How credits work

What a video costs, why longer videos cost more, and how top-ups roll over.

Every generation charges credits from your balance. Storyboard-only drafts are free; HD motion rendering, images, music and caricatures each cost a fixed number of credits per output.

Standard costs

Standard 5-second video: 3 credits. Standard 10-second video: 6 credits. AI image, caricature and background replacement: 1 credit each. One minute of AI music: 2 credits. Premium video models are billed dynamically based on their real API cost — the exact charge is shown before you confirm the generation.

Monthly allowances

Free includes 6 credits (~2 standard 5s videos). Creator $29/mo includes 75 credits (~25 videos). Pro $79/mo includes 240 credits (~80 videos). Agency $199/mo includes 600 credits (~200 videos). Renewals apply the current allowance at your next billing date without resetting any unspent balance.

Top-ups

One-time packs available anytime: 20 credits for $12, 50 for $27, 120 for $59, or 300 for $135. Top-ups never expire.

Before you generate

Every generation screen shows the exact credit charge, your current balance, the remaining balance after the run, the selected model, duration and resolution — plus a reminder that failed renders are refunded automatically.

Failed renders

Credits used for failed generations are automatically restored when no usable output is delivered. This covers text-to-video, image-to-video, Star Moments, AI images, caricatures, AI music, AI Music Videos, background replacement and premium models. Restored credits appear as a positive entry in your credit history, linked to the original deduction. Restored generation credits are not a cash refund — subscription payments and monetary refund requests are handled separately under the Refund Policy.
