Credits System
Why Credits Matter
Credits are your creative currency. Understanding how they work means the difference between running out mid-project and having exactly what you need when inspiration strikes.
The bottom line: Different operations cost different credits. Plan accordingly.
How Credits Work
Simple concept: Every creative task costs credits based on how much AI processing it requires.
The math:
Simple operations = fewer credits
Complex operations = more credits
Video always costs more than images

Making premium videos for drafts
Generating one image at a time when you need variations
Forgetting about credit costs when experimenting
Credit Math Examples
Freelancer Scenario (500 credits):
400 images for client work
4 premium videos for key campaigns
Total: 400 + (4 × 50) = 600 credits (need 100 more)
Agency Scenario (1,500 credits):
1,000 images across all campaigns
20 standard videos for social media
Total: 1,000 + (20 × 25) = 1,500 credits (perfect fit)
The Reality Check
Most underestimate: How quickly video credits add up
Most overestimate: How many images they actually need
Best approach: Track your usage for the first month, then adjust your plan
