01This is the flip
Use Omnia, not Character 3

Everyone's viral clip said Character 3. On Hedra's own model page today that one reads Free tier: No at 8 credits a second.

Hedra Omnia reads Free tier: Yes. Same company, and the free one is now the better one.

02Omnimodal
Feed it all three inputs

Hedra describes Omnia as generating video “from a single reference image, an audio track, and a text prompt.” Most people skip the prompt and wonder why it looks stiff. The prompt is what buys you the performance.

03The upgrade
Direct the shot, not the face

Omnia gives “direct control over camera movement, subtle facial expressions, and backgrounds while maintaining consistent lip-sync.” So write the prompt like a director: the move, the light, the room. Not just the emotion.

04The real limit
Build around the 8 seconds

Max duration is 8s per clip at 15 credits / second, so a clip costs about 120 credits. Do not fight it.

Script in 8-second beats and cut between them, which is what a good short does anyway.
