It's so easy, just upload your audio, select a clip, choose a design, and you're ready to go! Here is a blog post about it!

We don't currently limit the size of image you use, though the larger the image is, the slower it might take to load. You can shrink the file size of your image here: https://tinypng.com/.

While you can load very long audio into SoundMadeSeen to clip from, the longest video you can generate is generally around 2 hours.

Yes you can! We can transcribe your audio, and that transcription will be used in the final video. We even give you a last chance to edit the transcription before you generate your clip. Our design editor also gives you many options on how to format your captions, including font, font size and colour and even where it sit's on the screen!

If you generate a video in one of our free plans, we insert a SoundMadeSeen logo in the bottom right corner. This is not done on a paid plan. However, some of our template designs contain a SoundMadeSeen logo which cannot be removed.

Yes you can - in the Video view page there is a link to download your video.

Once you have paid for SoundMadeSeen’s services, there are no monetary refunds.

We also make it clear at purchase and in receipts that SoundMadeSeen is a subscription monthly or annually. For annual plans, we notify you over email prior to your annual renewal so you have plenty of time to cancel if you do not want to continue your service.

You can find all of your receipts and invoices under the Billing tab in your account.

You can cancel your paid subscription from your Accounts page on the Plans tab. Please note that your subscription will expire at the end of your current billing period and no refund will be given on time remaining.

Credits are a way you can purchase transcription time, video time, image requests, text-to-speech characters or content tokens.

Credits are a single use purchase which will be added to your monthly allowances. eg, if you have 10 video minutes remaining for the month and you purchase 100 video minutes, you will have 110 video minutes remaining.

If you purchase credits, but still have monthly allowance minutes remaining, the monthly allowance minutes will be used before any purchased credits.
Credits are non-refundable, but do not expire (unless SoundMadeSeen is discontinued, which we would be extremely sad about).

The easiest way to purchase tokens is by going to your Account Usage page and clicking on the relevant "Buy Credits" link.

Once you have purchased credits, it may take a few minutes for them to appear on your account.
