What are video minutes and how do we count them for videos created on version 3?

Updated over a week ago

Video minutes are used when you create videos using 'stock' and 'generative' media. So, if your video is 1 minute long, you’ll use 1 video minute and 7 credits (if the video is created using generative media as well).


For example, if you create a 3-minute video

  • On the Max or Generative plan with 200 video minutes, you’ll have 197 minutes remaining.

  • On the Plus plan with 50 video minutes, you’ll have 47 minutes remaining.

Here's how we round off the minutes:

Video Duration

Rounded To

0 min 1 sec - 1 min 29 sec

1 video minute

1 min 30 sec - 2 min 29 sec

2 video minutes

2 min 30 sec - 3 min 29 sec

3 video minutes

3 min 30 sec - 4 min 29 sec

4 video minutes

4 min 30 sec - 5 min 29 sec

5 video minutes and so on
