Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a photo into a video?
Open Video, upload a photo, describe one action or pick a camera preset, and choose a model such as Kling, Veo, Seedance or Hailuo. The credit price is shown on the button before you run it. Sharp photos with a large face work best.
Do I need an account?
You can browse sections, models and effects without signing in. Generation needs an email account because credits are reserved on your balance.
How can I use Kling, Veo and Nano Banana from Russia?
In Solistra these models work from Russia without a foreign card, and you pay in rubles. Requests to foreign models are sent only after you consent to cross-border transfer, without your email, phone or user ID.
How do I pay with a Russian card?
Pay for a plan or a credit pack with a Russian bank card or SBP. Credits are added and a receipt is issued only after the payment provider confirms the payment.
Do I need a VPN?
No. The site, generation and payment work from Russia.
Which model is best for image to video?
Kling gives smooth motion and precise camera control, Veo 3.1 creates video with sound and dialogue, Seedance is strong at multi shot scenes and dynamics, and Hailuo at lively facial expressions. Each model shows its features and price in the catalog.
How much does a video generation cost?
The price depends on the model, duration and resolution and is shown in credits on the button before you run it. Credits are reserved at start and charged after the result. If the model fails, the reserve is returned.
How long does a generation take?
Before you run it, the server shows an estimated duration for the selected model. You can close the page, the task keeps running and the result appears in your library.
What are credits?
Credits are the internal unit for paying for generations. They come monthly with the Spark, Pulse, Orbit or Nova plan or as a credit pack, and your spending history is visible in your account.
How do I make Wildberries product cards with AI without hurting my rating?
Keep the real product, its shape, color and logo, and change the scene, background and infographics. Wildberries treats unnatural AI photos and distorted characters as card errors, so add text with a template rather than generating it.
How do I cut a long video into Shorts with subtitles?
In Clips, upload a file up to 4 GB or a VK Video, RuTube or Twitch link, then choose the clip length and subtitle style. The model finds the moments, you fix the text and download vertical clips.
How do I make a talking photo?
Upload a front facing portrait, add audio or text and pick a voice. The model syncs the lips to the speech. You can use another person’s photo or voice only with their consent.
How do I get an AI photo shoot with my own face?
In Characters, upload 15 to 30 photos of yourself and confirm that they show you. After training, pick the character in Image, Video and effects. Only you can use it, and there is no public feed.
Is it safe to upload photos, and where is my data stored?
The database, files and backups are stored in Russia. A foreign model receives only media without EXIF and the prompt text, and the task is labeled with a random ID. Moderation runs before and after generation, and there is no 18+ mode.
Can I connect Claude or ChatGPT over MCP?
Yes. In Motion you add Solistra to your own Claude or ChatGPT over MCP, and it builds a video from scenes, text and music. You set permissions and a daily spending limit when you connect.
