FAQ

Who can apply?

Anyone seriously building independent entertainment with AI can apply. You don't need thousands of followers or a large audience. We're looking for visionary builders who want to create lasting studios not just viral content. Quality, ambition, and long-term commitment matter more than audience size.

Do I need to publish exclusively on Cinivai?

No. We encourage creators to continue using YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, and other social platforms. Think of those platforms as places where audiences discover you. Cinivai is where your studio lives.

Do I own my films and intellectual property?

Yes. You retain ownership of your intellectual property. Cinivai does not claim ownership of your films, stories, characters, or studio. Your creations remain yours.

Can I choose how my content is monetized?

Yes. Unlike traditional streaming platforms, you control how your studio earns. Examples include free releases, paid rentals, lifetime purchases, premium premieres, pay-what-you-want, crowdfunding, merchandise, and licensing. Cinivai provides the infrastructure. You choose the business model.

Why is there a Founding Studio limit?

The first 20 studios will directly influence the future of the platform. We want close collaboration during the early stages rather than thousands of anonymous users. This is about building the Studio Economy together.

What happens after all 20 places are filled?

The Founding Studio Program closes forever. New creators will still be able to join Cinivai, but they will not receive Founding Studio status or its lifetime benefits. The first 20 studios become a permanent part of Cinivai's history.

What does Lifetime Membership include?

Lifetime membership includes permanent access to all Studio Pro features available under the Founding Studio program. Future enterprise products, third-party services, or optional premium offerings may be introduced separately, but your Founding Studio membership and its included Studio Pro benefits will never expire.

Why should I join now instead of waiting?

Because the first generation of creators won't simply publish content. They'll define how the Studio Economy is built. Founding Studios receive permanent recognition, and the opportunity to shape the platform from day one.
