Effect Video provides dedicated credit-based plans for transforming photos into cinematic visual effects, beginning at $19.9 per month or $19.9 for standalone packs. A standard Seedance 2 Mini 10-second 720p video uses 9 credits (approximately $1.50 to $5.97 per completed scene), and credits purchased through subscriptions, credit packs, or top-ups remain permanently in your balance with automatic rollover. Solo creators, established studios, and collaborative teams can produce ambitious visual stories at their own pace with complete peace of mind.

Pricing questions
Credits are charged per result. Failed generations return reserved credits.
What is the Welcome plan?
The Welcome plan is a special offer for new members at $23.25 per month, billed $279 a year. You receive 150 credits each month, enough to create about 16 standard Mini 10s 720p videos.
I am just starting out and want to try a few effects. What is the most accessible way to begin?
The $19.9 Preview pack offers an ideal starting point, providing 30 credits with zero recurring commitment. This allows you to generate about 3 standard effects or 7 short effects whenever you are ready. Because purchased pack credits never expire, you can experiment at your own pace without pressure to finish within the month.
Can I purchase credits as a one-time pack without committing to a monthly subscription?
Yes. Our one-time packs—Preview ($19.9), Collection ($49.9), Project ($199), and Campaign ($499)—deliver complete creative access with a single upfront payment. Every pack includes permanent credits that stay in your account until you use them, giving you complete flexibility for milestone-based projects.
What kind of monthly output does the $19.9 Starter subscription support?
The Starter plan provides 80 credits each month, which supports approximately 8 standard effects (like Hotel Lobby) or 20 short effects. If you post once or twice weekly, this gives you consistent creative power. Any credits you do not use roll over into the following month automatically, keeping your creative reservoir intact.
I produce short-form videos regularly for TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Which subscription fits my posting schedule?
For creators publishing 4 to 5 short clips weekly, the $49.9 Creator plan (210 credits) comfortably covers around 23 standard scenes or 52 short effects each month. If your posting volume scales higher or you run multiple channels, the $99.9 Pro plan (450 credits) delivers about 50 standard videos or 112 short effects. You can upgrade, downgrade, or rely on accumulated rollover credits as your schedule evolves.
What is the estimated cost per standard video or short effect across the different plans?
On the Starter monthly plan ($19.9 for 80 credits), a 9-credit standard video costs approximately $2.24, and a 4-credit short effect costs about $0.99. On the Team annual plan, that effective cost decreases to around $1.50 per standard video and $0.67 per short effect. One-time packs average between $4.08 and $5.97 per standard video, trading slightly higher unit costs for the freedom of zero recurring billing.
Why do credit requirements differ when I select different AI models or video durations in /generator?
Different underlying AI models, extended output durations, and higher rendering resolutions draw varying amounts of computational power. Inside the /generator workspace, the platform calculates the exact integer credit total required for your chosen settings and displays it clearly before you start. You always maintain full control over your balance prior to initiating any render.
When our team subscribes to an annual plan, are credits delivered upfront or distributed monthly?
Annual subscriptions provide their total credits across 12 monthly allotments matching your tier schedule (for example, 450 credits refreshed each month on Pro, totaling 5,400 credits across the year). Because unused credits roll over indefinitely, any unused balance continues to accumulate in your shared account without resetting.
I am just a few credits short of completing a video render. Must I upgrade my entire subscription?
You can purchase convenient top-up credits directly inside the platform from $6.9 for 10 credits, available in batches from 10 to 80 credits. These top-up credits also never expire, allowing you to complete your immediate scene smoothly and retain any surplus for future work. Your primary subscription plan remains unchanged.
Can our creative team share a single Effect Video account without paying separate user seat fees?
Yes. Multiple team members can log into a single Effect Video account and draw from the same centralized credit balance. We do not charge per-seat subscription fees or require individual member licenses. This shared setup offers an efficient and straightforward workflow for collaborative studios and production houses.
Can several team members render video effects at the exact same time from our shared account?
Yes. Effect Video places no artificial limits on concurrent generation requests within an account. Multiple collaborators can trigger renders simultaneously as long as sufficient credits remain in the shared balance. Each task processes in parallel through our rendering pipeline.
Does the Team plan include advanced workspace features such as role-based permissions or SSO?
The Team plan focuses purely on generous shared credit capacity (2,400 monthly credits) and unrestricted simultaneous rendering from a single login. Teams operate from a unified, shared account environment, without separate seat management, Single Sign-On (SSO), or individual member permissions. This keeps team onboarding immediate and administration frictionless.
