Stock vs Custom mode

Choose how your video is generated: using stock assets or fully custom visuals and audio.

Stock mode

Uses pre-generated mages, video clips, and standard voices.

  • No custom visuals are generated

  • Faster and more lightweight

  • Videos under 30 seconds can be created with no credits


Custom mode

Generates new visuals, styles, characters, or voices.

  • Best for product ads, characters, or consistent visuals

  • More control over how your video looks

  • Uses credits based on what’s included in your video


How to use Stock mode

  1. Generate your script in the prompt box

  2. Once your script is generated, find the Stock / Custom toggle, and select Stock

  3. Make sure you're not using any premium or custom features

  4. Generate your video

If your video stays under 30 seconds and only uses stock assets, no credits will be deducted. If you exceed 30 seconds or use any custom or premium features, credits are needed.

Hypernatural will automatically use stock visuals and standard voices.

When credits are used

Stock videos only remain free if:

  • The video is under 30 seconds

  • You’re only using stock assets and standard voices

  • Your video exceeds 30 seconds

  • You use any custom or premium features


Not supported in Stock mode
