The arithmetic of one video

A 30-second video is really six five-second shots. On short low-resolution shots, four credits each, that is 24 credits. On the heavy engine, 15 credits a shot, it is 90. On the basic pack a credit costs 20 cents, on the large pack about 17, so the same video costs roughly $4.80 to $18. Narration and a song add little; a whole song is one credit. And the images the shots are animated from cost a credit or two each.

Credits versus a subscription

A subscription bills every month, including the month you made nothing, and one tool is not enough for a video: you need video, images, voice and music, each with its own subscription. Credits behave the opposite way: you buy once, and each creation draws a known amount. Anyone who creates in bursts, before a holiday, a launch or a campaign, pays only for those bursts.

How not to waste credits

Low resolution while you are still searching for the scene, full resolution only once the shot works. Animate an image you already approved, instead of asking the engine to invent a scene from text and hoping. And do not ask for text inside the video, because it comes out garbled and costs another shot. Add the wording in the edit.

Common questions

How much does it cost to make an AI video?

A 30-second video usually costs 24 to 90 credits, so about $4.80 to $18 on the basic pack, depending on the engine and resolution. A single shot starts at two credits.

How do I pay?

You buy a credit pack, and each creation takes from the balance only the price shown before you clicked.

What happens if a generation fails?

If no file came out, the credits return to your balance automatically. A generation that came out but that you did not like is not refunded, because AI engines are probabilistic.

How do I know the price in advance?

The price is shown next to the button before you click and updates live with the engine, length and resolution. In a whole film, every stage is shown for approval with its price.
