How to Use Tokens in FluidFlow to Create Videos

FluidFlow's token system gives you precise, flexible control over how many videos and clips you create — you only pay for what you generate. Understanding how tokens work is the key to getting the most value out of the app, whether you're making a single highlight reel or producing content regularly. Here's everything you need to know about buying, using, and making the most of your FluidFlow tokens.

1. Understand the Token System

   In FluidFlow, one token generates one transition clip — the AI-animated segment that connects two of your photos. A complete video is assembled from multiple transition clips, so the total number of tokens you need depends directly on how many photos you include. For example, a video built from 5 photos would require 4 transition clips, consuming 4 tokens. This per-clip model means you have full transparency over costs before you commit to generating anything.

2. Purchase Tokens

   Tokens are available for purchase directly within the FluidFlow iOS app, making it easy to top up whenever you're ready to create. Choose a token quantity that matches how many clips or full videos you plan to produce — buying in larger amounts is typically more cost-efficient if you're a frequent creator. All purchases are handled securely through Apple's in-app payment system, following <a href='https://developer.apple.com/in-app-purchase/' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Apple's standard in-app purchase guidelines</a>.

3. Use Tokens to Generate Clips

   When you start the video creation process in FluidFlow, tokens are automatically consumed as each transition clip is generated by the AI. You'll be able to see how many tokens a project will use before confirming, so there are no surprises. The best approach is to finalize your photo selection and style choice before initiating generation, ensuring your tokens are used exactly as intended.

4. Own Your Output

   Every video and clip you generate with FluidFlow belongs entirely to you — the platform does not claim ownership or licensing rights over your creative output. This means you can freely download, distribute, monetize, or repurpose your videos without any platform restrictions. FluidFlow's ownership model is designed to respect creators, ensuring that the work you produce with your tokens is yours to keep and use as you see fit.
