Today, up to 3 minutes. Longer explainers arrive in stages: 20 minutes first, then 60, then longer. Until a length opens, it shows Coming soon in the app and here.

Yes. Paste your notes or a full script instead of a topic. You still approve the script before any picture is drawn.
Which looks can I use?
