What Is Playcut Act?

Four Steps to Your First UGC Video
No filming. No editing. No voice actors. Just describe what you want and Playcut handles the rest.
Create Your Actor
Choose an existing AI actor or create a new one from scratch. Define their age, appearance, and style. This actor is yours—they'll look identical in every video you generate, whether it's 1 or 1,000.
Pick a Voice (or Let Grok Handle It)
Choose from 180+ voices in 12 languages, design a brand-new voice, or clone any voice from just 3 seconds of audio. Don't need a custom voice? Skip it and Grok will generate natural sound and ambient audio for your video automatically.
Add References & Write Your Prompt
Describe the scene, action, and setting. Add reference images for outfits, locations, or styles you want your actor to match. The more context you give, the better the result.
Generate & Download
Hit generate and get a fully rendered UGC video with natural motion and lip-synced speech. Your actor performs the scene exactly as described—ready to post, embed, or run as an ad. No watermarks on paid plans.
Why Playcut Act Costs 95% Less
Most AI UGC platforms charge $5–$11 per video because they rely on expensive video models. Playcut Act is powered by Grok Imagine from xAI—the same technology behind Grok's viral AI video generation—which delivers high-quality output at a fraction of the cost. We pass those savings directly to you.
Grok Imagine
xAI's video model produces natural, fluid motion at a price point that undercuts the competition. That's how a 5-second UGC video costs you sixty cents instead of eleven dollars.
No Hidden Fees
Voice, lip sync, and actor consistency are all included in the credit cost. No per-feature add-ons, no premium voice surcharges, no surprise invoices.
Studio Quality
Low cost doesn't mean low quality. Your videos feature photorealistic actors, natural movement, and perfectly synced speech that looks like it cost 10x more to produce.
$0.60 per video. That's less than a single stock photo on most platforms.
Real Cost Breakdown
Playcut Act uses a simple credit system: 15 credits to start + 7 credits per second of video. Adding custom voice with lip sync costs an additional 11 credits per second. Here's what that looks like in real dollars.
