How are credits charged?

Other AI-generated Videos

Video generation costs are calculated as: clip length (in seconds) × per‑second rate. For example, with a model charging 5 credits/second: a 3‑second clip costs 15 credits, a 5‑second clip costs 25 credits, an 8‑second clip costs 40 credits, and a 12‑second clip costs 60 credits. The per‑second rate is displayed underneath each model option when selecting a video model.

The same applies to video generations: if a video generation fails outright, no credits are charged for that failed attempt.

AI-generated Images

Image generation costs are calculated as per-image, and resolution chosen. The per‑image rate is displayed underneath each model option when selecting a image model. The default resolution is costing the lower rate.

AI-generated Music

Music generation costs are calculated as: clip length (in seconds) × per‑minute rate. For example, with a model charging 5 credits/minute: a 3‑minutes clip costs 15 credits, a 5‑minutes clip costs 25 credits, and an 8‑minutes clip costs 40 credits. The per‑minute rate is displayed underneath each model option when selecting a music model.

Sound Effects (SFX)

Generating any SFX costs 2.5 credits/generation.

Speech

• 10 credits/minute of speech generated.

  • For example, a 10 minute podcast will cost 100 credits, and a 25 minute podcast will cost 250 credits.

  • The charge is the same for generations in standard mode and Convo Mode, both costing 10 credits/minute of speech generated.

• Parrot mode costs 20 credits/minute of speech generated.

• Director mode costs 20 credits/minute of speech generated.

• Failed generations: Failed Convo Mode generation attempts (due to alignment errors or upstream model issues) do not consume credits for the failed render itself. However, credits may still be charged for individual voice/speech generations made while building the script and previewing voices before the final render attempt.

Credits are only charged when audio generation succeeds. If voice generation fails, no credits are deducted and you can retry at no cost.

Wonda Messages

Each message with Wonda costs credits. Credits charged are variable depending on the complexity of the task you asked Wonda to do, and what model you selected

• For example, saying "Hello" to Wonda results in negligible credits used, but asking to create a 20-min video with specific instructions will consume a lot more

• In terms of models:

  • Claude is the best model for complex video creation tasks and is the most expensive.

  • GPT is best for routine video creation tasks and is cheaper than Claude.

  • Minimax is best for simple video creation tasks and is the cheapest.

• Example of actions that cost credits:

  • Generating speech/narration audio

  • Generating AI images

  • Generating AI Video clips or Avatar Videos (these are the most expensive)

  • Generating new music with AI

  • Chatting with Wonda — planning, outlining, brainstorming, script writing in chat

  • Wonda reading/inspecting your existing project

  • Creating empty placeholder clips on the timeline

  • Adding music clips from the library to your timeline or deleting them

Upscaling visual assets

When you export in a higher resolution, we would offer to upscale the visual assets that are lower resolution. You can choose the assets you wish to upscale, or skip upscaling them.
