MAISONANDHOMESQ: When I use BYOK for Miltos with my Gemini API key, does creating and revising a Miltos project consume my 2, 5 K ?
When I use BYOK for Miltos with my Gemini API key, does creating and revising a Miltos project consume any of my 2,500 monthly MotionVid credits? If so, approximately how many MotionVid credits would a typical 5–10 second scene and a complete multi-scene real-estate video consume? Also, does the quoted average Gemini spend of $0.35 refer to one complete MotionVid project or one generated scene?

What still uses credits is anything a Gemini key can't pay for:
- AI images (add an OpenAI key and those go to 0 too)
- Voiceover, music and sound effects (add an ElevenLabs key and those go to 0)
