## What it costs

These are credits per clip, as of 2026-10-10. The Studio shows the live quote for your settings before you generate, and the total it charges is that quote multiplied by **Count**.

| Length | 720p, sound off | 1080p, sound off | 720p, sound on | 1080p, sound on |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 4 s | 221 | 368 | 368 | 613 |
| 6 s | 331 | 552 | 552 | 919 |
| 8 s | 441 | 735 | 735 | 1,225 |

The Studio starts with sound on, so the first quote you see is the sound-on price. Switch sound off to pay the lower price.
