Credits help you use AI video, Split, and other creation workflows in a predictable way. This guide focuses on included credits for AI and content work—not every billing detail for your entire workspace.

What credits mean for AI video and content

Credits are Flikly's usage unit for eligible creation, generation, processing, and AI-powered workflows. They help keep usage predictable across different models and content workflows.

Credits are not video minutes.

The exact credit usage can vary by workflow, selected model, duration, resolution, media type, and plan.

Free credits are one-time included credits. Paid plan credits refresh at the start of each billing period.

What can use credits

Some actions may use credits depending on your selected workflow and plan.

AI video generation

Text-to-video and related generation workflows where available on your plan.

Image-to-video workflows

Animating or extending visuals from a reference image.

Split and clip processing

Repurposing longer videos into short-form clips.

Captioning and processing

Caption or content processing steps where your workflow supports them.

Higher-quality or longer output

Longer duration, higher resolution, or heavier processing when available.

Other AI-powered creation

Eligible creation actions depending on selected workflow and plan.

Included credits vs add-on credits

Included credits

  • Come with your plan.
  • Free included credits are one-time credits.
  • Paid included credits refresh each billing period and do not roll over.

Add-on credits

  • Purchased separately from Billing when available for your plan.
  • Expire 12 months from purchase or at end of subscription, whichever is earlier.

What happens when credits run low

  • Review your usage from Billing or plan and usage areas where available.
  • Wait until your next billing period for included credits to refresh on paid plans.
  • Buy add-on credits from Billing when available for your plan.
  • Upgrade if you need more included credits or higher limits.
  • Running low on credits does not remove content you have already created, scheduled, or published.

How credits relate to model choice

  • Different models and workflows can use credits differently.
  • Higher-quality, longer, or more processing-heavy workflows may use more credits.
  • Some models or quality settings may be plan-gated.

Tips to use credits wisely

Start with shorter drafts

Test ideas before committing credits to longer or higher-quality output.

Use the right model

Match the model and workflow to your goal instead of defaulting to the heaviest option.

Review prompts first

Small prompt changes can reduce wasted regenerations.

Use image-to-video for consistency

Helpful when a specific visual should carry through to the clip.

Split when repurposing

Turn long recordings into multiple clips instead of generating everything from scratch.

Save what works

Keep strong prompts, settings, and versions you may reuse.

Avoid repeat runs

Change the prompt or settings before generating again with no clear reason.

Common issues

Do credits roll over?
Included plan credits do not roll over. Unused included credits reset at the start of each billing period on paid plans.
Why did Free not refresh this month?
Free includes one-time credits. Those included credits do not refresh monthly like paid plan credits.
Why did my credits reset?
On paid plans, included credits refresh at the start of each billing period—not on the first calendar day of the month unless that matches your billing cycle.
Why did a workflow use credits?
Eligible AI-powered creation, generation, processing, or media workflows may use credits depending on workflow, model, duration, resolution, and plan.
Can I buy more credits?
Add-on credit packs may be available from Billing when available for your plan.
Are credits the same as video minutes?
No. Credits are usage units, not video minutes.
