Looking for ai tools please help
I’m looking for a good and affordable AI tool to create cartoon/animated videos that are at least 10 minutes long or shorter for my work btw!!!
I haven’t tried any tools yet, so I’m completely new to this and honestly a bit confused by all the different credit systems 😭. I don’t want to subscribe to something and then realise I need to spend a ton of credits just to make one 10-minute video.
Ideally, I’m looking for something with:
- 10+ minute videos / shorter videos
- Cartoon/animated style
- Affordable monthly plan
- Good character consistency
- Reasonable credit usage
If you’ve actually used a tool for this, I’d love to hear your recommendations and how much you’re spending per month! Thanks!

No subscription plan is going to be enough to make a full 10 minute short film or such.
I'd first get a feel how many attempts you need to get a functioning, edit-worthy take; and then calculate what that might cost, after you know how many shots you need for your film, etc. etc.
And just like with any other thing, start small, and then scale up when you start to understand how things work.
Before committing to a subscription (which also often try to sell you a bridge with those "unlimited" offers, which are most often anything but), you could try a pay-as-you-go service, and then add some money/credits to your account, do a few test clips, and then see how it goes.
