How many credits a video costs

Every video has a price in credits. The app shows the price before you start, so you know what you will pay.

See the price before you generate

1. Open Video Story and set up your video.
2. Look at the Animation row. Each preset shows its price in credits. Select Compare tiers to see the presets side by side.
3. Look at the Generate Video button. It shows the price for your current settings.
4. Select Generate Video. If the Ready to create? window opens, check the price on Confirm & Generate, then select it. To skip this window next time, tick Don't show this warning again.

For a large animated video, the app may ask you to confirm the cost once more before it starts.

An explainer video has its own prices. See Make an explainer video.

How to read the price:

• Cost is the price you pay.
• approx., est. or a ~ sign means an estimate. The final cost can be different.

What changes the price

• Length: a longer video costs more. For an idea, this is the Duration you choose. For a script or a recording, the app measures the length for you.
• Animation preset: each preset has its own price. The Animation row shows them all.
• Resolution: a higher resolution costs more. With an animated preset, choose it in the Resolution menu under the presets. Mini makes 480p only. Fast and Pro go up to 1080p. Ultra goes up to 4K.
• Storyboard images: with No animation, Lite costs less than Detailed. The price shows next to each option.

The price updates when you change a setting.

How many videos your credits make

Compare the price on Generate Video with your balance. Your balance shows in the sidebar, and in the editor next to the coin icon. The price changes with your settings, so check the button each time.

One minute of video does not have one fixed price. The price changes with the preset, the resolution and the length. For a first idea of the cost:

• The Pricing page and the account page have the table How Much Video Do You Get? It shows the minutes of video that the monthly credits of each plan pay for, by animation type, at 480p. A note under it gives the price of a 1-minute Pro video at 480p and at 1080p.
• On a paid plan, a line under Credit balance on the account page shows about how much Pro video at 480p your balance makes.

Plan credits arrive each month, not each day. A plan does not set a number of videos. Each video that you generate costs its price, also when you generate the same idea again.

Prices without a paid plan

The create page shows prices before you subscribe. Without a paid plan, the price of a Mini, Fast or Pro video counts only two animated shots. This is a limit of the old free plan. A paid plan animates every shot, so the price for the same settings is higher after you subscribe. For the prices on a paid plan, use the table on the Pricing page. See What a free account includes.

If you do not have enough credits

When your balance is too low, Generate Video opens a window instead. Its title tells you how many more credits you need. In it you can:

• Choose a plan under Subscribe for monthly credits or Get more credits every month, or select See other plans. This list shows only plans that give more credits each month than your plan. On the biggest plan and on a yearly plan, it does not show.
• On a paid plan, buy a one-time pack under Or buy a one-time top-up.

To spend less instead, make the video shorter or choose a cheaper preset. See Buy more credits and Compare plans and upgrade.

Changes in the editor

Some changes in the editor make new images or video, for example animating a card or adding a shot. These cost credits too. The editor shows the cost before you confirm.

To keep costs down, you can make a storyboard first with No animation. Review the images, then animate only the cards you like from the editor. See Choose a video length and preset.
