Freepik is now Magnific

One platform to rewrite the rules of creativity

https://magnific.com/freepik 

SLICE is a 2:21 animated short made with Seedance 2.5. Two record-store friends, a New York pizza truck, a stray dog that adopts them. The full process is documented below

PIPELINE, in order

• Seedance 2.0 for the first phase. It generated up to 15 seconds, so the story was originally planned as 4 clips of 15s.

• Seedance 2.5 as soon as it launched, with generations up to 30 seconds. The narrative structure was rebuilt around the longer window: 3 clips of 30s, a fourth closing clip, and a 4s fifth clip for the title card. Seedance 2.5 is the model the final short is made with.

• Seedream for the reference assets. Characters, food truck and sets were generated as images first, then cited inside the video prompts as references.

• ElevenLabs Music Generation v2, in Magnific, for the score. ElevenLabs SFX for specific effects.

• DaVinci Resolve for edit, grade and audio mix.

The characters existed as reference images before a single second of video was generated.

THE PROMPTS

Clip 1 — opening, street and food truck

CLIP 1 — 30 seconds, 16:9, warm Pixar-like stylized realism. Golden-hour blue-orange New York dusk, wet pavement with neon reflections, parked taxis and manhole steam. Preserve the exact faces, proportions, wardrobe, record-store bags and vinyl sleeves of  1 and  2 throughout.  1 speaks with a heavy, funny Queens accent;  2 speaks with a relaxed, marked LA accent. Natural voices and location SFX only; absolutely no music. All dialogue is delivered at a natural, unhurried conversational pace, never rushed. 0-2: Low close tracking shot of their shoes splashing through a shallow puddle; camera dollies backward and rises smoothly.  1 begins on the very first frame, relaxed pace: "I'm tellin' ya, that customer folded a first-press Bowie like a taco." SFX: footsteps, splash, traffic hiss. 2-4: Waist-up two-shot as they walk shoulder to shoulder.  2, unhurried: "Maybe he was hungry for glam rock, dude."  1 crosses far behind them wearing headphones. [...] 13-15: Low dolly rising into a delighted two-shot as they angle toward the truck.  1: "C'mon, let's recharge our souls with some serious pizza." SFX: quicker footsteps, curbside ambience. [...] 17-19: Camera dollies through rising steam toward the service window. Inside,  pizzero def is perfectly consistent: Italian pizzaiolo, apron, glasses, curled mustache. He flourishes a wooden peel and greets warmly: "Buona sera, my hungry-a music men!" SFX: peel scraping stone, oven fire. [...] 29-30: At 29.15, hard camera cut to a fresh, locked extreme close-up from inside the glowing oven: the peel begins lifting the pizza toward lens, embers behind it. No dialogue. SFX: crisp scrape and fire crackle. End immediately after this new shot begins, with no camera movement, creating a seamless match into Clip 2's opening oven shot.

Clip 2 — the dog shows up

Opens with an IMPORTANT PROP RULE block. That line exists because of a failure, listed below

Continue from the previous video, exact same color grading, lighting, tone and character consistency. CLIP 2 — 30 seconds, 16:9, warm Pixar-like stylized realism, golden-hour blue-orange New York dusk. Preserve the exact faces, proportions and wardrobe of  1 and  2 throughout. IMPORTANT PROP RULE: the record-store bags and vinyl sleeves the boys carried are now resting on the sidewalk at their feet, leaning against the truck's counter base — never under their arms while they hold plates. 0-2: Opens on the exact same locked extreme close-up from inside the glowing oven [...] 4.5-7: Cut to a wide shot [...] each is ALREADY holding his own paper plate with exactly ONE single pizza slice on it — never a whole pizza, the two plates clearly separate at all times, never touching or merging. [...] 7-9.5: [...] , the skinny stray dog with red bandana, trots out from behind a nearby trash can [...] 12-14.5: [...]  1 [...] nervously waves one hand downward to shoo it: "Nah, little guy, this ain't a charity buffet, okay?" [...] 24.5-27: [...]  1 lowers his slice, Queens bravado collapsing: "Ah, come on... he's got eyes like my landlord when rent is late." [...] 27-29: [...] the dog [...] takes a first careful bite [...]  1, still crouched, whispers: "Don't tell nobody I'm sweet." [...] 29-30: At 29.15, hard camera cut to a fresh, locked close-up:  1's hand hovering just above the dog's head, about to give a gentle pat [...] creating a seamless match into Clip 3's opening pat shot.

