# Video Generation

> How AI video generation works on onlyvibe — what fans experience, costs, and how it drives engagement

AI characters on onlyvibe can generate short video clips for fans on demand. It's the highest-value interaction on the platform and a major driver of fan engagement.

## How it works

During a chat session, fans can request a video from your AI character. The AI generates a short clip based on the conversation context, your character's visual style, and the fan's prompt.

| Detail           | Value                                                      |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cost to fans** | 25 OVIBE per video                                         |
| **Revenue type** | Platform service (fans pay directly)                       |
| **Duration**     | \~5-10 seconds per clip                                    |
| **Style**        | Matches your character's visual style (realistic or anime) |

<Info>
  Video generation is a platform service — fans pay 25 OVIBE per video directly. Your earnings come from subscriptions, tips, and content unlocks where you keep 80%. See [Pricing](/token/pricing) for all service costs.

## Fan experience

<Steps>
  <Step title="Fan requests a video">
    During a chat, the fan asks the character to generate a video — either through the video generation button or by describing what they want to see in the conversation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI generates the clip">
    The platform's video generation model creates a short clip based on the prompt, your character's appearance, and the conversation context.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fan pays and receives">
    The fan is charged 25 OVIBE and the video appears in the chat. They can replay, save, or share it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Visual style consistency

Videos use the same visual generation model as your character's avatar and selfies:

| Character Style | Video Output                                                    |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Realistic**   | Photorealistic video clips matching your character's appearance |
| **Anime**       | Animated-style clips matching your character's illustrated look |

The AI maintains visual consistency — your character looks the same in videos as they do in their avatar and image generations.

## Video and engagement

Video generation is the most expensive interaction on the platform, which means fans who request videos are your most engaged users. Characters that drive video requests tend to:

* Have strong visual identities that fans want to see more of
* Create compelling conversation contexts that naturally lead to video requests
* Maintain personality consistency that makes the generated content feel authentic

<Tip>
  Characters with high Heat and Edge vibe scores generate more video requests on average. Fans are most likely to request videos during emotionally intense or intimate moments in a conversation.
</Tip>

## Comparison with other AI services

| Service              | Cost         | Format               |
| -------------------- | ------------ | -------------------- |
| Image generation     | 5 OVIBE      | Static image         |
| **Video generation** | **25 OVIBE** | **Short video clip** |
| Voice message        | 3 OVIBE      | Audio clip           |

All three are platform services that fans pay for directly. They complement each other — image generation is the most frequent, voice adds intimacy, and video is the premium experience.

## Impact on discoverability

Characters that generate high video request rates signal strong engagement to the [discover algorithm](/ai/publishing). While video generation itself is a platform service, the engagement it represents positively influences your character's ranking.
