How Credits Work
- Treatment generation consumes credits when the AI plans your video.
- Scene generationconsumes credits for each scene's image and video generation.
- Scene regeneration consumes additional credits per-scene when retrying or regenerating.
- Analysis does not consume credits.
- Making the film — assembly and export — costs one credit, and it is taken when the film comes out, not when you press the button. A render that fails costs you nothing, and there is nothing to claim back. Re-rendering a cut whose deliverables already came from it costs nothing either, because nothing is made.
- Credit checks happen before the work begins. If you don't have enough credits, the operation is blocked with a clear error message — including approving an edit plan, which is refused if the plan costs more than your account holds and tells you how many more you need.
Billing Period
Credits are allocated at the start of each monthly billing period and tracked against a billing window. The billing summary shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| plan | Current plan name (free, creator, studio) |
| credits_remaining | How many credits you have left |
| billing_period_start | When the current billing period started |
| billing_period_end | When credits will reset |
