Q: Questions on usage calculation and script for captions

1) Are minutes rounded up for usage, or are they exact (1.5 min. vs 2 min.)?

2) If we already have the script, can we paste it into the editor in some way to reduce AI resources for captions?

A: Great questions, here’s how usage is calculated:

1) Minutes calculation
• The minimum charge is 1 minute
• So anything under 1 minute (10s / 30s / 45s) = 1 minute

For videos over 1 minute:
• We round to the nearest minute
• Example:
• 1.4 min → 1 min
• 1.6 min → 2 min

2) Using your own script for captions
Right now, captions are generated from the video/audio directly.
We’re working toward more advanced editing workflows (including better control over captions and scripts), but pasting a full script to reduce usage isn’t supported yet.
