Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about VideoBud
Billing
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard. Your plan stays active until the end of the current billing period, then drops to the free tier with no further charges.
Comparison
Screen recorders capture what you click; VideoBud writes and shoots the video for you. No script-writing, no recording your own voice, no manual editing. And because the AI re-walks your app on a monthly schedule (Pro+ tier), it catches when your UI changes and re-shoots affected videos — so your tutorials never go out of date.
Getting started
You point VideoBud at your SaaS application and tell us what kind of video you need — promo, how-to, onboarding, feature launch, etc. Our AI agent walks your app in a real browser, captures every screen, writes a script from what it actually saw, and produces a finished video with voiceover, zoom edits, music, and intro/outro. You approve the storyboard before we render the final.
How it works
You approve a storyboard before any final rendering. Each scene shows a thumbnail, the planned voiceover, and the zoom target. You can edit any voiceover line inline or click 'Re-shoot this step' to have the agent re-walk that single piece of the flow. Final render only happens after you approve.
Output
Web (16:9 1920×1080), Reels/Shorts/TikTok (9:16 1080×1920), Instagram feed (1:1 1080×1080), Instagram Reels feed (4:5 1080×1350), and animated GIF for email embeds. Every format is re-composed, not just letterboxed — vertical formats get their own crop pass so the framing actually works.
Pricing
1 credit = 1 minute of final rendered video. A 30-second video uses 0.5 credits, a 90-second video uses 1.5. Storyboard previews are unlimited and free — credits only get spent when you approve a final render.
Security
Only if you want VideoBud to walk authenticated flows like dashboards or settings pages. Credentials live in memory only for the duration of one discovery run and are wiped afterward — never written to disk in plaintext. For promo videos that only cover public marketing pages, no credentials are needed.
Voice
On Pro plans and above, yes — clone your own voice once and use it across every video. On lower tiers, pick from our library of AI voices tagged by category (calm-explainer for security tools, peppy for consumer apps, etc.).
