Questions

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know before you make your first trailer.

What is Movie42?+
Movie42 is an AI film lab. It turns a book, a manuscript, an original idea, or a brand into a fully cinematic trailer — directed, scored, and edited automatically. No filmmaking experience required.
What can I turn into a trailer?+
Five ways to begin: a public-domain book from the Project Gutenberg library, your own manuscript (upload a PDF or paste text), an original story idea, a brand or business pitch, or anything else you can describe in a prompt.
How long does it take?+
Most trailers take about 10 to 15 minutes to render. You choose the length, and the AI scales the number of scenes to match.
Can I change the trailer before it's made?+
Yes. Before anything renders, you can review the drafted scenes in the script editor — edit shot prompts, re-roll individual scenes, tweak the music brief, and add or remove sound-effect cues. Nothing is final until you confirm.
How much does it cost?+
Creating a video requires payment — there's no free render. Your entry price starts at $7.99, and full pricing for every length is shown in the studio.
Can I pause or cancel my subscription?+
Yes. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard or settings — no phone calls, no waiting. Pausing keeps your tokens so you can pick up later; cancelling stops future renewals. Please note that payments already made are non-refundable.
Who owns the videos, and what about copyright?+
Every trailer is an original, AI-generated work that you're free to share. Movie42 does not reproduce, distribute, or display copyrighted material — outputs draw on general ideas and themes from publicly known sources, without copying protected expression.
