Getting Started

This guide walks you through creating your account, connecting your first AI key, and getting your first workflow running.

1. Create your account

Click "Start for free" to create your account. Once you're signed in for the first time, you're taken straight into the Welcome wizard to set up your creative stack.

You can use 60 Minute Creator on your phone. On a phone you get the Dashboard, the Creative Studio tools, Templates and your Workflows list, where each workflow has a Run button. Building a workflow on the canvas and the Video Editor need a computer. If you open one of them on your phone, you'll see "Built for a bigger screen" with an "Email me the link" button that sends you a link to open it on your computer.

2. The Welcome wizard

The Welcome wizard is 6 short steps. Your progress is saved automatically after each step, so if you refresh the page or come back later, you pick up right where you left off. Every step after the first has a Back button, and steps 2 to 5 have a "Skip this step" link. Continue stays greyed out until you answer: your name on step 1 and a choice on steps 2 and 3 (if you pick Other on step 2, also type where). To move on without answering steps 2 or 3, use "Skip this step". The last step ends with "Let's go".

  1. What should we call you? Enter your name.
  2. How did you find us? Choose from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, Google, Referral, or Other.
  3. What do you create most? Choose from UGC & product ads, AI influencer, Faceless story videos, AI trends & skits, ASMR & satisfying clips, or Other. Click one of the first five choices to watch an example video next to the list. Your first workflow starts from the choice you pick. Other has no example video: if you pick it, you can type what you create (you don't have to), and you start with an empty workflow.
  4. A short explainer. Three quick panels show how it works: "One canvas runs your whole production. Build it once, hit Run forever."
  5. The built-in video editor. A full video editor is built in, free on every plan: trim clips, layer titles and audio, and export. On Pro, your AI agent can edit for you.
  6. Connect your first AI key. Everything runs on Atlas Cloud, so this is the only key you need. Watch the short video that shows how to create one, click "Get a key" to open Atlas Cloud's key page in a new tab, paste your key, and click "Save key". Atlas Cloud runs nothing on an empty account, so top up your balance there before your first run.

Your key is checked right away. If it isn't valid, you'll see "This key is not valid for Atlas Cloud. Check that you copied the full key." and it won't be saved. Once it's saved, you'll see a masked version of your key and "Your Atlas Cloud key is connected to your account."

"Let's go" works once your key is saved; if you saved one on an earlier visit, it works right away. If you'd rather add a key later, click "I'll do this later". The wizard finishes either way. If finishing does not work, for example because your connection dropped, a message under the key field says so: check your internet connection and try again, and reload the page if it keeps happening.

3. Your first workflow

As soon as you finish the wizard (whether or not you added a key), 60 Minute Creator creates one starter workflow for you. It is a copy of the template that matches what you said you create most, with its steps already laid out on the canvas for you to change. If you picked Other or skipped that step, you get an empty workflow called "My first workflow" instead. You land straight in that workflow's editor. On a phone you land in the Creative Studio instead, and your starter workflow waits in your Workflows list for when you're on a computer.

The first time you open the editor on a computer, a short guided tour points out the main controls: the canvas, adding steps, Run, and where Templates, the video Editor, Media, Influencer and Settings live. It ends with a link to the plans. Use Next and Back or the arrow keys, and skip it any time with "Skip tour" or Escape. It shows once.

4. The "Get set up" checklist

After the wizard, a small "Get set up" checklist appears on every page (bottom-right on desktop, top-right on mobile) until you've done all three things:

  1. Connect a provider key
  2. Start your subscription (from $25/mo)
  3. Run your first workflow

Each item links you straight to where you need to go next. The first one is ticked once you have saved an Atlas Cloud key. Once all three are done, the checklist stops appearing and you'll see a one-time "Setup complete. You're all set." message.

5. Start a subscription to run workflows

Building and saving workflows is free. To actually run one, you need an active subscription: "Running workflows needs a subscription, starting at $25/mo with a 7-day free trial. Building here is always free."

Every plan on the pricing page starts with "Start 7-day free trial" (if you have used your trial before, the button reads "Subscribe" and your plan starts right away). Plans start at Starter ($25/mo, or $20/mo billed annually at $240/yr), then Pro ($59/mo), Scale ($99/mo), and Studio ($199/mo). Starter includes the full node library and templates, running 2 workflows at once, 500 workflow runs a month, and 2 scheduled workflows. See Limits & Formats for the exact numbers on every plan.

Once you're subscribed, you're all set: connect your Atlas Cloud key, build your workflow, and hit Run.
