Frequently Asked Questions
All apps and the Cinema 4D plugin are included with Pro Membership (Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime) at no extra cost. Ai Studio also offers a limited free version for Free members. Every app requires a CG Shortcuts account and sign-in to download and activate.
Tutorial Player works on any standard Windows PC — no special hardware required. Ai Studio runs generation on fal.ai's servers, so you don't need a powerful GPU on your machine.
Tutorial Player only needs internet for activation and licence checks — playback is entirely local. Ai Studio needs internet for cloud generation via fal.ai.
Tutorial Player is available to download from this page while signed in with a Monthly, Yearly, or Lifetime membership. Run the installer and activate on first launch. Ai Studio is coming soon — Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime members will get access when it launches. Both apps are self-contained Windows installers.
Your CG Shortcuts membership covers access to both apps — there are no per-app subscriptions. Tutorial Player has no ongoing costs. Ai Studio's cloud generation uses your own fal.ai account and credits — you pay fal.ai directly for what you generate.
Yes. Ai Studio uses fal.ai for cloud generation (images, video, audio, and 3D). You'll enter your own fal.ai API key on first launch — it's stored locally on your machine and never sent to CG Shortcuts. Cloud generation costs fal.ai credits.
It depends on which AI model you use in Ai Studio. Some models permit commercial use; others are free for personal use only. Ai Studio includes a licensing notice that tells you exactly which models are commercial-friendly and which are personal use only. When in doubt, check the in-app licensing section.
The apps follow the same terms as the CG Shortcuts plugin — licensed for your personal use on up to two registered devices. Sharing installers or account credentials is not permitted. See the Plugin Terms of Use for full details.
Tutorial Player is in active beta — it's downloadable and works, but you may encounter rough edges or the occasional bug. Ai Studio is coming soon and will launch in beta. Use Send feedback for bugs and quality notes, or live chat when you need help right away.
Yes — the plan is to keep adding tools that fit into a Cinema 4D artist's pipeline. Monthly, Yearly, and Lifetime members get access to everything new as it's released.
Post in the Help & Support area with your Windows version and a description of what's happening. Because these are beta releases I can't guarantee a fix for every configuration, but I'll do my best to help.
