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.

Les coûts sont facturés de deux côtés

Pour utiliser filmaris, vous avez besoin d’une clé API fal.ai en plus de l’un de nos plans.

Les générations IA — vidéo, images, audio, musique, voix — sont facturées par fal.ai sur votre clé API fal.ai.
La création du film et l’utilisation de notre plateforme sont facturées par filmaris via nos plans.

Vous pouvez utiliser notre plateforme gratuitement pendant 14 jours : pour l’instant, il vous suffit de la clé API fal.ai.

Exemple : un film de 3 minutes coûte environ 15–30 $ chez filmaris plus environ 30–60 $ chez fal.ai (facturés sur votre clé fal.ai).

See the plans on the pricing page.

Step 1: Create a fal.ai account

Open fal.ai and click "Sign up". You can sign up with GitHub, Google or your e-mail address.

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.

fal.ai → Billing →

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.
