Fairytale credits: read the Generate quote
Read the credit quote on the action you are about to take. A video quote depends on its duration, resolution and any missing sheets that must be prepared from uploaded references. Avoid budgeting from an old screenshot or treating the first and second render as identical requests.
Separate the parts of the quote
Consider a hypothetical project with a newly uploaded product, a newly uploaded room photograph and a prepared shared character. Before the first video, the product still needs its production sheet and the room needs its scene reference. Generate shows the combined cost of the video and those missing preparations.
You can write the budget as a planning formula without assigning fixed prices:
First Generate quote = video at the chosen duration and resolution + each missing sheet listed for the selected references.
The studio draws those sheets first and saves them onto the references. A later video using the same prepared references does not need to draw those same missing sheets again. It still costs credits for the video. If you change the references or request a new look, check the quote again.
Know which choices start paid work
- Uploading photos: places the reference in the ad without drawing its sheet immediately.
- Describing a character or scene: uses its own paid drawing flow when you generate that reference.
- New look: draws a replacement character sheet and uses credits.
- Generate video: starts the paid render and any listed missing sheets from uploaded references.
- Add captions: starts hearing a finished video's words only when requested. Caption actions use no studio credits.
Guest preparation does not include paid work. Google sign-in is required before paid drawing or rendering, and Plan & credits opens when the account needs a balance sufficient for the request.
Budget for the result you keep
If a video fails after a sheet has already been drawn and saved, the completed sheet remains on its reference. The later failure returns the video credits and credits for sheets that were not drawn; it does not make the retained preparation free. An uncertain charged image outcome may also retain that drawing cost. Read the job's status rather than assuming every failure returns the entire initial quote.
A practical budget note has four lines: the chosen settings, the displayed total, the listed missing sheets and the number of deliberate video variants you plan. Keep a reserve for changes you choose after reviewing the result. A technically completed video you decide not to publish is still generated work.
The reference reuse guide helps reduce repeated preparation. The variant guide helps make each paid attempt answer a clear creative question, and the guest-project guide covers the sign-in point.
