How Do I Create My First AI Generation on Clipia.ai?

Clipia.ai is an AI-powered platform for generating videos and images. Over 20 state-of-the-art models are available here: from photorealistic images to cinematic video clips. In this guide we'll walk through how to create your first generation on Clipia.ai in 2 minutes.

Step 1: Sign Up and Claim Welcome Credits

Go to the generation page and click "Sign in". Three sign-up methods are available:

Google — one click, account created instantly

Yandex — same deal, no extra steps

Email — enter your username, email, and password, then confirm your email with a 6-digit code

On registration you get 5 welcome credits. That's enough to try an image generation or a short video right now.

Email Confirmation

If you signed up via email: the code arrives within a minute. Enter the 6 digits — account ready. Without confirmation, credits won't be activated.

Step 2: Pick Your Generation Type

Two sections in the main menu:

Create Video — generate a video clip from text (T2V) or from an image (I2V)

Create Image — generate an image from text (T2I) or edit an existing one (I2I)

For your first run we recommend starting with images — they generate faster and cost fewer credits. Want to jump straight into video? That works too, just budget a bit more waiting time.

Step 3: Choose a Model

On the generation page click the button with the current model name — a catalog of all available options opens.

For Video

Kling 2.6 — the optimal starting point for beginners. A reliable model with a good balance of quality and speed. Cost: 20–40 credits depending on duration. Supports both text prompts and uploading a starting frame.

For Images

FLUX 2 Pro — a fast and accurate model for generating photorealistic images. Cost from 3 credits. Great detail, works with any style — from realistic portraits to concept art.

Every card in the catalog shows price, type (video/image), and sample results. Hover over a model to see examples.

Step 4: Write Your Prompt

A prompt is a text description of what you want to get. Enter it in the "Describe the scene" field.

A Simple Starting Example
:::prompt A young woman walking through an autumn park, golden leaves falling, soft cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field :::
This is a working prompt. It describes:

Subject — a young woman

Action — walking through the park

Environment — autumn, falling leaves

Style — cinematic lighting, blurred background

The "Enhance with AI" Button

Wrote a simple description in your native language? Hit "Enhance with AI" — the system will automatically add details and convert it to the right format. More than enough for your first generation.

Prompt Tips for Beginners

Write in English — most models are trained on English datasets, results are better

Specify style: cinematic, photorealistic, anime, oil painting

Add lighting: golden hour, studio light, neon lights

A short specific prompt beats a vague long one

Step 5: Tune Parameters

Generation parameters are below the prompt field. For the first run you can leave everything at default — the model is pre-configured optimally.

Main Parameters

Duration (for video) — typically 5, 8, or 10 seconds depending on the model. Start with 5

Aspect ratio — 16:9 for horizontal video, 9:16 for vertical (Reels/TikTok), 1:1 for square

Resolution — standard resolution works for a first generation

Quality — "Standard" mode is faster and cheaper, "Quality" gives more detailed results

Experimenting with parameters is for your second and third generation. First time: hit "Generate" with defaults.

Step 6: Launch the Generation

Click the "Generate" button. Next to it the exact cost in credits is displayed — you see the price before it's deducted.

How Long to Wait

Images: 10–30 seconds

Video: 1–5 minutes, depending on model and load

You can close the tab while generation runs — the result will be saved. When it's ready a notification arrives straight to your browser (if you allowed them), or you'll see the result in "My Works" next time you log in.

Generation Statuses

Queued — request accepted, waiting to start

Processing — generation in progress

Done — result available

Step 7: My Works — Where to Find Your Result

All generations are automatically saved in the "My Works" section. Find it in the main menu.

Click a work card — a full-screen preview opens with the prompt and metadata.

What You Can Do with a Result

Download in original format — images save as PNG or JPG lossless, videos as MP4

Copy the prompt — use it as a basis for your next generation

Use as reference — turn the result into a starting point for a new image or video

The "Use" Button — Main Iteration Tool

At the bottom of the preview there's a "Use" button. Clicking it opens a menu with two options:

Create Image — the image generator opens with your result as a reference

Create Video — the video generator opens with your image as the starting frame

What happens when you pick an option:

The result is loaded as a reference image

The original prompt fills the input field — you can edit it or keep it as is

The page switches to the Image-to-Image (I2I) or Image-to-Video (I2V) tab

This lets you iterate: generate an image, hit "Use" → tweak the prompt → get an improved version. Or take a good image and turn it into video with one click:

Works are stored in your account indefinitely. You can filter by type (video/image), date, and status.
