Describe what you need, pick a style, a mood and a format, and the plugin generates an image or a short video with your Clipwave account. The result is previewed in wp-admin and can be added to the Media Library in one click, or set straight away as the featured image of the post you are editing.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What you can generate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Images (photorealistic, cinematic, 3D render, flat illustration, watercolour, bold graphic, minimal, retro print) and five kinds of logo marks, in 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 or 3:4, one to four variations at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Short videos (cinematic, handheld UGC, product showcase, animated explainer, timelapse, aerial) of 4 to 15 seconds, 480p or 720p, with or without generated audio, in 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4 or 21:9.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Where you use it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Media &gt; Clipwave<\/strong>: a full page to compose a brief, generate, preview and import.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The editor<\/strong>: a \"Clipwave Video &amp; Image Maker\" box in the sidebar of posts and pages (any public post type with a featured image), with the option to set the result as featured image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Before you start: a Clipwave account and credits are required<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Generations run on Clipwave's servers and are paid with Clipwave credits; there is no free tier through the API. You need an account on <a href=\"https:\/\/clipwave.io\">clipwave.io<\/a>, credits on that account, and an API key created under Dashboard &gt; API keys. At the time of writing an image costs 50 credits and a video costs from 404 credits (4 seconds, 480p) to 3,405 credits (15 seconds, 720p); the exact cost is shown on the Generate button before you spend anything. Credits and pricing are managed on clipwave.io, not in the plugin.<\/p>\n\n<p>The plugin itself is free software (GPLv2 or later) and every feature in it works with any Clipwave account that has credits.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>A site administrator pastes the API key under Settings &gt; Clipwave. The key is stored in your WordPress database, shown masked, and can be removed at any time.<\/li>\n<li>Any user who can upload files (Authors and above by default) opens Media &gt; Clipwave or the editor box, describes the subject, chooses style, mood and format, and presses Generate.<\/li>\n<li>Your server sends the brief to the Clipwave API, then checks the job every few seconds until it is complete.<\/li>\n<li>The result is previewed. \"Add to Media Library\" downloads the file to your server and creates a regular attachment; for a post, \"Set as featured image\" does exactly that. Videos are imported as MP4 attachments when your site allows that file type; otherwise a download link is offered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Every result is also kept in your Clipwave dashboard, so nothing is lost if you close the page while a video is still rendering.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin is a client for the Clipwave API, a paid third-party service operated by Clipwave (https:\/\/clipwave.io). It is required for the plugin to do anything: without a Clipwave account, credits and an API key, no image or video can be generated.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Endpoint<\/strong>: <code>https:\/\/clipwave.io\/api\/v1<\/code> (requests are made from your web server with the WordPress HTTP API, never from the visitor's browser). Generated files are downloaded from <code>https:\/\/clipwave.io<\/code> (or from the storage Clipwave uses for a freshly finished job) when you press \"Add to Media Library\".<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What is sent, and when<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>When an administrator presses \"Verify key\" in Settings &gt; Clipwave: the API key (as an Authorization header). Nothing else.<\/li>\n<li>When a user presses \"Generate\": the API key, the prompt composed from the brief (subject, style, mood, format), and the generation settings (aspect ratio, number of images, duration, resolution, audio on\/off).<\/li>\n<li>While a generation is running: the API key and the job id, every few seconds, until the job completes or fails.<\/li>\n<li>When a user presses \"Add to Media Library\": the API key and the job id, then a download of the generated file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>No data about your site, its URL, its users, its content or its visitors is sent. Nothing is sent until an API key has been saved and a user explicitly performs one of the actions above. The plugin contains no analytics, no tracking and loads no external scripts, styles or images in wp-admin.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Terms of Service: https:\/\/clipwave.io\/terms<\/li>\n<li>Privacy Policy: https:\/\/clipwave.io\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the <code>clipwave-video-image-maker<\/code> folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install it from Plugins &gt; Add New.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n<li>Create a Clipwave account and add credits on https:\/\/clipwave.io, then create an API key under Dashboard &gt; API keys.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Settings &gt; Clipwave, paste the key and save.
