Credits Explained
How credits work and what each action costs.
What are credits?
Credits are the currency for generating images and videos on Melodious AI. 100 credits = $1.00.
Plans

Credit costs
Credits scale with video duration at 20 credits per second:
| Video length | Scenes | Total credits | Image stage | Video stage | |-------------|--------|---------------|-------------|-------------| | 30s (Clip) | 4 | 600 | ~48 | ~552 | | 60s (Standard) | 8 | 1,200 | ~96 | ~1,104 | | 2 min (Extended) | 15 | 2,400 | ~192 | ~2,208 | | 3 min (Full) | 23 | 3,600 | ~288 | ~3,312 |
| Other actions | Cost | |--------------|------| | Audio analysis + storyboard | Free | | Regenerate single keyframe | ~12 credits |
Stage-based billing
Credits are reserved in two stages, not all at once:
- Generate Images reserves ~8% of total credits. You can review the keyframes before proceeding.
- Generate Videos reserves the remaining ~92%. This is the expensive step.
If generation fails, credits are automatically refunded.
Free tier limits
- One 30-second Clip generation (600 credits)
- Videos include a Melodious AI watermark
- Longer durations (Standard, Extended, Full) require a paid plan
