Question 1

What does MovieArchitect do?

Accepted Answer

MovieArchitect converts any written text into a full AI-generated movie. Users paste a story, Grok analyzes it into a screenplay with characters and scenes, AI generates visuals for each scene, and FFmpeg assembles the final film.

Question 2

What AI models does it use?

Accepted Answer

Grok models from xAI — grok-4.20 for text analysis, grok-imagine-image-pro for image generation, and the grok-video family for scene video generation.

Question 3

How long are the generated videos?

Accepted Answer

Individual scenes can be 4–15 seconds. A typical movie is 1–5 minutes depending on the input text length and scene count choices.

Question 4

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every new account includes 1 minute of generation free before subscribing.

Question 5

Can I upload my own footage?

Accepted Answer

The web app generates everything with AI. The separate desktop app moviearchitect_studio handles user-imported footage with the same Grok-powered analysis pipeline.

Question 6

Who is the parent company?

Accepted Answer

VidSeeds (vidseeds.ai). MovieArchitect shares a PostgreSQL database and user identity with VidSeeds but has separate Stripe billing.
