Credits System
Understand how credits work in GenX
How Credits Work
GenX uses a credit system to provide flexible, pay-as-you-go video generation. Credits are consumed each time you generate a video.
Credit Usage
Standard Generation (Image to Video, Text to Video)
| Video Duration | Credits Used |
|---|---|
| 3-5 seconds | 5 credits |
| 6-15 seconds | 10 credits |
| 16-30 seconds | 20 credits |
Reference Video
Reference Video requires additional processing, so it uses more credits:
| Video Duration | Credits Used |
|---|---|
| 3-5 seconds | 8 credits |
| 6-15 seconds | 15 credits |
| 16-30 seconds | 25 credits |

Credit Tips
Maximize Your Credits
-
Test with short videos first - Use 3-5 second videos to test prompts and settings before committing to longer durations.
-
Refine prompts before generating - Take time to craft your prompts carefully to avoid wasted generations.
-
Use reference videos for consistency - While they cost more per video, reference videos can save credits by reducing the need for multiple attempts.
-
Choose the right duration - Don't default to maximum length if a shorter video will suffice.
When Credits Are Consumed
Credits are only consumed when:
- Generation completes successfully
- You download or save the video
Credits are NOT consumed when:
- Generation fails (credits are refunded)
- You're previewing settings
- You're uploading content