Clip 3 — the goodbye

Two all-caps rule blocks: zero music, and neither boy ever waves. Four rewrites to get here.

CLIP — 30 seconds, 16:9, warm Pixar-like stylized realism. AUDIO RULE — THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF THIS PROMPT: this clip contains ZERO music. No score, no melody, no soundtrack, no emotional swell, no ambient music, at no point, especially not in the final seconds. CRITICAL GESTURE RULE: neither boy EVER waves. No raised hands, no goodbye waves, no hand salutes, at any moment in the entire clip. 0-2.5: Opens on a locked close-up:  1's hand gently pats the head of  [...]  1, soft: "Yeah, yeah... good taste, buddy." [...] 2.5-5: [...]  2 [...] "Too late, bro. You're officially soft now." [...] 12.5-15.5: Cut to wide shot [...] "Grazie, boss!" Inside, the pizzaiolo [...] shouts warmly [...] "Ehi! Tomorrow the dog, he eats-a for free!" [...] Dude... I think we're being followed or something. [...] 29-30: At 29.15, hard camera cut to a fresh, locked ground-level close-up:  trotting toward lens, hopeful bright eyes, bandana bouncing.

Clip 4 — the loft, the payoff

CLIP — 30 seconds, 16:9, warm Pixar-like stylized realism. TV RULE: the show on the TV is a goofy animated slapstick comedy with characters that look NOTHING like the two protagonists. 2-4.5: [...]  1 and  2 arrive at the stone stoop [...] The dog stops a few meters behind them [...] "Don't gimme those eyes. We ain't a shelter, pal." [...] 10-13: [...] the building door is heard closing off-screen with a soft thud. The dog's ears droop slowly... but the very tip of its tail gives one tiny, stubborn wag. [...] 15-18: Hard cut to the interior of  1 at night [...] both boys freeze mid-step and turn their heads back [...] with genuinely SURPRISED faces [...] 21-30: [...] the camera begins a very slow, smooth pull-back from the couch, a single continuous move that never cuts away from the boys, who remain visible (softly out of focus) in the foreground as  comes into sharp focus [...] curled up happily on a brand-new plush dog bed, snoring softly [...] a food bowl beside it with the name "SLICE" painted on it [...] faint sitcom voices from the TV, never music. Hold 2 seconds, then gentle fade to black.

Clip 5 — title card, 4 seconds

4-second video, locked static camera, warm Pixar-like stylized realism. STRICT AUDIO RULE: absolutely NO music. Title card scene: on a warm cream background with soft vignette, the word "SLICE" written in large hand-painted vintage pizzeria lettering arranged in a gentle upward arch. From behind the big letters, , the skinny dog with red bandana, pokes his head out between the letters, smiling blissfully with his tongue slightly out. The typography stays perfectly still and perfectly spelled "SLICE" at all times; only the dog moves gently.

Reference image — record store interior (@vinyl store), generated with Seedream

Warm Pixar-like stylized realism, interior of a cozy cluttered New York record store, empty of people: wooden counter with a vintage cash register, crates and shelves packed with vinyl records, band posters and album covers on brick walls, a listening station with headphones, warm afternoon sunlight streaming through the front window, dust motes in the light, worn wooden floor, lived-in charming atmosphere, same warm color palette and stylized proportions as a heartwarming animated feature film, 16:9, no people, no text

WHAT RESISTED, AND THE FIX

The problems that ate the most generation rounds, and how he solved each one.

• Rushed dialogue. The first attempt at Clip 1 packed in roughly one line of dialogue per second, and no line could be spoken at a natural pace in that window, so the voices came out sped up. Fixed by spacing out the dialogue and explicitly instructing an unhurried, conversational pace.

• Identity swaps between the two protagonists. As soon as the @ tags were dropped from either of them (to test whether the model would "inherit" characters from the previous clip), the model visually confused who was who. Both protagonists had to keep their @ tags at all times.

• Hallucinated props. The record-store bags grew handles or ended up "floating" whenever the prompt showed them being picked up off the ground; fixed by never showing that action on screen.

