How many credits does an AI video cost?
Price depends on two things: length and quality. A video of up to 5 seconds is 1 credit in Full HD; the longest, up to 20 seconds, is 4. 4K is double. Credits never expire.

How length is set
With a voiceover, length follows your script. With music only, the video is 8 seconds. You do not choose a length, so a short script costs less.
Talking photos
A talking photo is 4 or 8 seconds: 1 or 2 credits in Full HD, and 2 or 4 in 4K.
Packs
Credits come in packs from $9. There is no subscription, and the credits never expire. Create needs a credit pack; the free signup credit is for the video enhancer.