If an AI video generation attempt encounters a system error or fails to render, do I lose my credits?
When an AI generation attempt fails to complete due to a technical error, the reserved credits are automatically restored to your account balance. You can adjust your input settings or prompt and retry with your balance intact. Once a generation successfully begins processing, it cannot be canceled mid-render.
What happens if a video render finishes successfully, but the artistic result requires fine-tuning?
AI video generation is inherently an iterative craft where visual styling can vary based on lighting, composition, and prompt cues. Credits cover the computational rendering of each completed attempt, so subsequent revisions draw credits according to the chosen model settings. We recommend reserving a portion of your monthly credit allowance for creative exploration and styling variations.
How long are my completed video effects preserved in my Effect Video account for download?
Generated video files are securely retained on Effect Video for 7 days following completion. We encourage you to download your finished MP4 files to local storage promptly upon review. While your video download window is 7 days, credits purchased through subscriptions, credit packs, or top-ups remain permanent and never expire.
How does Effect Video compare in value to platforms like Runway, Kling, or Pollo AI?
Effect Video specializes in high-impact photo-to-video visual effects, offering curated templates and multi-model generation with transparent integer credit pricing. Credits purchased through subscriptions, credit packs, or top-ups on Effect Video stay permanently in your account balance with indefinite rollover. Furthermore, teams can collaborate through a single shared account with unlimited concurrent rendering and zero mandatory seat fees.
I am an existing subscriber or already hold credits from an earlier plan. Will this new pricing affect me?
Your existing purchased credits and active subscription benefits remain fully honored under your original terms and rates. When you choose to switch to one of our new plans, you will enjoy the updated credit volume and permanent rollover features. Your existing balance will carry forward seamlessly into your updated plan.
Do my credits expire?
Credits purchased through subscriptions, credit packs, or top-ups never expire and remain permanently in your account balance until used. These purchased credits accumulate over time, allowing you to create videos at your own comfortable pace.
Do subscription credits expire, or do they roll over each month?
Subscription credits roll over indefinitely and never expire. Unused credits from your monthly or annual subscription accumulate automatically alongside your existing balance, keeping your creative resources ready whenever inspiration strikes.
What is the difference between monthly and annual subscription plans?
Annual plans offer a 20% savings and distribute your total credits in convenient monthly installments with permanent rollover. Both monthly and annual tiers provide fresh monthly credits that accumulate over time, giving you consistent creative capacity all year long.
What happens to my credits if I cancel my subscription?
Credits purchased through subscriptions, credit packs, or top-ups remain in your balance permanently after you cancel your subscription. Your active plan benefits continue through the end of your current billing period, and your purchased credits stay available for video creation with zero renewal fees.
How can I cancel my subscription?
Cancel anytime through the Manage Subscription link in your confirmation email, or email hello@effect.video from your account address and we will cancel it for you. Your plan and benefits remain active until the current billing period ends. All credits from your subscription, credit pack, or top-up stay in your account and never expire, so you can continue using them whenever you are ready.
Can I use generated videos for commercial purposes?
Videos made with purchased credits come with commercial use, so you can share them across client projects, social media, ads, and marketing campaigns. Within applicable law, your generated content belongs to you. Make sure you own or have permission for any photos, portraits, or audio you upload, as our commercial grant builds on the rights you hold in your source assets.
Who is responsible for the copyright of uploaded assets?
You are responsible for the photos, portraits, audio, and reference materials you upload. Please ensure you own them or have permission for your intended use. Our commercial grant applies to our AI generation process and works alongside the rights and permissions you maintain for your own uploaded content.
Approximately how many credits does one video require?
Video credits depend on the effect and settings. Current presets include 4-credit short effects, the 11-credit Michael Jackson entrance, and the 15-credit Rumpelstiltskin effect. The exact credit requirement is clearly displayed on screen before you generate, giving you complete clarity over your balance for every creation.
How do refunds work?
For a one-time credit pack or top-up, email hello@effect.video within 7 calendar days of payment for a full refund if none of the credits from that order have been used and no generation has been started. We revoke that order’s credits after the refund. Each user can receive one voluntary refund of this type. The current subscription billing period is non-refundable. Your rights under applicable local consumer laws are unaffected.
Can I get a refund for unused credits?
For a one-time credit pack or top-up, email hello@effect.video within 7 calendar days of payment for a full refund if none of the credits from that order have been used and no generation has been started. We revoke that order’s credits after the refund. Each user can receive one voluntary refund of this type. The current subscription billing period is non-refundable. Your rights under applicable local consumer laws are unaffected.
