Yes. You can create and review your story flow, but video seconds are required to generate the video clips and complete your video.
Intellemo allows you to go through the planning and review stages first, including creating your script, generating audio, and building your storyboard. Video seconds are required when you are ready to turn your approved storyboard into video clips.
What Can I Do Before Purchasing Video Seconds?
You can prepare and review your story before purchasing video seconds. This includes:
Step 1: Describe Your Idea
Enter your idea, product, or campaign brief. Intellemo uses your input to create a video structure and generate a script.
You can then review the script and make changes if required.
Step 2: Generate your Audioboard and Storyboard
Before generating the final video, Intellemo lets you review your audioboard and storyboard so you can revise your story and visuals.

With this preview, you can:
- Review narration, voice, and audio flow
- Make sure the visuals and audio align with your expectations
- Check the generated frames, scenes, and overall visual flow before generating the video.

This allows you to validate both the creative direction and the audio experience before purchasing video seconds.
Step 3: Approve Your Storyboard
Once you're satisfied with the Storyboard, click Approve Storyboard to move forward with generating the video clips.
If your available video balance is insufficient at any stage, you'll need to add more video seconds before continuing.
When Do I Need to Purchase Video Seconds?
You need to purchase video seconds when you are ready to generate video clips from your storyboard.
Once your storyboard is approved, Intellemo uses the required video seconds to generate the clips. If your available balance is not sufficient, you will need to add more video seconds before continuing.
What Happens If I Don't Have Enough Video Seconds?
You can still create and review your script, audio, and storyboard.
However, you cannot generate the final video clips until you have enough video seconds available in your account.
Important: A storyboard is a visual preview of your story, not the final video. Video seconds are required to turn the storyboard scenes into generated video clips.
