Important Notes
Credit Consumption
Credits are deducted when generation starts, not when it completes. Failed generations may still consume credits depending on processing stage.
Generation Time
Higher quality videos take longer to generate. Plan accordingly for time-sensitive projects.
Batch Processing
Generate multiple videos in parallel to save time, but monitor your credit balance to avoid interruptions.
