Quick Animations vs Creative Mode — Difference explained

Amplifiles now offers two ways to create clips for real estate photos: Quick Animations and Creative Mode. Both use the same underlying engine; they differ in flexibility and pricing.

Written by Tommi


Quick Animations (the basic version)

  • Curated camera motions optimized for property photos

  • Always 5 seconds available clip

  • Fixed pricing: $1.50 per image (150 credits)

  • One free re-animation per images (10 if you have active subsription)

  • Fastest possible workflow

When to use Quick Animations: When you need a polished video fast, the photos are already strong, and 5-second clips fit your style.


Creative Mode

  • Free-form AI prompting + ready-made effects

  • Virtual staging, added people and elements

  • Customs Start–end frames, speed ramps, close-ups

  • Custom clip length (you choose)

  • Per-second pricing: 30 credits per second ($0.30 per second)

When to use Creative Mode: When you need staging, lifestyle additions, cinematic pacing, custom clip lengths, or specific creative direction.

Both modes are available in every account. Switch between them per image.


Cost comparison

Creative Mode uses transparent per-second pricing.The rate: 30 credits per second of animation. That's $0.30 per second.

You can use both quick animations and creative mode clips in the same video. We actually suggest mixing both, because visual effects like speed ramps or humans add value to basic clips.

A few things to know:

  • A 5-second Creative Mode clip costs the same as one Quick Animation ($1.50)

  • You can mix lengths in the same video — make hero shots longer, transitions shorter

  • Regenerating a clip uses credits again (same per-second rate as the original)

  • One free re-animations per image don't apply to Creative Mode.

  • Start–end clips are priced by their final length, just like other clips
