# ViewMax Studio > ViewMax Studio (viewmaxstudio.net) is an AI video generator for short-form video: YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Reels. Describe a shot and a model renders it, or give ViewMax Agent 2.0 a brief and it plans its own shot list, cuts between shots and adds narration and music in one pass. New accounts get 100 free credits, no card required. Paid use starts at $39 a month (Basic), $19.50 a month billed yearly, or $29 for a one-time credit pack. Every clip shows its credit cost before it renders, and no video carries a watermark. ## Which ViewMax this is Three unrelated products use the ViewMax name.
