Percify Realtime turns a prompt into a 5, 10 or 15 second video and returns it in seconds. You can describe several shots in one prompt (“Shot 1: … Shot 2: hard cut to …”) and it cuts between them, or add a start frame to animate a photo. It costs 4 credits a second at 480p and 6 at 768p, so a 5 second clip starts at 20 credits.

Percify Realtime Video.

What you need

  • A computer. Realtime runs in the desktop web app at app.percify.io/home/realtime, from the Realtime Video tile on the Explore page.
  • A prompt. Optionally a photo to start from, and a second photo to end on.
  • At least 20 credits.

How to make a multi-shot video

1

Write the prompt

On the Create tab, describe the shot. For several shots, number them: “Shot 1: wide of a skincare bottle on a marble counter at dawn. Shot 2: hard cut to macro of the dropper releasing one drop.” Click a Try suggestion such as Three shots, one cut to load an example.
2

Add frames (optional)

Click Start frame (Animate a photo) to begin from an image. The prompt then asks you to describe the movement. Once a start frame is in, End frame (Optional, morphs between) unlocks, and the video travels from the first image to the second.
3

Pick the settings

Choose Length (5s, 10s or 15s) and Quality (480p, fastest, or 768p, sharper). Without a start frame, also choose Frame: 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 or 9:16. With a start frame, the image decides the shape.
4

Generate

Click Generate (the button shows the credits), or press Cmd or Ctrl plus Enter. A timer runs on the stage, and the finished video shows how long it took. Your prompt stays in the box so you can change one thing and run again.

How much does it cost?

The price is the same with or without a start or end frame. If a run fails, you see “That one failed. Your credits were refunded.” with a Try again button. See how credits work.

Tips

  • Write each shot as its own sentence and say how it cuts (“hard cut to”), as in the Three shots, one cut example.
  • Iterate on 480p at 5 seconds, then render the keeper at 768p and the length you need.
  • With a start frame, describe what moves and where the camera goes, not what the scene looks like.
  • The History tab keeps everything you generate here, and the Examples wall shows real generations with the prompt that made each one.
Not in Realtime. For 30 second and 1 minute videos, use the chat on the Home page, which builds them from several parts. See Make a 30 to 60 second video.
Yes. The API tab shows a ready-made request for the same models, and they are also available through the Percify MCP server. API access is on the Scale and Ultra plans. See the API introduction and MCP.
