The full rundown
Questions,
answered.
Kits, directing, Premiere Tickets, privacy, and what happens after you call cut. If your question is not here, a real human is waiting on the support page.
Getting started
What is Flixkit?
Flixkit turns time together into a real little movie. Pick a kit—a short screenplay with a handful of scenes—record each scene on your phone, and let Flixkit turn the takes into a finished film with a title, poster, soundtrack, and credits.
How does a kit work?
Each kit gives you a story, roles, scene prompts, lines, camera guidance, and simple stage directions. The app moves the director through one short scene at a time, so the activity has structure without feeling like homework.
What do I need to film?
A phone, the Flixkit app, and a willing cast are enough. Kits are designed around ordinary homes, yards, and objects, and each detail page tells you about any useful location or prop before you start.
How many people do we need?
Cast size varies by story and is listed on the kit detail page. Friends and family can take roles, and the director can adapt small parts when the group is a little larger or smaller than the suggested cast.
What ages is Flixkit for?
Flixkit is designed for families to make together, with an adult holding the account. Reading confidence, attention span, and enthusiasm matter more than a precise age; grown-ups can read lines aloud or help younger performers through a scene.
How long does a film take to make?
Most kits fit into an afternoon, but there is no stopwatch on the set. The kit page shows an estimated finished-film length, and you can take breaks between scenes if your cast needs one.
On the set
Can we look through stories before creating an account?
Yes. Exploring kits and reading their public details is free. Create an account when you are ready to save a production and start recording in the app.
Do actors have to memorize their lines?
No. The app keeps the scene prompt and lines close at hand. Read them, paraphrase them, or do another take—the goal is a good memory, not a perfect audition.
Are retakes free?
Yes. Directing, filming, and retakes are free. Record the scene again until the director is happy, then choose the take you want to send to the edit.
Can we stop and finish another day?
Yes. An unfinished production stays in progress in your account. Come back to it when the cast is ready; a Premiere Ticket is only for finishing the movie, not for saving work in progress.
Should we film vertically or horizontally?
Follow the format shown on the kit detail page and in the app. Flixkit frames its prompts and finished edit around that format, so keeping the phone oriented consistently gives the cleanest result.
Can we change props, costumes, or locations?
Absolutely. The screenplay gives the production a backbone; your people, wardrobe, props, and locations give it personality. Keep the essential action of each scene and make the rest your own.
Tickets & production
How does pricing work?
Choosing a kit, directing, filming, and retakes are free. Use one Premiere Ticket only when you want Flixkit to cut, color, score, title, and finish the whole movie. There is no subscription.
Is the first film really free?
Yes. Every director starts with one free Premiere Ticket, so the first completed film can go all the way through production at no cost.
Do Premiere Tickets expire?
No. Tickets wait in your account until you are ready to finish a movie. You can buy one or a ticket book and use them whenever the next production happens.
Is a ticket for one person or the whole movie?
One Premiere Ticket finishes one complete movie for the whole cast and everyone who will watch it. It is never charged per actor, scene, retake, or viewer.
What does Flixkit add to the finished movie?
Flixkit assembles the selected takes, shapes the pacing, color grades the picture, adds a soundtrack and effects, then builds the title, poster, and credits that make it feel like a premiere.
What if rendering is interrupted?
A technical failure should never cost you a finished film. If a production does not complete or appear in your account, send support the production details and we will investigate the render and ticket status.
Your film library
Where does my finished film appear?
Finished films appear in the Premieres section of your account. Productions that still need scenes remain separate and clearly marked as in progress.
Can I keep and share my films?
Yes. You can watch a finished film in your account, download it, or share it with the people you choose. The movie is yours to keep.
What is the movie poster?
While making the film, the director creates a thumbnail that becomes its poster in the library. It helps every finished film and in-progress production feel like its own title.
Are our recordings private?
Yes. Accounts are held by adults and films are stored privately for that account. Flixkit does not sell film content, use children’s footage for advertising, or train models on it.
Can I delete a film or my account?
Yes. Finished films can be deleted from their action menu, and account deletion is available from account settings. Both actions ask for confirmation because they permanently remove personal work.
How do I get human help?
Send a ticket from the support page with the account email, production name, and what you expected to happen. A real person reads every request and usually replies within a day.
