Pricing and limits
Price per second
A video costs 20 credits per second at 480p. A 60 second video costs 1,200 credits. At 768p and 1080p the price rises by the clips’ extra cost. The price covers every step: storyboard, design, keyframes and animation.
- When the video starts, its price is held from the balance. When the workspace lacks the credits, the request returns
402and nothing is created or charged. - When it is completed, the held price is charged.
- When it fails, only what the providers already did is charged; the rest goes back. A retry holds what is left of the price, so a video never costs more than one video, however many tries it takes.
Another aspect ratio
A finished video made again in another aspect ratio (Change a video) costs 15 credits per second at 480p, with the same rise at 768p and 1080p. Only its keyframes and clips are made again; the storyboard, design and narration are reused. A 60 second video in a second ratio costs 900 credits. It is held when POST /v1/videos/{id}/generate starts it, and charged and returned like a video; a PATCH alone charges nothing. Switching back to a ratio already made, and audio track changes, are free.
credits on the video shows held, used (charged) and returned (held but not charged), over the video and every change of it. In your transaction history a video reads as one charge. While videos run, the billing page shows the credits held for them.
Plans
The Video API is included on the Creator and Pro plans. 768p and 1080p follow the plan’s video quality. See Billing for the plans and how credits work.