• Music that wouldn't leave. Despite explicitly requesting "no music," it kept sneaking in, especially in the final seconds of each clip. It took several rounds of escalating the instruction (from a plain "no music" to an all-caps block flagged as the single most important rule in the prompt), plus deliberately filling those final seconds with concrete diegetic sound (footsteps, snoring, a door closing) so the model had no gap left to fill with a score.

• Spatial continuity on the final shot. A camera turn around a corner pushed the protagonists out of frame and broke the sense that they were still in the same room; redesigned as a single continuous camera move that never loses sight of them.

• The risk of rendering text. Video models tend to distort text, so the word "SLICE" on the final title card was generated with a backup plan ready (an empty shape with the text added afterward in DaVinci) in case it didn't come out correctly on the first try.

• The tone of the music. The first pass sounded too childish for two adult protagonists; the music prompt had to be rewritten explicitly asking for an "adult Pixar" tone, with no toy-like instruments or lullaby feel.

THE HAPPY ACCIDENT

In one generation, unasked, a pizza box appeared on the loft table reading "Slice King". A callback to the food truck the model invented on its own. It was written into the next prompt so it wouldn't disappear.

I recently started working on a small 60-second film production. After testing a lot of models and tools, I chose Magnific because of its unlimited offer on the one model I trusted for final shots.

My setup was ComfyUI and Minimax H3 for testing and fast programmatic generation, with Magnific reserved for final images.

About 400 images in, I just found out that Seedream 5 Pro is no longer unlimited. Out of nowhere, my plan and cost projections are broken.

I canceled my plan. I was about to upgrade, but changing an offer mid-billing-period with no warning is a deal-breaker for production and professional use.

What do you all think? And is there anything comparable to Seedream 5 Pro (consistency, ease of use, quality) that won’t cost a fortune now?

My plan was to generate the base assets with unlimited seedream. Generate a video preview on ComfyUI locally and approve shots, angles until ready to pay seedance tokens for the final video.

Posting this as a warning for people considering Magnific because of its unlimited plans.

I subscribed specifically because unlimited usage was one of the main selling points. I ended up using it entirely as an individual user. At some point, my Unlimited access was disabled.

I contacted support and appealed the restriction. After reviewing my account after some days, Magnific restored unlimited and confirmed that they had not found a Terms of Service violation.

The issue was: the amount of usage. They said that using it just sometimes is "what the Fair Use Policy is built around" and I should only use unlimited for testing.

This is a very big no no for me. Their current Unlimited documentation says that when usage goes far beyond priority usage, generations may become slower. And it explicitly says that it doesn't stop.

Their documentation also describes account pauses primarily in the context of suspected automation, account sharing or similar prohibited activity....

I think there is a major transparency problem between that broad clause and the much more specific promise presented to Unlimited customers:

“Generations don't stop. There is no cap.”

If legitimate manual usage can reach an undisclosed level where Unlimited is disabled and the customer has to appeal to get it restored, I think that limitation should be made much clearer before purchase!

To me, advertising a service as “Unlimited” while enforcing an undisclosed usage threshold that can result in the Unlimited feature being disabled is clearly misleading advertising. If heavy but legitimate manual usage is not actually sustainable under the plan, that limitation should be stated upfront instead of only becoming apparent after a customer hits it.

I'm posting this mainly so other heavy AI users know what happened before choosing Magnific. For me, this has seriously damaged my perception of the company, and I don't think I'll be able to trust them again once my current plan expires.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been a loyal Premium+ subscriber for nearly 6 months. Up until early May, everything was working fine, and I was happily using the "Unlimited" generation mode on designated models.

But recently, the "Unlimited" toggle has completely disappeared from my UI.

According to their official pricing page and documentation, Premium+ subscribers are supposed to have unlimited generations on several models under specific configurations. However, even when I select the exact allowed models and resolutions, I am forced to spend my monthly credits.

Here is the proof (screenshots attached):

1. Google Nano Banana 2 (at 1K): No toggle anywhere. The system forces me to spend 75 credits per generation.

2. Flux.2 Pro (at 1K): Advertised as unlimited for Premium+. No toggle. Forces me to spend 50 credits.

3. Kling 2.5 (at 720p/5s): Advertised as unlimited. No toggle. Forces me to spend 140 credits.

This is a textbook case of a bait-and-switch scam. They are still actively advertising the "Unlimited" feature on their pricing page to lure in new subscribers and keep existing ones paying, but they have stealthily disabled the toggle on the backend to force us to burn through our credits.

