On the V2 tier (Starter plan), a full 30 Days generation runs roughly 126 to 136 credits depending on how many reference images the world bible needs. Here's what that actually buys.
Reference images
20–30 credits4 to 6 images that lock the world's key locations and characters before any scene generates.
Eight scene images
40 credits on V2Two per milestone day, across Day 1, 10, 20, and 30.
Eight animated clips
48 credits on V2Each scene image turned into a 5-second video clip.
Narration and export
18 credits on StarterAI-written narration from your real footage, plus the voice generation itself.
Why the cost jumps on V3 and V4
Video credits scale the most between tiers — V2's Seedance 1.5 Pro clips cost 6 credits each, V3's Veo 3.1 Lite clips cost 18, and V4's Seedance 2.0 clips cost 80, before the sharper scene images are even counted. See the full tier breakdown to decide where the jump is worth it for you.
What you're actually paying for
Compared to generating eight separate clips and writing your own narration by hand, the cost covers a locked-consistent world bible, a real narration script written from your finished footage, and one continuous exported story — not just raw generation.
