Every year we open the hall to let Viral Day in for people who've never tried it — and to reward the creators who use the platform every day. After May's Jupiter-Mars-Week, June showed up smelling like a bonfire: welcome to Arraiá Real, six straight days of free video processing on Viral Day, in full Brazilian June-festival mood.
The idea is the usual one: you paste the link, the AI watches the video, hands you back clips ready for Reels, Shorts and TikTok — and during this week, you pay zero credits for it, within a cadence that scales with your plan. This post walks through how the event actually works, the pace of each plan, and how to squeeze the most out of the bonfire.
When the window is open
The Arraiá Real window is fixed and runs on Brasília time:
- Start: Monday, June 1, 2026, at 00:00 BRT
- End: Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 23:59 BRT
Six straight days. Before midnight on the 1st, everything follows the regular credit flow. After 23:59 on the 6th, same deal — the bonfire goes out and credit billing resumes as usual.
Practical tip: if you want to grab the very first minute, create your account and stay logged in ahead of time. The switch happens at midnight and the hall opens the next second.
How much each plan can process for free
In Arraiá Real, every plan gets 1 video at a time, for free — what changes is the cadence at which the queue releases the next one. The better your plan, the faster the party moves:
| Your plan | Free videos | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| No plan | 1 video | every 12 hours |
| Lite | 1 video | every 6 hours |
| Creator | 1 video | every 3 hours |
| Viral | 1 video | every 1 hour |
And regardless of plan, one important rule holds: you can only have 1 video processing at a time in the free flow. While your current video is being downloaded, transcribed or clipped, the button to create the next one stays disabled. It's there so the queue doesn't get clogged for everyone on the GPU side — the bonfire belongs to everybody.
Is there a duration cap? Yes — 3 hours per clip on fair use
During Arraiá Real, each video processed under the free flow can have at most 3 hours of selection. So if you paste a 5-hour podcast and want to clip the segment from hour 5 to hour 10, that's 5 hours of selection — it won't fit in free usage.
Why? Simple math: processing 5h of video on the cloud costs almost 2x the GPU time of 2h, and we need to keep the infrastructure healthy so everyone can generate clips all party long.
The way around it is what we call the opt-out: you toggle "Use my credits" before generating, and the AI processes the full window using credits normally. The flow keeps going, you don't have to wait — you just pay like you would outside the event. That same opt-out also helps when your free cadence hasn't unlocked yet and you don't want to wait for the next window.
The global 10-hour selection cap per video (which applies year-round, event or not) still holds. Source videos longer than 10 hours are also blocked under any circumstances, except Twitch VODs.
No coupon, no card
Unlike a typical promo, Arraiá Real has no coupon to type and no card to register. Within the event window, free processing is automatic: you sign in, paste the link, and generate. If your cadence hasn't unlocked yet, the app tells you when your next free video will be available — no hidden fine print, no surprise charges.
How to get the most out of the party
A few tactics that worked well in previous events:
Prep your backlog the Sunday before (May 31). List 10 to 15 long videos you've got sitting around — old livestreams, podcasts, gameplays, talks, horizontal vlogs. Get the public links ready (YouTube, Twitch, Drive or direct upload) before the Monday switch.
Learn your plan's pace. If you're on Viral (1 video per hour), processing 1 video per hour during 12 daily hours across 6 days adds up to 72 processed videos. That's months of Reels and Shorts. Even with no plan, that's up to 2 videos a day — 12 across the whole party.
Set your brand kit on day one. Configuring once (colors, font, logo, watermark) means every clip during the week ships consistently — which boosts retention and brand recognition when you post in sequence.
Don't try to push giant livestreams through fair use. A 6-hour live or a marathon podcast is better split into two or three sessions of up to 3h each, or processed with your own credits (opt-out). You can't stuff 6h into a single free clip.
If the cadence hasn't unlocked, toggle "Use my credits." That's the shortcut. You don't get stuck waiting for the next window — you just pay normally. For anyone with spare credits, it's basically a temporary plan upgrade.
What it looks like inside the app
When you open Viral Day during the week, the create-video screen shows:
- A notice indicating when your next free video will be available, based on your plan's cadence;
- The "Use my credits" button to keep processing without waiting for the next window;
- An alert if you try to select more than 3h of window, suggesting either trimming the selection or flipping to your own credits;
- The status of your currently processing video — you can't start another until the current one finishes (in the free flow).
In every case, the app explains in plain language what happened and what your next move is. No hidden fine print, no surprise charges.
Wrap-up: join the party while the hall is open
Arraiá Real is Viral Day's June party — six straight days, cadence by plan, no coupon, no card, and the option to "unlock" the cap at any moment using your own credits. For anyone who's never tested the platform, it's the perfect chance to process a full content backlog at zero cost. For existing subscribers, it's basically a temporary plan upgrade for free.
If you don't have an account yet, create one now — that way you'll already be logged in when the event opens. If you're already a customer, set aside a podcast or live to paste at 12:01am on June 1 and watch the AI churn out the first clips of the party.
