EN There is no welcome gift here, and it is worth being straight about that up front. What there is instead is a single bonus for joining the ideas channel, and unlike most such offers it is sized so that it actually buys something.
What it is worth
Exactly one clip: the cheapest model, at its shortest length, at its lowest resolution. That is the whole design rule, and it is enforced in code rather than written down and hoped for. The bot works the number out from the live price list every time, so if a rate changes the bonus changes with it.
The reason it is built that way is that the earlier version was not. It handed out a flat number of credits chosen for an image product, and against video rates that bought nothing at all, which is worse than offering nothing: it invites someone to try and then stops them halfway.
How to claim it
Join the ideas channel, then tap the claim button in the bot. The credits land on your balance immediately. No card, no form, no email. If you have not used the bot before, the step-by-step guide walks through a first clip.
The channel is shared with our image bot, so it carries prompts and results for both. That is also where new models get announced first.
What to spend it on
The whole point is a real, finished clip, so spend it on one rather than trying to stretch it. Write a description you actually want to see, animate a photo you already have, and let the result tell you whether this is useful to you. That decision is much easier to make from a finished clip than from a half-rendered draft.
After that
Credit packs start small deliberately. The smallest is around five short clips on the entry model, which is enough to learn what the models do without committing to anything. The pricing page has every pack and every rate. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and there is no subscription to cancel.
