Frequently asked questions
When are minutes deducted?
Every time you render a video. Editing and preview do not consume minutes, but re-rendering the same project charges again. Deleting a project does not refund minutes.
Do monthly minutes roll over?
On monthly billing, unused minutes expire at cycle end. Annual Creator plans receive the full year’s minutes upfront to use anytime in the term.
How do I buy more minutes?
Paid subscribers top up in My Profile—typically $2/min custom or preset packs (e.g., 5 minutes for $12.50 on Creator).
Is commercial use allowed?
Paid plans support commercial use with watermark-free exports. Enterprise adds governance features for larger deployments.
