Q: Video editor
Hello,
I want to edit videos with multilayers from 1 hour to 2 hours with automatic removing of long silences and upgrade sound like with Auphonic for YouTube, then generates shorts for social medias.
Is It possible ?
If i upload a video of 1 hour with 4 layers : 2 videos and 2 soundtacks. Will I be charge one hour of credits or 4 ?
If i edit a 1 hour video, add subtitles and make shorts, Will I be charge one hour of credits or 3 ?
Have a nice day,
Jean

Edited Apr 9, 2026A: Hello Jean,
Great questions — let me break this down clearly:
1) Is your workflow possible?
Yes — this is exactly what reap is designed for.
• You can process long-form videos (1–2 hours)
• Generate shorts automatically for social media
• Add subtitles and reframe for vertical formats
For audio:
• We do include audio cleaning and enhancement.
Silence removal:
• We are moving toward more advanced editing controls (including silence trimming and prompt-based editing), which will make this workflow even stronger.
2) Multi-layer uploads (2 video + 2 audio tracks)
You are charged based on final video duration — not number of layers
So:
• 1 hour project = 1 hour of credits
• Not multiplied by number of tracks or layers
3) Editing + subtitles + shorts — how credits work
Credits are not charged per feature
So if you:
• Upload 1 hour video
• Edit it
• Add subtitles
• Generate multiple shorts
You are still charged based on the input video duration
In this case: ~1 hour of credits total
(Not 3x)
Simple rule:
Credits = duration processed
Not features × duration
If you plan to do long-form → shorts workflows regularly, this is one of the core use cases we’re optimizing heavily.
