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 accepting an invitation and authenticating, you are taken to the Projects hub in the workspace you joined:

/dashboard/assets/

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

Your profile menu

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

• Switch workspace — if you belong to more than one workspace (personal or organization)
• View credits — your current balance, with a refresh button; click through to Pricing & credits
• My Profile — open /dashboard/profile/ to manage your creator profile and directory settings
• Pricing — plans, subscriptions, and credit packs
• 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)
• Buy or manage plans — /dashboard/credits/ or the public Pricing page
• Learn more — the Pricing page FAQ explains draft vs final generation, credit packs, and Studio workspace pools

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.
