Rendering a base video from your photos uses one video credit. Your plan includes a set number of them, which is how many new listing videos you can generate in that billing period.
What doesn't use a video credit matters just as much
- Editing in AutoReel Studio. AutoReel says Studio renders are unlimited and don't use video credits.
- Adding branding, music, intros and outros to a video you've already generated.
- Downloading or sharing a finished video.
In practice, one credit covers one property video, and you can rework that video as often as you need. Video credits are separate from AI credits. Video credits create videos.
AI credits cover extra photo edits (including virtual staging) or extra video effects beyond what your plan includes. If you're trying AutoReel out, the free plan lets you create two videos a month with an AutoReel watermark and no credit card. Paid plans remove the watermark and start with a 7-day free trial.
Check the pricing page for current plan allowances, since they can change. One more thing: rendering the base video can't be undone, so check your photo selection, order, orientation and camera motion before you click Render.
