- Wizshot 1.0 is Wizstar's first in-house reference-to-video model.
- The model generates 720p landscape and portrait videos from 5 to 15 seconds.
- Users can provide up to nine reference images and generate up to four videos.
- Credit Mode costs 5 Credits per second, according to Wizstar.
- The model is available to all logged-in Wizstar users without a paid membership.
A model built around quality and cost
Wizstar, an AI-powered content creation platform, said Wizshot 1.0 was developed and trained from the ground up. The model is designed to balance video quality with generation cost, an issue the company links to the growing use of AI video in marketing, e-commerce and social media.
According to Wizstar, lower generation costs can support more creative experimentation, content iteration and large-scale production. The company says Wizshot 1.0 achieves quality comparable to leading models including Wan 3.0 and MiniMax H3, while offering a 72% lower generation cost than Seedance 2.0.
Video consistency and reference controls
Wizstar says Wizshot 1.0 is optimized across several aspects of video generation, including audio-visual synchronization, prompt adherence, content extrapolation coherence and physical plausibility. It also focuses on product consistency, human identity consistency and realistic human appearance in static and dynamic scenes.
The model supports up to nine reference images for each generation. Users can create 720p landscape and portrait videos between 5 and 15 seconds long, with up to four videos per generation. Wizstar positions these functions for social media videos, marketing campaigns, product storytelling and commercial content.
Access and generation modes
Wizstar offers two ways to use the model. In Unlimited Mode, eligible subscribers can generate videos without consuming Credits during the applicable benefit period. In Credit Mode, videos cost 5 Credits per second and receive higher queue priority for faster processing.
Wizshot 1.0 is available to all logged-in Wizstar users without a paid membership. Eligible annual and Plus Monthly subscribers or above can also receive limited-time Unlimited generation benefits, subject to their plan terms. The company says Wizshot 1.0 is now available.
Why the launch matters for Wizstar
The release expands Wizstar's proprietary AI work beyond its use of leading third-party models. The company says developing in-house models is intended to give it greater control over video quality, generation costs and creative workflows.
Wizstar is also continuing to expand its AI creation ecosystem across video generation, image creation, digital avatars and marketing tools. For users, the launch provides a reference-based video tool with multiple output formats and a stated lower generation cost, while businesses can use the available controls for repeated content production and product-focused videos.
