InVideo AI Credits Per Video: How Many Do You Need?

Demystifying InVideo AI: How Many Credits Do You Actually Need Per Video?

If you have ever stared at an AI video generation prompt wondering how fast your monthly allowance will disappear, you are not alone. InVideo AI operates on a credit-based system, meaning every script generation, voiceover, image, and video clip eats into a shared pool.

Because video models charge dynamically based on factors like resolution, duration, and the specific AI model chosen, calculating how many credits you need per video requires looking under the hood.

How InVideo AI Credits Are Calculated

Unlike platforms that charge a flat fee per video, InVideo AI prices its generation models per second or per asset. The total cost for a video clip generally follows this formula:

$$text{Total Cost} = text{Credits per Second} times text{Video Duration (seconds)}$$

Several key elements drive up the credit cost:

• Resolution: Standard definitions are cheap, but jumping to 1080p or 4K significantly scales up the cost per second.
• Model Selection: Advanced video models (such as higher-tier Seedance variants) cost more credits than draft or fast modes.
• Auxiliary Assets: Generating custom images (like Nano Banana Pro), AI voice cloning, script-writing agents, and background music all deduct individual amounts from your balance.
• Manual Editing is Free: Good news—using InVideo’s timeline editor to trim, split, cut, or rearrange clips manually does not cost any credits. You only pay when AI does the heavy lifting.

To figure out how many credits go into a complete video, it helps to look at typical generation averages:
