How credits work
What a video costs, when credits are taken, and when they come back.
100 credits make one finished minute of video. Credits come with your plan each month. You need at least 50 credits to start a video.
What a video costs
Each part of a video has its own rate, in credits:
| Part | Per finished minute | 10-minute video |
|---|---|---|
| Voiceover | 10 | 100 |
| B-roll footage | 75 | 750 |
| Motion graphics | 10 | 100 |
| Music | 5 | 50 |
| Total | 100 | 1,000 |
Parts you turn off cost nothing. A video with No graphics skips the graphics cost. A video from your own audio skips the voiceover, at 90 credits a minute.
When credits are taken
The cost on the review page is an estimate from the script’s length. When you press Generate video:
- The estimate is taken, plus 20% in case the voice reads slowly.
- Once the voiceover is recorded, the real length is known. Whatever wasn’t needed comes back.
You see each charge and refund on the video’s progress page, and in Analytics under Credit log.
When credits come back
| What happened | Credits back |
|---|---|
| A step failed | That step’s credits |
| A step never ran | That step’s credits |
| Footage was found for only part of the video | The part with no footage |
| You left the queue | All of them |
| You cancelled a build | Steps that hadn’t started. A step under way is charged. |
| An export failed or you stopped it | That export’s credits |
Editing costs
Most editing is free. These cost credits once the free ones on a video are used:
| Action | Free per video | After that |
|---|---|---|
| Draw again (a graphic) | 5 for every 3 minutes | 5 credits each |
| Regenerate a voice line | 10 for every minute | 1 credit each |
| Export | The first export | 1 credit per finished minute |
| Changing a graphic’s style or colours | Always free | — |
| Bingo requests | Set by your plan | 1 credit per 10 requests |
Every paid button shows its price before you press it.
Unused credits
Credits left at the end of the month roll over, up to one month’s worth of your plan’s credits. Credits aren’t sold on their own. For more, move to a bigger plan. See Plans and billing.
