list, native lip-synced dialogue, your product in every shot, music under the cut. No shoot, no editor: two calls to a finished ad.