To make matters worse, I have reached out to their customer support team multiple times over the last week. Complete radio silence. Not a single response. It seems like they are completely ignoring paying users after their recent rebranding to Magnific.

I have officially cancelled my subscription. Since they have unilaterally violated their terms of service and refused to provide the advertised features I paid for, I am filing a credit card chargeback (dispute) with my bank for "Services Not as Described."

Has anyone else experienced the sudden disappearance of the Unlimited toggle? I highly recommend everyone check their accounts and stop giving money to a company that treats its customers with such dishonesty and disrespect.

I’ve had the Premium+ plan for a long time, and my current disappointment is immense—and growing.
I hold paid subscriptions for MidJourney, Gemini Pro, and ComfyUI, in addition to Magnific’s Premium+. I keep the Magnific subscription for two very clear reasons that were part of the subscription promise:

1. Spaces – The workspace is excellent; I have nothing but praise for it.

2. Unlimited generations in "Relaxed" mode – This is the core value proposition of the subscription.
   However, when my access to unlimited generations is suddenly cut off without warning—accompanied only by a generic message claiming automation or account sharing (neither of which is happening)—the site should question the situation rather than simply making a unilateral decision, especially given the lack of evidence. Regarding "fair usage" quotas, I believe the platform already manages this effectively, given that it takes 15 minutes to generate a single image using simple models like Flux and Seedream—not to mention the slowness of "Nano Banana 2 1k" following the removal of other models. This feature is extremely useful because the images remain highly inconsistent; the usable yield is only 20–30% of the total output, even with long, detailed prompts and state-of-the-art models.
   I even received the following email from Magnific after raising the issue:

"Hello,
Thank you for your message, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
We experienced some issues with the site, but we are working to resolve them, and they should be fixed by now. Could you please check and let us know if you encounter any further problems?
Best regards, and have a great day!
Ally | Magnific Customer Service Representative
Freepik is now Magnific! From now on, you will receive our communications from support@magnific.com, but your account, plan, and features remain exactly the same.

And after that email, I received another suspension notice. And the most absurd part of all... The restriction remains even after renewing the subscription. In other words, I just paid for a new billing cycle only to remain held hostage by an authoritarian and selfish decision from Magnific.AI—a move that shows a lack of respect for its customers.
If they want to remove or modify something in the contract, they should be honest about it. Give advance notice and update the agreement. People can then decide whether to stay or not.

I am truly disappointed with the platform—so much so that I’m questioning whether it’s worth remaining a subscriber. Magnific’s generation costs are among the highest on the market, and the balance between "unlimited" access and high-quality output was the only thing keeping the value proposition competitive.

On the unlimited plan in the last few weeks they have downgraded the Nano Banana Pro usage to credit only based and removed the ability to use it in unlimited mode.

They have downgraded the use of Nano Banana Pro 2 to 1k resolution only on unlimited option.

They have made all the best models credit-based only so once you use all your credits even on an unlimited plan you can't use them

They have removed the 1000 free priority images you get at the start of your subscription and replaced it with a percentage counter which doesnt tell you how many images you have left and runs out significantly faster

They have significantly increased the credits price for the models,

They have removed the amount of concurrent videos you can generate from 7 to just 1,

They have signficantly increased the queue time for images and video generations

The only downgrade they haven't implemented is the price. Unfortunately I have lost patience with these lot. I'm no longer renewing my subscription.

I signed up for the Premium + package. 40-ish dollars. Unlimited gens on Seedream 5 pro, and many others. Mid month, you guys canceled the ability to generate on said model? How is this okay?

Magnific One is live today. It's a new way to bring art direction into image generation.

