Question 1

What is the Animated Short template?

Accepted Answer

Describe a story. Flik designs the characters, storyboards the scenes, generates animation with Seedance 2, adds dialogue, and composes a score. In short: A full animated story with characters, dialogue, and score.

Question 2

Which AI model does the Animated Short template use?

Accepted Answer

The Animated Short template uses Seedance 2 by default. Inside Flik AI you can swap to any other supported video model — Kling 3.0 Pro, Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.0, Hailuo 2.3, Kling 2.6, Kling o3 Edit, or Kling o3 Ref — per shot; the prompt and references carry over.

Question 3

How do I use the Animated Short template in Flik AI?

Accepted Answer

Open it from the /templates gallery or the homepage template row. Flik AI prefills the starter prompt, model (Seedance 2), aspect ratio (9:16), and duration (15 seconds) — edit any of them, then hit Generate. In Agent mode you can also hand the template off with a one-line brief and let the agent extend it into a full project.

Question 4

Can I customize the Animated Short prompt and references?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The template ships with a starter prompt tuned for this format, but every field is editable before generation — prompt, model, aspect ratio, duration, reference images, and references (multi-modal refs on Seedance 2.0 support up to 9 images + 3 videos + 3 audio tracks).

Question 5

What aspect ratio and duration does the Animated Short template use?

Accepted Answer

The Animated Short template defaults to 9:16 at 15 seconds. Flik AI supports 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 4:5, 3:4, 2:3, and 9:16 — switch before generating to match your distribution platform (YouTube, TikTok, Reels, LinkedIn, broadcast, etc.).

Question 6

How much does it cost to generate a Animated Short video?

Accepted Answer

Opening a template is free. Generation costs apply per model: a typical AI video clip runs ~1,000 credits (~$10 at 10¢/credit). Pro ($25/month, 300 credits) fits individual creators; Business ($100/month, 1,500 credits) fits teams producing multiple clips per week.
