Is 480p enough for YouTube Shorts creators?
For faceless YouTube creators — not student notes. Yes for Shorts tests. Upgrade to 720p for longs and brand deals. Cost math for both.
TL;DR for creators: script one educational videos idea (300–500 words), generate narration in English first, lock 2D diagrams to the voice timeline, publish with commercial rights. From ₹162 ($1.68, 27 credits), 24–48h async delivery, capped queue.

Key takeaways
- Built for creators publishing educational videos on YouTube, not for students cramming notes.
- Script once in English, publish in English + 600+ languages from the same project.
- Audio-first sync keeps narration and diagrams locked — no keyframe drift.
- Pay per finished video in credits (1 credit = Rs 6) — e.g. 5-min 720p ≈ 75 credits ≈ Rs 450.
Creator workflow for educational videos in English
- Script (30 min): one idea per video, hook in first 15s with a curiosity gap, not a definition. Students search definitions — creators hook wonder.
- Voice first: generate English narration, use durations as animation timing ground truth.
- Diagrams: one visual change every 3–5s for longs, every 2s for Shorts. Clean 2D schemas beat heavy 3D for retention.
- Publish + repurpose: upload 4–8 min long, cut 2 Shorts from same timeline, then re-voice to Hindi/English/Spanish without re-animating.
Pricing + rights checklist before you order
- Start with 480p pilot to test voice + style, upgrade to 720p for weekly longs.
- Keep Razorpay receipt — you need it for monetization disputes.
- One revision = fact/voice/label fix. Topic change = new video.
- Queue capped — if traveling, page shows pause, no payment taken.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a 5-minute video cost?
Credits math: 1 credit = Rs 6, 15 credits/min base at 720p. A 5-min 720p = ceil(5x15x1.0) = 75 credits = Rs 450 (~$5.32). A 2-min 480p pilot = 27 credits = Rs 162 (~$1.92). 5-min 1080p (1.3x) = 98 credits = Rs 588. +3 credits per extra image, 10 credits per edit. See /pricing for live packs — credits roll over.
Can I monetize Imagnica videos on YouTube?
Yes. You get full commercial rights to publish on YouTube, Shorts, and socials. Videos use royalty-free visuals and cleared voices, so they pass standard YouTube monetization review when paired with original scripting and commentary.
How long is delivery?
Typical delivery is 24–48 hours async. Queue is capped at 3 orders per day because rendering is currently supervised manually to keep quality high. If the founder is traveling, the generate page shows a pause notice instead of taking payment.
