How does an assistant check the price before it makes a short?

1. Ask for a short on a topic, with a length if you want one, from 15 to 90 seconds.
2. The assistant asks ViewGum for a quote. A quote charges nothing and says how many credits the short costs.
3. The assistant tells you the price and waits for your yes. ViewGum marks its paid tools as needing your confirmation.
4. ViewGum makes the short and charges exactly the quote. A range quote holds its top and charges what the short took. If the price moved since the quote, nothing is charged and the assistant asks for a new one.
5. The assistant follows the short while ViewGum makes it, then gives you a link to open it.
6. For the video file, it prices the export, asks again, and gives you the download link with a title, caption and hashtags for each app.

How many credits does a short cost from an assistant?

A faceless short, made and exported, is about 378 credits at 15 seconds. Each short is priced from its look and length, and the assistant shows the price before anything is charged: an exact price, or a range whose top is held and whose charge settles to what the short took. Getting a price, making, editing and exporting from a chat need a paid ViewGum plan; looking at your credits and shorts does not. The Creator plan is $49 a month for 4,500 credits; pricing lists every plan and what each action costs. Each new connection starts with a daily credit cap of 2,000 credits, about three shorts, which you can change in ViewGum under Settings, Connected apps.

What can't an assistant do with ViewGum?

• From a chat, ViewGum makes faceless shorts from a topic, in a Stickman look, or in one of these formats: Explainer, 3D Build, Flat world or Object Lesson.
• Editing your own footage from a chat is not open yet, and files dropped into the chat do not reach ViewGum.
• ViewGum makes vertical 9:16 video only. It does not export horizontal or square video.
• It does not post for you. You get the MP4 and the post copy, then post the short yourself.

Can you make the same short without an assistant?
