Get the most out of it
- 01Start with the Standard plan ($12/mo annual) to explore Gen-4.5 and understand credit consumption before scaling to higher tiers.
- 02Use Gen-4 Turbo for image-to-video work (lower credit cost) and reserve Gen-4.5 for text-to-video projects requiring highest quality.
- 03Leverage Motion Brush and Director Mode for frame-by-frame creative control over camera movement and object motion in generated videos.
- 04Monitor your monthly credit consumption closely; at $76/month (Max tier), budget approximately $2 per usable 10-second Gen-4.5 clip after accounting for retries.
- 05For heavy production workflows, the Max tier becomes cost-effective at high volumes, but verify annual billing saves 20% versus month-to-month rates.
