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

Updated this week

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
