Decoding InVideo AI: How Many Credits Does a Video Actually Cost?

If you are diving into AI-powered video creation, you have likely run into InVideo AI. Rather than operating on a simple “unlimited videos” model, InVideo relies on a dynamic, credit-based system tied to your subscription tier.

Because the platform integrates multiple high-end generative models (such as advanced video and image engines), there is no single flat rate per video. Instead, how many credits a video costs depends entirely on how you build it—whether you rely purely on stock footage assembly, generate custom AI clips, or utilize multi-step scriptwriting and agent workflows.

1. How the InVideo Credit System Works

InVideo structures its platform around monthly credit pools bundled into subscription tiers (ranging from Starter and Plus to Max and Generative).

• Manual Editing is Free: Moving clips around, cutting, trimming, and performing timeline edits inside the InVideo editor cost 0 credits.
• AI Generation Consumes Credits: Whenever you use AI agents, text-to-video models, custom image generation, or advanced voice tools, credits are deducted from your balance based on the intensity of the task.

To figure out how many credits your specific video will require, you have to look at the “ingredients” that go into it:

Stock Assembly vs. Generative Video

• Stock-Only Assembly: If your video script is put together using InVideo’s massive library of stock media, music, and text transitions without heavy generative video, the cost is remarkably low—often just a couple of credits per minute.
• Generative Video Models (
