How Credits Work
Core Concepts
ReelVan pricing is based on video processing operations:
- Standard Video: 10 seconds, 720p 30fps (typical AI video output)
- Enhanced Output: 1080p 60fps
- Minimum Unit: 5 seconds of video
- Credit: ≈ $0.01 API cost
Operations & Credit Costs
ReelVan offers three types of processing operations:
Operation | Credits per 10s | Credits per 5s | Description |
---|---|---|---|
WMR (Watermark Removal) | 10 | 5 | Remove watermarks only |
E (Enhancement) | 20 | 10 | Upscale to 1080p 60fps |
FB (Full Bundle) - DEFAULT | 30 | 15 | WMR + Enhancement |
Note: Full Bundle (FB) is the default and recommended workflow. It provides both watermark removal and quality enhancement in a single operation.
