Krea Video

Krea Video generates clips from text prompts or images, including uploaded or generated start frames. Users can set first and last frames to guide a shot’s beginning and resolution, then extend or merge clips to create longer scenes. Supported video models can generate synchronized audio, including dialogue, ambient noise, and contextual sound effects. Krea lists models such as Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Sora 2, Wan 2.6, Runway Gen-4.5, and MiniMax H3. Model access depends on the plan: Basic includes selected models, while Pro provides access to over 20 video models. The Free plan offers 100 units per day but has video concurrency of zero. Paid plans start at $5 a month as listed for Basic, with 5,000 units per month and concurrency of two; the plan information also shows $9 alongside that price. Krea offers a REST API for text-to-video and image-to-video workflows, integrations for After Effects and ChatGPT, and an iOS app that syncs projects between iPhone, iPad, and web. Commercial use is limited. Krea says it is SOC 2 compliant.

Krea Video offers prompt- and image-based clip generation, frame controls, and supported audio generation. The free plan cannot run video generation concurrently, and commercial use is limited.

It suits creators working on film and storytelling, marketing, content creation, or product and ecommerce video. It may also suit users who want prompt- or image-based clip generation with frame controls and synchronized audio.

Overview

Krea Video is a clip-generation tool for people shaping short video from prompts or visual references. It suits creators who want model choice and control over a shot’s opening and ending; its main trade-offs are a free plan that cannot generate video and limited commercial use.

Its appeal is a workflow that spans generation, clip extension and merging, and—on supported models—synchronized audio. That breadth makes it useful for developing scenes and campaign material, but plan limits on model access and concurrency matter if video production is regular work.

Key features

Generate clips from text prompts or images, including uploaded or generated start frames. Users can set first and last frames to guide how a shot begins, moves and resolves, offering more direction than a prompt alone. Clip extension and merging help build longer scenes from generated material, though Krea’s stated editing capabilities are focused on those operations.

Supported video models can generate synchronized dialogue, ambient noise and contextual sound effects. This can make a generated clip more complete without a separate audio-generation step, but support depends on the chosen model. The named options include Seedance 2.5, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Sora 2, Wan 2.6, Runway Gen-4.5 and MiniMax H3. Basic gets selected models; Pro and Max include all video models.

A REST API supports text-to-video and image-to-video workflows, making Krea relevant to teams connecting generation to other software. It also offers After Effects and ChatGPT integrations; the After Effects plugin works on macOS and Windows. The iOS app supports image and video workflows, with projects syncing among iPhone, iPad and web. Krea says it is SOC 2 compliant, with its full report available through its Trust Center under NDA.

Pricing

Krea is freemium. The Free plan costs nothing, includes 100 units per day, requires no credit card and has video concurrency of 0. That last limit means it cannot run video generation concurrently, so it is better suited to trying the broader workflow than to ongoing video production.

Basic costs $5 a month, with $9 shown alongside the price. It includes 5,000 units per month, 20 Seedance 2.0 videos, selected video models and concurrency of two. It is the lower-cost paid step for modest volume, but gives up access to all video models and has less capacity than higher tiers.

Pro costs $21 a month, with $35 shown alongside the price. It provides 20,000 units per month, 83 Seedance 2.0 videos, all video models and concurrency of four. This is the more suitable choice for creators who need the full model selection and expect to run several generations at once. Krea’s feature page describes Pro as providing access to over 20 video models.

Max costs $63 a month, with $105 shown alongside the price. Its 60,000 monthly units, 250 Seedance 2.0 videos, all video models and concurrency of eight suit heavier individual workflows that would outgrow Pro’s stated allowance.

Business costs $160 a month, with $200 shown alongside the price. It includes 80k monthly units, up to 50 seats, unlimited video concurrency and priority support with an SLA, making it the team-oriented tier. Business terms include data protection and no-training clauses for customer content. Enterprise has custom pricing and includes priority support with an SLA, custom compute packages, audit logs and Slack Connect. Commercial use is limited, so teams should not assume every plan grants unrestricted commercial rights.

Platforms

Krea Video is available on web, iOS and through an API. The iOS app’s project sync across iPhone, iPad and web supports moving between mobile and browser workflows. The After Effects plugin is available for macOS and Windows; those desktop platforms should not be confused with Krea Video’s listed app platforms.

Who it's for

Krea positions its video workflows for film and storytelling, marketing and advertising, content creation, and product and ecommerce work. It is a stronger fit for creators and teams who want to direct a clip with reference frames, assemble longer scenes, or connect generation to an API. The free tier’s zero video concurrency and the stated limit on commercial use make it a weaker choice for production that needs dependable parallel generation or clearly broad usage rights.

Pros and cons

• Pros: First- and last-frame controls provide a way to guide a clip’s visual progression, while extension and merging support longer scenes.
• Pros: The paid tiers scale from selected models to all video models, with stated concurrency rising from two on Basic to eight on Max.
• Pros: API workflows, mobile-to-web project sync and creative integrations give teams several ways to fit Krea into existing work.
• Cons: Free includes no video concurrency, so it cannot handle video generation in parallel.
• Cons: Basic offers selected models rather than the full set, and commercial use is limited.
• Cons: The monthly unit allowances and Seedance 2.0 video counts require buyers to match a tier to their expected volume.

Verdict

Choose Krea Video if you want prompt- or image-based clip generation with frame controls, extension and merging, and a path from solo use to API-connected teams. Its strongest reason to choose it is the combination of shot direction and model options; its clearest reasons to look elsewhere are the free plan’s inability to run video concurrently and limited commercial use.
