Words you will hear

Prompt
The words you type to describe what you want made.
Credits
What every generation costs. The price shows on the Generate button before you press it, and a failed run gives them back.
Relax
A free, slower queue on selected models. Included on every plan, no daily cap.
Model
The AI engine that makes the image or video. Each is good at something different.
Studio
A guided workspace that runs a whole job, like a film or an ad, from start to finish.
Reference
A picture the model copies a look from: a face, a product, an outfit.
Character
A saved person (or creature) with reference photos, so the face stays the same everywhere.
Element
A saved product, place, prop or outfit you can attach to any prompt.
@mention
Type @ and a saved name in a prompt to bring that character or element along.
Upscale
Make a finished image or video sharper and bigger.
LoRA
A small model you train on your own photos to teach the AI a face or a style.
Sensei
Our AI director. Describe the job and it plans, prices, makes and reviews the work.

Questions

Do I need any experience?
No. Start to finish takes you from zero to a finished film and ad in 10 lessons: where everything is, your first video, your own character, then a film. Each lesson shows what to click, what to type and why.
Is Dojo Academy free?
Every lesson is free to watch and read. Making things in the tools uses your PixelDojo credits, and Relax mode runs selected models for free on every plan.
How long does it take?
About 51 minutes of video across 29 lessons. Most lessons are under two and a half minutes, plus the time you spend making.
How do belts work?
Every lesson has a level: White belt (beginner), Green belt (intermediate) or Black belt (pro). Finish every lesson of a level and you earn that belt. Sign in and your progress saves on every device.
What does Try it do?
It opens the exact tool the lesson uses, with the lesson's prompt or preset already filled in, so you go from watching to making in one click.

Your first film is 10 lessons away.