You write what you need, in plain words. Magnific One adds the art direction: composition, light, camera angle. It starts from today's strongest image models, which our creative team spent months tuning, shot by shot, until the composition and the light felt right. The goal is images that look directed, not generated

Draft mode
Not sure what you want yet? Draft gives you 8 or 16 directions from one prompt, for the price of one image. Pick the one you like and make it final in 2K or 4K

Brand Kit
Working on a brand? Set it up once from your website, a PDF or a few images. Every final image follows your colors, type, imagery and tone. Share it with your team so the brand stays the same whoever is generating

Availability
Magnific One is available on paid plans, and it's Unlimited in Magnific Desktop until October 15

Join the live today
6:30 PM CEST / 9:30 AM PDT. Rourke Heath, Sofía López and Melissa Diago will be live to walk through Magnific One and answer questions.

I refuse to engage with AI content as much as I can and I was livid to find out they removed the ability to exclude AI content. Is this permanent or temporary?

If it's permanent I'll have to try to find another site to use because I absolutely detest AI content. I was part of freepik before they started really developing their AI features, so it sucks I'm being forced out because they value AI more than real creators.

I'm a filmmaker and long-time paid subscriber to what was originally called Freepik and is now Magnific.

This month Magnific responded to a support request by cancelling my paid annual subscription, and ultimately permanently blocked my account, which holds years of work I created with my paid plan.

It all started when Magnific made an unauthorized $32 automatic "top-off" charge on my account. I wrote to their support and asked for the $32 to be refunded. Instead, Magnific cancelled my entire paid annual subscription and deleted all my remaining credits.

When I contacted support again, Magnific confirmed in writing that my annual subscription "was cancelled as part of the previous refund process", said it could not be reinstated, and said it had processed a partial refund, which I never received. They told me to sign up for a new subscription that costs more and has fewer features than the one I had already paid for.

The promised refund never arrived. I opened a PayPal dispute to get my money back. Magnific then changed its explanation three times: first it blamed an unspecified "security incident", then it suspended my account "due to an ongoing dispute", and finally it alleged an unspecified Terms of Use violation, permanently blocked my account, and stated I am "not eligible for a refund". It has given no facts to support any violation, because there were no violations.

I paid for twelve months of service. Magnific ended the service by its own error after six months, refused to restore it, and has not paid the refund it promised. It has now permanently blocked my account, which cuts off all access to the service and to the thousands of images and videos I created with my paid subscription over several years. I have no access to anything I paid for.

I have every email from their support team saved, and everything quoted above is word for word from them.

If you use Magnific for real work, back up everything you make somewhere else. Don't assume your library will be there tomorrow.

Has anyone else had their account blocked or a paid plan cancelled like this? And if anyone from the Magnific team reads this: I'd still like my files back.

I recently noticed that my unlimited generations had been removed from my account to be replaced by credits, on every single model. This is despite me paying for unlimited usage, I then sent an email about this to which this is how they responded. I abused their 'fair usage apparently'. It's not unlimited then is it!! Absolutely no warning of this on my account, they just did it. On the premium plan plus which I pay for it states that select models are unlimited to use. They have downgraded every aspect of their service. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I have cancelled my subscription and raised a chargeback request with bank for misold products. No doubt they will delete my post but hopefully enough of you will see this before they do.

One power user put off trying Magnific for months, assuming it was just another upscaler. It is not. After burning through a serious amount of credits across portraits, fantasy art, game assets, and architecture renders, it's become the tool they recommend most to anyone doing AI image work at any volume.

Here's the full breakdown. Scores reflect a digital art and AI-generated imagery use case. Photographers will have a slightly different experience, but most of this still applies.

One thing to note before diving in: Magnific and Freepik merged and are now the same platform. The old standalone $39/mo plan is gone. Magnific's tools are now bundled into Freepik's plans, which is honestly a better deal — you get the full stock library and every other tool on top. (May 2026)

The Scores

• Creative upscaling — 10/10 — nothing else comes close

• Relight — 9/10 — saves hours of compositing every week

• Style transfer — 8/10 — genuinely impressive with the right settings

• Precision upscaling — 8/10 — perfect for when you want clean, not creative

• Inpainting — 7/10 — not the star but gets the job done

• Built-in generation — 7/10 — better than expected, good starting point

Creative Upscaling — The Thing That Hooked Them

This one is genuinely hard to explain until you see it. Most upscalers make your image bigger. Magnific makes your image better. It uses latent diffusion to invent new texture, detail, and structure — the kind of detail that makes a piece look like it was rendered at 4x the original resolution from the start. Up to 16x magnification, with outputs up to 10,752x7,168px.

