8. FAQ

Q: How long does video generation take?
A: Generation time depends on the video duration, resolution, and other parameters. You can continue using other features while waiting. The status will update automatically once generation is complete.

Q: Why does it say "1080p not supported"?
A: 1080p resolution is not supported when using reference images. The system will automatically downgrade to 720p. Pure text-to-video generation is not affected by this limitation.

Q: What should I do if video generation fails?
A: Check the failure reason on the "My Videos" page (click "Details" to view the error message). Modify your prompt or parameters and try again.

Q: How long are shared video links valid?
A: Share links are permanent. Anyone can view the video through the link without logging in.

Q: How do I get an API Key?
A: Visit the API Key page and follow the instructions to apply. Once obtained, configure it in "Profile" or on the creation page.

Q: What aspect ratios are supported?
A: 16:9 (landscape), 4:3 (traditional), 1:1 (square), 3:4 (portrait), 9:16 (mobile portrait), 21:9 (ultrawide), and "Smart Ratio" where AI selects automatically.

Q: Can I generate multiple videos at the same time?
A: Yes. After submitting one generation task, you can immediately describe and submit another video. The system queues tasks and processes them sequentially.
