How to create a fal.ai API key for filmaris

Five steps, about five minutes. You need the key once — every AI generation in filmaris then runs on it.

Los costes se cobran por dos lados

Para usar filmaris necesitas una clave API de fal.ai además de uno de nuestros planes.

Las generaciones de IA —vídeo, imágenes, audio, música, voz— las cobra fal.ai a tu clave API de fal.ai.
La creación de la película y el uso de nuestra plataforma los cobra filmaris a través de nuestros planes.

Puedes usar nuestra plataforma gratis durante 14 días, así que de momento solo necesitas la clave API de fal.ai.

Ejemplo: una película de 3 minutos cuesta unos 15–30 $ en filmaris más unos 30–60 $ en fal.ai (cobrados a tu clave de fal.ai).

See the plans on the pricing page.

Step 2: Add credit to your fal.ai account

Open Billing in your fal.ai dashboard and top up your balance with a payment card. fal.ai charges every AI generation you start in filmaris to this balance. Free coupon credits only work in fal.ai’s own playground, not through the API — filmaris needs purchased credit. Keep an eye on the balance: when it runs low, fal.ai locks the account and filmaris generations stop with a fal.ai error until you top up again. New fal.ai accounts can run 2 generations at the same time; the limit rises automatically (up to 40) as you buy more credit. Purchased fal.ai credit expires 365 days after purchase.

Step 3: Create the API key

Open Keys in your fal.ai dashboard and click "Create Key". Give it a name you will recognise, for example "filmaris", and choose the scope "API". Copy the key right away — fal.ai shows it only once.

fal.ai → Keys →

Step 4: Save the key in filmaris

In filmaris open Account → Your API Keys. In the fal.ai row click "Add key", paste the key and click "Validate & save". filmaris checks the key with fal.ai and stores it encrypted.

Account → Your API Keys →

Step 5: Start creating

Every AI generation now runs on your fal.ai key. You see its cost in your fal.ai dashboard; the filmaris credits for the platform show in your filmaris balance.