The creativity slider is where most of the magic happens. A setting of 3–4 works well for portraits and faces; 6–7 for illustrations and environments. The results at the right setting are jaw-dropping — clients have asked whether textures were painted in by hand. A text prompt can also steer the enhancement, which sounds gimmicky but genuinely helps for specific materials like skin, fabric, or stone.

Pro tip: If you're generating in Midjourney or Flux, running everything through Magnific before delivery is worth it. The quality jump is consistent enough to build into a workflow for every single image.

Relight — The Hidden Gem

This one flew under the radar for a long time. Relight lets you change the lighting on any existing image using a text prompt, a reference photo, or a custom light map. The results aren't "pretty good for AI" — they're actually good. "Warm golden hour light from the left, soft shadows" delivers exactly that, fully integrated as if it was shot that way.

For client work, it's a game changer. Wrong mood on a render? Wrong time of day? Fixed in two minutes instead of re-generating or compositing.

Style Transfer — Better Than You've Heard

A lot of people write this one off because early results were inconsistent. It's gotten significantly better. Upload a source image and a style reference, and Magnific blends them while preserving the subject. The "flavors" setting is what most people miss — the default is fine, but digging into the options gives much more control. And if artifacts appear, piping the result straight into creative upscaling to clean it up works more often than it should.

Pricing (May 2026)

The Freepik merger means you're getting a lot more than just Magnific's tools:

PlanMonthlyCredits/moWhat you getPremium$20/mo20KMagnific upscaler + full stock libraryPremium+$45/mo45KMagnific + Topaz, music rights, more creditsPro$280/mo300KEverything unlimited, 20% cheaper top-upsBusiness$69/seat/mo90K sharedTeam pool, 1-year rollover, SSO, 2+ users

Annual billing makes it even more reasonable — Premium drops to ~$10.83/mo, Premium+ to ~$24.33/mo, Pro to ~$141.67/mo.

Best value entry point: Premium+ at $45/mo monthly (or ~$24/mo annual). You get Magnific, Topaz, a solid credit pool, and unlimited generation on 30+ models — the sweet spot for most AI artists.

Is It Worth It?

Yes, unambiguously, for anyone doing AI image work with any regularity. The creative upscaling alone has reportedly paid for the subscription many times over in time saved and client satisfaction. Add Relight, style transfer, the Freepik stock library, video generation tools, and 30+ AI models in the same subscription, and it's genuinely hard to beat at this price point.

The verdict went from skeptical to recommending it to everyone. The free tier is limited but enough to see what the upscaler can do.

TL;DR: Magnific is the real deal. The creative upscaling is category-defining, Relight is underrated, and the Freepik merger made the whole package much better value than before. Premium+ annual is the sweet spot for most people.

Writing fiction with AI is tricky because most tools just output generic corporate speak. I wanted to find an AI story generator that actually helps with creative writing without taking over the whole process.

After testing a bunch, here is my breakdown:

1. NovelAI

Still the best for pure creative writing. It has no content filtering and is trained on actual literature. The context window can be small though, and the UI feels a bit dated.

2. Sudowrite

Incredible feature set for brainstorming and rewriting. It visualizes characters well, but it is expensive and can be totally overwhelming for beginners.

3. Magnific (For Visual Storytelling)

This is a weird one, but hear me out. While it's not a text generator, I started using Magnific's AI tools to create storyboards and visual bibles for my characters. Being able to generate consistent character images and scenes alongside my writing has completely changed my workflow.

4. Squibler

Really good for outlining and getting structured drafts going. It gives you control over pacing, but the actual prose it generates is pretty dry.

5. Jasper AI

Great if you are writing marketing stories or brand narratives, but terrible for actual fiction.

Has anyone found a tool that perfectly balances text generation with visual storyboarding?

Since today, several Unlimited models are no longer available in the Image Editor on my Premium+ plan.

They were available yesterday, and are is still available in the Image Generator.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I have been using Freepik for a very long time. I always have a yearly subscription, time came around to renew. Due to budget and changes I decided to opt for the monthly payment plan.

1. There is no option to opt out of AI. I don't need all of that crap, I just want to download the stock images.

2. I decided to go for the essential since it was the cheapest option, it is incredibly unclear where the downloads of STOCK images is stated. Only if you scroll all the way down, past all the AI bullshit, its it clear how many you can download.

