How does the credit system work on invideo?

Updated today

We’ve simplified how usage is measured on invideo.

Credits are invideo's internal currency, and they're used each time you create or edit a video. The number of credits used depends on how long your video is and what kind of content you include, like AI actors, express clones, or just stock footage.

Credits are charged at the time of video creation, based on the duration of your video (calculated per second).

💡 Note:

You can create videos either with an actor from our library or with your own cloned AI avatar, or even without one. Additionally, by default, each ad is limited to a minimum duration of 30 seconds.


Here's a breakdown of how the credits are utilised:

Creating ads or videos using "Generative" media (AI-generated videos)

🤓 Good to know:

Suppose you edit a video created using our remix feature, whether by modifying the generated media or adding more chapters from the Script section or changing the media duration. Here's how credits will be utilised: 1 image = 0.2 credits, a 5-second clip = 1.67 credits, and a 3-second clip = 1 credit.
