Credit System
Overview
The Credit System in ACT 3 AI is a flexible virtual currency model that allows you to pay only for the AI features, render durations, and output qualities you use. Credits are deducted in real time whenever you generate previews, perform full renders, or use premium AI tools such as Google Veo 3, WAN AI, or Runway Integration.
Credits can be part of a monthly subscription plan or purchased on demand through pay-as-you-go top-ups.
Key Features
- Universal Usage: Credits work across all rendering engines and integrations.
- Real-Time Tracking: See your credit balance at the top of the dashboard and in the Credits Panel.
- Flexible Spending: Choose quality levels and rendering engines to control credit consumption.
- Team Sharing: Pool credits across an organization for collaborative projects.
How Credits Are Used
Credits are consumed when you:
- Generate AI previews in the Editor workspace
- Render final-quality videos via Build Video
- Run Google Veo 3 or Runway Integration tasks
- Host real-time WAN AI collaboration sessions
- Export advanced outputs (4K video, multi-language dubs, extended takes)
Credit Consumption Factors
Credit usage varies based on:
- Resolution (Draft, Medium, High, 4K)
- Render Length (per second or per minute)
- Engine Type (Google Veo 3, WAN AI, Runway)
- Feature Add-ons (e.g., advanced color grading, multi-language dubs)
Example Credit Usage
| Feature | Draft (1080p) | High (1080p) | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preview Render (per 10s) | 1 credit | 2 credits | 4 credits |
| Full Render (per 10s) | 3 credits | 5 credits | 10 credits |
| Google Veo 3 (per 10s) | 4 credits | 6 credits | 12 credits |