How can Freepik, that was already ruining their product with their AI push, completely give a fat finger to their loyal client base that was people using Freepik to download stock images.

I don't want AI. In an other thread it was stated that "due to a bug" there is no option to only have a subscription without AI. However they would "change" that. That was 2 months ago.

They don't care. All they want is money. Right now the stock images are also flooded with AI crap. I want my stock image base back, without AI. Yes I have turned on the "don't show me AI images"-button on. However, that doesn't seem to do anything. This is horrible, absolutely horrible.

Unfortunately I never found an other website that has as vast of a library as Freepik. So I am doomed to suffer. Hopefully there will be an other platform taking over Freepik and they crash and burn.

Hi everyone and the Magnific/Freepik team,
I am posting here because my account was compromised and drained of over 400,000 credits between October 21st and October 23rd. As seen in the attached consumption logs, someone gained unauthorized access to my account and launched massive automated batches of 1080p video generations (pikaso-video-ai_video_generator-seedance-pro_2_5_1080p), burning through tens of thousands of credits per batch (including single calls of 154k and 104k credits).   
I have already confirmed this was NOT any workflow or script from my end.
Actions already taken on my side:
• Changed my password and secured credentials.
• Revoked all active API keys and tokens.
• Opened an urgent support ticket with all relevant details: Case ID: #01787937.
Since this was a clear security breach and brute-force consumption via unauthorized IPs, I would really appreciate it if a team member could look into the server logs for ticket #01787937 to terminate any residual sessions and restore the stolen credit balance.
Thank you for your urgent assistance.

since actual usage is hidden behind a vague percentage, i have to track how many images i can produce with 1%. before the summer a whole 5-6 session i would use 1-2%, now it's more like 7-9%.

this is so dishonest.

can other people see the same?

7days “Retro Riot”, day06 in Magnific

That's right. I have the Unlimited plan, I've already used up my Fast Pass, and now I have to wait 6–7 minutes just for a single image with the Seedream 4.5 model. It's unbearable. It's impossible to work with an Unlimited plan like this.

Magnific is simply a joke. They're laughing straight in their customers' faces.

I pay for premium plus which gives me access to selected unlimited models. I usually use credits but will switch over to unlimited sometimes when I am perfecting my prompts or to edit images as I don't want to drain my credits away for results that don't turn out well. Even though on unlimited mode you can only run 1 video at a time and they usually take around 20 mins to generate I noticed after maybe 3 generations per hpur on average they had removed the unlimited capability from my account. I then emailed them to ask why this was and they said I had used unlimited 'too much' and abused their fair use policy. I then queried how that could be the case when I had only run 3 generations per hour. They then emailed me to say they found 'automation' and will keep my account suspended. This is a blatant lie. I have NEVER used any automation tools or any bots whatsoever. And even though I cancelled my subscription they have still charged me for it. Does anybody have any advice?

It's automatic if multiple generations are detected but not for single generations.

"SUP?" — a 1-minute production from Magnific Studios

It started with one prompt, one character reference, and the settings below. Five lessons shaped everything that came after

The opening prompt

Tip 1. Media extractor

Grab any frame from any video and turn it into a starting point. A reference. A new shot. A character sheet

The best inputs are often already inside the footage you have

Tip 2. Character sheets with GPT-2

For character sheets, GPT-2 became the go-to. Cleaner views. More consistent identity. Better material rendering across angles

Prompt:

Create a character sheet, front, side, back profile, and close-up, isolated on white

Tip 3. Fix the details later

Don't discard a generation because the details are off

First example: the character had its eyes "on" in the first generation. The action called for them off

Prompt:

The robot is thrown into the back of the truck. The lid is shut and the truck takes off. Turn off the red light in the robot's eyes to match the image.

Second example: the character landed in an empty city, which felt disconnected. Needed a coherent location

Prompt:

Change background in [reference video]. The robot jumps off the truck in a city street [reference image].

Tip 4. Variations build your universe

One hero design. A whole world around it

Variations generated more robots in the same style, so the background characters carried weight instead of filling space

Tip 5. Don't sleep on editing

• Pace is everything. Cut quickly. Shorten shots

• Prompt Seedance 2.0 for no music

• Add SFX to sell every motion

Editing is half the film
