sonofabitQ: Credit values
I actually totally understand and respect the set of lifetime credits; it's reasonable and fair especially if you do get lifetime access to absolutely everything else! but it would be helpful to fully understand two things: 1) exactly how much can you do WITHOUT spending any AI credits and 2) how many credits, on average, are spent per video by users. I understand this is subjective, not exact, and will absolutely vary. but just having a ballpark reference of usage costs will help me understand if this is worth giving a shot, because I don't mind buying packs of credits later, but not if I have to buy a ton just do do a few videos a month because they get burned so quickly. I want to understand if, as you have said a few times in replies to similar concerns, that the AI is supplemental, exactly how far we can get without them, thanks!

To answer your questions:
1. What you can do without spending any AI credits:
If you stick to FlexClip's non-AI features, you won't consume any credits. That includes the full power of our timeline editor—trimming, merging, reversing, speed adjustments, adding text, music, voiceovers, animations, chroma key, screen recording, and more. Plus, you get access to our massive media library: 4M+ stock videos & photos, 74,000+ music & sound effects, 6,000+ templates, 1,000+ text presets, 3M+ dynamic elements, and various effects & transitions. Cloud storage is also included. As for export resolution — Plan 1 gives you 1080p, while Plan 2 & 3 offer up to 4K. None of this costs any AI credits.
Think of it this way — back when we first launched FlexClip, there were zero AI tools, yet tons of people were happily editing videos every day. They relied entirely on the editor itself. AI has always been the icing on the cake — a helpful companion to enhance your editing experience. So you can absolutely go far without spending any credits.
2. How many credits AI features consume on average:
This really depends on what you're doing, but you can check the full breakdown here:

absolutely, thank you for the quick reply, its this kind of attention that makes me feel confident about checking it out! one more question about the stock media, I have bought other platforms like autogen and similar tools with the promise of stock media and most of it was just unsplash and/or public domain stuff and most of it was honestly unusable. how much more do you have than that?
In addition to integrating public stock libraries like Unsplash, Pixabay and Pexels for quick access to basic assets, we've also added Storyblocks’ high-quality premium library—all royalty-free and commercial-use friendly. With millions of assets, it covers a much wider range of real-world video creation scenarios.
