Scholarly reads the source and selects the visual style and animation approach that fits it — kinetic type, whiteboard, a clean diagram sequence, or a blend — then renders a narrated, chaptered video with transcript, captions, checkpoints, AI chat, and flashcards in about 10 to 25 minutes. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit at 720p with a roughly 2-minute length; paid plans add 1080p, watermark removal, MP4 download, and a target length up to 45 minutes.","why1":"A glossary of legal terms, a four-stage manufacturing process, and a chapter on cognitive biases are not the same kind of material, and a single fixed visual treatment serves at most one of them well. Freestyle starts from the content and works outward to the look, rather than the other way around.","why2":"That freedom applies to style only. Every Freestyle lecture still follows one coherent, linear teaching arc: it sets up the topic, builds the ideas in order, and closes with what you should now be able to do. The narration is grounded in your source, so what it says matches what your notes say.","why3":"If a lecture does not land the way you hoped, switching modes and regenerating is often a bigger improvement than rewording the prompt. Freestyle is the natural place to try when the named modes have not fit — and because the same study tools come with every mode, nothing is lost by experimenting.","workTitle":"For work and teams","workPara":"Product explainers, internal training, and process walkthroughs rarely fit one house style — a pricing change, a new support workflow, and a security refresher each want a different treatment.

After reading your source, the AI chooses between treatments such as kinetic type, a whiteboard, a clean diagram sequence, or a blend of them, and builds the lesson around that choice. The structure of the lesson — one clear linear teaching arc — stays the same.","faq1Question":"How is Freestyle different from Standard?","faq1Answer":"Standard is the default polished, editorial lesson that picks a visual treatment concept by concept within an established look. Freestyle drops the fixed look entirely and lets the AI decide the overall style for your specific material. Pick Standard when you want a reliable all-rounder; pick Freestyle when none of the named modes feels right.","faq2Question":"Can I tell it which style to use?","faq2Answer":"Freestyle is designed to choose for you based on the source. If you already know you want a specific treatment, a named mode is the better fit: Illustrated for hand-drawn storytelling, Short for a vertical short video format, or Manim Math Animation for precise animated derivations. Every mode is available on every plan.","faq3Question":"What can I upload?","faq3Answer":"Up to 10 PDFs (20 on Laureate) — slide decks, reports, chapters, handouts — or notes and files already in your Scholarly library. On the Free plan, a single upload is limited to 8 MB, and PDFs are processed up to 32 pages.","faq4Question":"Is it free?","faq4Answer":"Yes to start. The Free plan includes one lifetime AI Creation Credit at 720p with a roughly 2-minute length. Premium ($30/mo or $144/yr) includes 15 AI Creation Credits per week; Laureate ($99/mo) includes 80 per week. Paid plans add 1080p, watermark removal, MP4 download, and a target length up to 45 minutes.","faq5Question":"How long does it take?","faq5Answer":"Usually about 10 to 25 minutes, depending on the length of the source. The video lands in your library when it is ready, with chapters, transcript, captions, checkpoints, AI chat, and flashcards generated alongside it.","relatedLinksHeading":"More ways to turn your source into video","eyebrowPricing":"Pricing","ctaTitleHighlight":"Start free,","ctaTitleSuffix":"upgrade when you need more","ctaSubtitle":"Create adaptive explainer videos and every other study tool from your own material.
