Before you begin, I want to remind everyone that the Pika app version currently only provides 170 points per month, and using the Turbo model to generate videos with different effects costs different amounts of points. You might want to calculate beforehand so you don’t use up all your points at once.
- Text/Image to video generation costs 5 credits
- Pikascenes costs 10 points.
- Pikadditions costs 10 points
- Pikaffects costs 15 points.
- 1.0 Generation costs 15 points
Now that we understand the points required to generate videos, we can officially start using the Pika app. The main screen of the Pika app is shown below. Clicking “+ Create” lets you choose the Pika features you want to use, such as the ones we introduced earlier. Pikaffects、Pikadditions or perhaps the most basicText/image to video generationFunction.
The Pika app is very easy to use. For example, the Pikaffects feature basically just involves uploading an image, selecting the Pikaffects effect you want, and then clicking Generate—Pika will create the video for you. There’s no need to enter extra prompts, making it perfect for anyone who wants to try out video generation.
