How to Use EveryGen AI: Step-by-Step Video Guide

What You'll Make

EveryGen AI targets one output: publishable vertical video. Depending on the format you pick, you can end this guide with a faceless story Short, a clipped highlight from longer footage, a talking-head UGC clip, or a product ad built from a template or a link.

Before you start, confirm you are on everygen.ai. The EveryGen name is shared by several unrelated tools (including an iOS writing app and at least one lookalike video domain), and EveryGen itself has no free plan — so being on the wrong site can cost you a subscription to a product you did not want.

Step 1: Sign Up & Pick a Plan

Create your account at everygen.ai. There is no free tier — the pricing page lists three credit-based plans, cheaper when billed annually:

• Basic — $14/mo annual ($20 monthly), 200 credits/month. Standard video and image models plus the Seedance family.
• Professional — $19/mo annual ($29.99 monthly), 350 credits/month, 37% off.
• Creator — $49/mo annual ($69.99 monthly), 800 credits/month, 30% off. Unlocks all video and image models, up to ~150 AI videos, and up to 2.7 TB storage.

The deciding factor is model access: if you specifically want Veo 3.1's 4K output or the newest models, you need Creator. Also note the mechanics — credits refresh monthly with no roll-over and expire after 90 days, and exports, caption removals, and voiceover characters have per-tier caps. Buy the tier that matches your posting volume, not the biggest number.

Step 2: Choose a Format

EveryGen AI is template-first, and choosing the right starting point is half the battle. The main routes:

• Story video — combine a voiceover, b-roll, and captions into a faceless narrative Short.
• Clip video — turn longer footage into edited short-form clips.
• UGC / AI ad — start from a proven ad template, a product, or a product URL.
• Start from scratch — build your own template with AI voiceover, b-roll, and captions.

The vendor leans hard on this: its templates are formats that top channels already use. If you are new, pick a proven format and swap in your topic rather than designing a structure from zero — it is faster and more likely to perform.

Step 3: Write or Import a Script

Use the built-in AI scriptwriter to generate a script from a one-line idea — or, more usefully, paste a YouTube link and let it draft a script and scene plan from the source. You can also write your own script and upload it.

For a Short, keep the script tight. The strongest short-form scripts front-load a hook in the first line and keep each narration beat to a sentence or two, because the format demands fast pacing.

Step 4: Add Voiceover & Avatars

Generate the voiceover from your script — EveryGen AI includes AI voiceover with a per-tier character allowance (from 100,000 characters on Basic up to 450,000 on Creator). If you want a talking-head or UGC-style ad, choose a directable avatar and drive it with the script; the platform ships a library of presenter avatars for exactly this.

Avatars are optional. For faceless story and clip formats, skip them and go straight to visuals + voiceover.

Step 5: Generate the Video

This is where model choice matters. EveryGen AI routes your generation to a frontier model, and each one suits a different job:

• Seedance 2.5 — up to 30 seconds in 1080p; the site's lead model for cinematic motion.
• Kling 3.0 Turbo — 1080p with audio; the AI Video Generator is described as powered by Kling.
• MiniMax H3 / H3 Max — native audio generation.
• Veo 3.1 — the only 4K option.
• Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash — generation plus editing in one.

Keep output vertical (9:16) for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels. Video is generated without watermarks, so what you export is post-ready. Remember that model access depends on your plan — Basic is limited to standard models, so pick the tier that exposes the model you actually want.

Step 6: Captions & Style

Auto-captions are included, and the platform offers caption presets modeled on styles that viral channels use. Apply a preset and check that the caption timing lines up with the voiceover before you export — captions are one of the biggest retention levers in short-form, and a badly-timed caption is worse than none.

EveryGen AI's AI voiceover, script, captions, and b-roll all live in the same project, so you can iterate on any one of them without leaving the workspace.

Step 7: Remix & Reuse

Two EveryGen AI tools are built specifically for reusing existing content:

• Caption Remover — erases burned-in captions in one click, turning caption-covered clips into clean b-roll you can re-use.
• Video downloader — pulls source clips from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook to remix.
• AI Ad Cloner — upload a winning ad and rebuild it with a new avatar and voice while keeping the structure that works.

When you remix third-party source footage, respect the source platform's rules and the rights of the original creator — the tool makes the edit easy, but copyright compliance is still on you.

Step 8: Export & Monetize

Export in 9:16 at the resolution your model produced and upload to your platform. The vendor's FAQ states you can monetize videos made with EveryGen without any restrictions — a strong claim, but confirm the current license terms on the site before you rely on it for commercial work, especially when the piece uses remixed third-party footage.

If you work inside an AI assistant, you can skip the web editor entirely: Everygen MCP connects the studio to Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. In Claude, add a custom connector named Everygen with the URL everygen.ai/api/mcp, sign in, and ask the assistant to compose a video against your credits.

Tips for Better EveryGen AI Results

• Start from a proven template. The format library exists for a reason — swap your topic into a structure that already works.
• Match the model to the job. Native audio → MiniMax H3 or Kling 3.0 Turbo; 4K → Veo 3.1; length → Seedance 2.5.
• Batch your posting. Credits expire after 90 days and reset monthly without roll-over, so plan generation around your schedule.
• Front-load the hook. In short-form, the first second decides whether anyone sees the rest.
• Keep vertical. 9:16 is the native format for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Buying Basic for the best models. Full access to all video and image models sits behind the Creator tier.
• Letting credits expire. Unused credits do not roll over and lapse after 90 days.
• Signing up on the wrong domain. Several unrelated tools share the EveryGen name; the official studio is everygen.ai.
• Exporting horizontal for Shorts. Generate 9:16 from the start to avoid a lower-quality crop.
• Remixing without checking rights. The downloader makes source clips easy to pull; the legal responsibility for using them is still yours.
