A: Credit usage depends on the tool or model you choose and, for videos, settings such as duration and resolution. You can see the full pricing breakdown at magiccanvas.ai/usage-cost. Before each generation, MagicCanvas also shows exactly how many credits will be deducted, so you can check the cost before you proceed.
Hi, I'm considering purchasing Tier 4 and have a few questions:
Are any image generation, editing, upscaling or other AI tools unlimited/free to use without consuming credits?
Can MovieStudio automatically create complete multi-scene videos with consistent characters, narration, music and transitions, or does it require manual assembly?
You mentioned MCP support is planned. Will MCP/API access...

A: Thank you! Yes, you can use your own photos or videos as the starting point and make yourself the subject. That’s one of my favorite things about MagicCanvas: you can start with yourself, not a generic AI character.

A: You’re right. You should have a concrete example before deciding whether to buy, and I’m sorry this wasn’t easier to find.
**Google Veo 3.1 Fast at 720p costs 5 credits per second, including when generating with audio.** An 8-second video costs **40 credits**. The available single-clip lengths are 4, 6, and 8 seconds; 10 seconds is not currently an option for one Veo 3.1 Fast generation.
Hi. 1 or 2 credits = how many credits to generate a video with 1 minute long for example ? Do credits expires after what each tier offers and then I will to purchase more credits ? Do credits roll over ? Do credits usage is depend on which AI model was used to generate a video ? Let me know when you can please and thanks.

A: Hi, thanks for asking! Credits are used for AI generations. The cost depends on the model, video length, resolution, and any additional inputs, so there isn’t one fixed price for every video.
For example, at 720p, Seedance 2.0 Mini costs 2 credits per second. Generating a total of 60 seconds of footage would cost about 120 credits. That may mean making several shorter clips rather than one...
