How credits work

Credits are used for AI tasks in WayinVideo. Some tasks are based on video length, while other generation tools may use credits when a new result is generated or applied.
Basic manual edits, such as trimming, layout changes, text overlays, and non-generated elements, do not use credits.

Free users may see two different types of credits. They are not interchangeable.

If a clipping or editor task asks you to upgrade while daily Video Notes credits are still available, the daily allowance cannot be used for that task.

AI Clipping, Game Clipping, and Find Moments all create video clip results, so they use clipping credits based on video length.

If you already used AI Clipping or Game Clipping on a video, then use Find Moments on the same video, the Find Moments task is treated as repeat clipping.
In this case, Find Moments uses 0.5 credit per input minute instead of 1 credit per input minute.
This is useful when you first create a general set of clips, then later want to search for something more specific, such as:

AI Notes is for understanding video content. One AI Notes task includes Video Summary, Transcript, and related notes without creating video clips.

Video Summary and Transcript are included in AI Notes and are not charged as separate tasks.

Some editor tools create new AI-generated content or apply AI-powered enhancements. These tools can use credits each time you generate or apply them.
The exact credit use can vary by feature, so this article does not list every editor tool as a separate credit formula.
Examples include:

Regenerating a result may start a new task and may use credits again, unless the previous task failed and did not deliver a completed result.

Basic editor actions do not use credits because they do not generate new AI results.
Examples include:

These edits are available to all users and do not use credits.

Current and Legacy monthly subscriptions receive credits each month based on their subscription credit date. Unused monthly credits do not roll over to the next month.
Free signup credits are one-time and do not renew monthly. The separate daily Free allowance of 30 credits resets each day but can only be used for eligible Video Notes features.
In August 2026, WayinVideo issued the remaining undistributed credits for active Legacy annual subscriptions upfront for the rest of the current term. When those remaining credits have already been issued, they are not deposited again month by month during the same annual term.
If you are on Free or Starter and need more monthly credits, you can upgrade to a higher plan.
If you are already on Pro or Scale and your current Pack is not enough, you can upgrade your Pack. A higher Pack gives you more monthly credits while the rest of your plan benefits stay the same. Future renewals will use the upgraded Pack unless you change or cancel before the next renewal.
If you are on Scale and need a custom credit volume or higher-volume arrangement, talk to sales about the Enterprise plan.

To check your current balance:

The current balance shows what is available now. If you are checking when credits will be added again, also review your plan, subscription type, and billing-cycle information. A Legacy annual subscription that already received its remaining credits upfront will not receive the same credits again as a monthly deposit during that term.

If a task fails and does not deliver a completed result, the credits or usage allowance used by that task are returned.
For AI video generation, this means usage is returned if you do not receive a completed generated video that you can view.
For other individual AI features, credits are returned when that feature fails.
This is different from a completed result that you simply choose not to use. If you believe a completed result was unusable because of a product error, contact support with the project name, task type, approximate time, and any error message or screenshot.
