Faceless Shorts and TikToks, paid per clip
A faceless channel needs many short vertical clips a week. Seedance 2.0 Mini keeps the price per clip low for volume, Veo 3.1 Lite adds narration and sound, and the same models run from n8n so a workflow can turn a script into the clips. You pay per clip, never a monthly seat.
$0.50 of free credit when you verify your email. Clips from $0.15, top-ups from $5, and top-up credit never expires.

Prompts that work
Each opens the studio with the prompt and the model ready. Change it, see the price, generate.
A story-channel hook
Vertical 9:16 cinematic hook: an abandoned lighthouse on a cliff at night, a single window lights up by itself, waves crash below, slow push-in, eerie atmosphere, 6 seconds.
A narrated fact clip
Vertical 9:16: a slow pan across a medieval library lit by candles, dust in the light beams; a calm male narrator says, "This library hid a secret for four hundred years." 8 seconds.
A motivational b-roll beat
Vertical 9:16: a runner climbs the last steps of a stadium staircase at sunrise, breath visible in the cold air, camera follows from behind, golden light, 5 seconds.
How to get good results
- Ask for 9:16 in every prompt; vertical framing is set at generation, not by cropping later.
- Hook in the first second: start the clip on the most striking image, not on a slow establishing shot.
- Batch it: the n8n node and the API run the same models, so one workflow can make every clip for a week of videos.
- Keep a recurring character or narrator voice the same with a reference image and the same description each time.

Questions
Can I automate a faceless channel?
Yes. GenMagic's verified n8n node, Make, Zapier and the API run every video model on one balance, so a workflow can write a script, make the clips and hand them to your editor or uploader.
What does a week of Shorts cost?
Multiply the clips: the table on this page shows today's price for a typical clip on each model. Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p is among the lowest per second for drafts and volume.
Do the clips have a watermark?
No visible watermark is added. Some makers embed an invisible one (Google's SynthID on Veo), which does not show in the video.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You top up a balance and pay per clip; top-up credit never expires.
