Image Generation Credits
What generating a character or background image costs, and why it is worth doing once.
As well as video, ScriptMotion generates the still images your videos are built from: characters in Step 2 of the workflow and background images in Step 3 (Scenes and References). Unlike video, these cost a flat number of credits per image — there is no per-second rate, because there is no duration.
What each image costs
| Action | When it applies | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Character image | Generating or regenerating a character in Step 2 | 5 |
| Background image | Generating or regenerating a background in Step 3 | 3 |
The charge applies each time an image is generated, including regenerating one you were not happy with. Uploading your own character or background image costs nothing.
Generated images are saved to your brand's asset library, and reusing one across any number of videos is free. Generating a small set of on-brand characters and backgrounds once, then reusing them, keeps a whole campaign visually consistent and costs credits only the first time.
