This walks you through your first StirVid video, end to end.

​
Prerequisites

  • A StirVid account
  • An active plan or free monthly credits
  • A source video (upload or a public URL)

​
Get started

1

Sign in

Sign in at stirvid.com. Your monthly credits appear in the header.
2

Upload or paste a video

Upload a clip from disk or paste a public video URL. StirVid extracts frames and analyzes motion server-side.
3

Choose a character

Pick a character from the catalog. Only public, platform-ready characters are selectable for video swap. You can preview each character before selecting.
4

Configure motion control

Set the generation mode and sound:
  • Mode: std (fast, lower cost) or pro (higher quality)
  • Sound: retain original audio or generate silent output
5

Generate

Click Generate. StirVid quotes the cost, deducts credits atomically server-side, and enqueues a job.
Credits are deducted server-side as the CREDITS virtual currency. If your balance is insufficient, the job is refused before any generation runs.
6

Poll status

The UI polls job status. You can also call GET /v1/projects/{id}/jobs directly, or use the MCP tool generation_status.
7

Download

When the job finishes, the rendered MP4 is available for download and archived to storage.
