Setting Up Your Account

Welcome! If you do not have access yet, start with What is AI Animation? and Accessing AI Animation. This guide covers what to expect once you're signed in.

Where you land after sign-in

After you create or join a workspace, open the Projects hub:

/dashboard/assets/

This is your home base for starting productions, opening recent projects, and chatting with Ani to kick off new work.

If you've created a login but haven't set up a workspace yet, you'll be asked to name your Free workspace first. No card is required. Signing in to an existing account returns you to your available workspaces.

Your workspace menu

The workspace name in the header shows which workspace is active. Open it to switch workspaces or choose Workspace billing & credits. Owners and authorised administrators can review the current plan, upgrade and manage billing for that selected workspace.

Free and Paid use the same shared production workspace. Free has no time limit or automatic charges; Paid unlocks the full supported image and video model catalogue, recurring shared credits and the ability to buy credit packs. Current prices and allowances are on Pricing.

Your profile menu

Click your avatar in the top-right corner to open the profile menu. From here you can:

• View credits — the active workspace's current balance, with a refresh button
• My Profile — open /dashboard/profile/ to manage your creator profile and directory settings
• Workspace credits — view credit information for the active workspace
• Support/Feedback — send a question, bug report, or feature request to the team
• Sign out

Inside a project: Plan, Create, Storyboard

When you open a project, the pipeline navigation at the top moves you through the production workflow:

Ani appears inline on the Projects hub and on Create and Storyboard. On Plan, Ani docks in the sidebar so you can work through production details without losing context.

Credits at a glance

Generation is metered with credits. Different models and resolutions use different amounts.

• View balance — profile menu (top right)
• Manage your workspace plan — workspace menu → Workspace billing & credits
• Learn more — Pricing explains Free/Paid access, current allowances and credit packs

Optional: complete your profile

You don't need a full profile to generate content, but it's worth setting up if you plan to:

• Appear in the Creator Directory
• Purchase Featured directory tiers (requires a basic profile first)

Open My Profile from the profile menu to add your display name, bio, and portfolio items.
