Credit calculations and FUP limits

Quick Summary

Fliki uses advanced AI to generate content in real-time. Whether it's synthesizing a voice, generating an image, or rendering a video, every action requires processing power.

Think of credits as fuel for that processing. Here is the quick summary of how they are charged.

1. AI Voiceovers

As soon as the video is generated and auto-plays, voiceover credits are consumed.

• Standard Voice: Costs 0.5 credits per minute.

• Ultra / Studio / Cloned Voice: Costs 1 credit per minute.

Replays & Edits

• No Changes: Replaying a video without editing voiceover text is free.

• Partial Edits: If you edit the voiceover text in just one scene, you only use credits to regenerate that specific scene’s voiceover.

• Uploaded Audio (MP3/WAV): Costs 0 credits.

2. Images and Videos

• Stock or Uploaded Media: Costs 0 credits.

• AI Images: Costs 0.08 - 2.5 credits per image, depending on the model you select.

• AI Video: Costs 0.2 - 5 credits per second, depending on the model and resolution.

3. AI Avatars

Credits are charged per second of generated avatar footage.

• Stock Avatar: Costs 0.25 credits per second.

  (Note: A flat 2 credits are deducted for any generation ≤ 8 seconds).

• Custom Avatar: Costs 0.3 credits per second.

Note: There are minimal credits charged for other specific actions (like Workflow, Translation, export etc). To see the full usage table and learn how to optimize your credits, keep reading the detailed guide below.

Full Guide: Usage, Costs & Optimization

Fliki isn't just a video editor; it’s a real-time AI processing engine.

Think of credits as fuel for that engine.

• Processing = Fuel Burned. (Generating a voice, creating an image, rendering a video).

• Static = Free. (Using stock media, replaying existing scenes).

Here is the step-by-step breakdown of where your credits go.

Phase 1: The Setup

When you start a workflow (Idea to Video, PPT to Video, etc.), you enter the setup phase.

This entire phase is free.

You can tweak prompts, choose voices, and select templates without spending a single credit.

The meter only starts running when you click Submit.

Workflow Start Costs (Charged upon Submit):

• Idea (Prompt): 0.5 credits

• Script: 0.5 credits

• URL (Blog): 0.5 credits

• URL (Amazon/Airbnb): 1 credit

• PPT: 1 credit

Pro Tip: Review your full script, on-screen text, and visual prompts before hitting submit. Fixing errors here costs nothing. Fixing them later might costs credits.

Phase 2: Generation & Voiceovers

As soon as the video is generated and auto-plays, voiceover credits are consumed.

This happens automatically.

The Cost Breakdown:

• Standard Voice: 0.5 credits / minute

• Ultra / Studio / Cloned Voice: 1 credit / minute

Example:

A 2-minute video with a Standard voice costs 1 credit (2 × 0.5).

A 2-minute video with an Ultra voice costs 2 credits (2 × 1).

How Edits Are Charged

• Replaying: Free.

• Editing voiceover text: If you change the voiceover text in a scene, you only pay to regenerate audio for that specific scene.

Example: Editing a 12-second scene (0.2 mins) with a Standard voice costs just 0.1 credits.

Phase 3: Visuals (The Cost Driver)

This is where credit usage varies the most.

1. Stock Content (Free)

Any image or video from Fliki's stock library costs 0 credits. Use as much as you want.

2. AI Images (Low Cost)

Generating custom images starts at 0.08 credits per image.

3. AI Video (High Cost)

AI Video is computationally heavy. It costs between 0.2 and 5 credits per second.

The Strategy to Save Credits

Do not generate AI Video immediately.

1. Start with AI Images only.

2. Review every visual.

3. Regenerate or swap images you don't like (it’s cheap).

4. Only when images are perfect, go to Settings → "Generate AI video clips".

This ensures you don't waste expensive video credits on scenes you might delete later.

Phase 4: Avatars & Lip-Sync (Optional)

Avatars are NOT automatically lip-synced.

This is a safety feature to save you money.

The Trap:

If you generate lip-sync immediately and then edit the script, you have to pay to regenerate the avatar video again.

The Fix:

1. Finalize the script.

2. Finalize the timing.

3. Only then click the Avatar and select "Generate lip-sync."

The Cost:

• Stock Avatar: 0.25 credits / second

• Custom Avatar: 0.3 credits / second

• Note: There is a flat 2-credit minimum for generations under 8 seconds.

Phase 5: Exporting

Exporting costs 0.1 credits per minute of video.

• A 3-minute video = 0.3 credits.

• Important: If you export, find a typo, and export again, you pay again. Always watch the full preview first.

Additional Features

• Translate: 0.5 credits per run.

• Background Image Removal: 1 credit per image.

• Editor Copilot: 0.05 credits per chat.

Tips to optimize usage

1. Review before you submit

The biggest credit saver is finalizing your script before the video is generated.

Reviewing text and prompts during the Setup Phase is free. Editing them later might consumes credits.

2. Keep voiceover layers short

Keep text layers to 1–2 sentences.

If you edit text in a scene, you pay to regenerate audio for that scene.

Regenerating a 30-second paragraph is expensive. Regenerating a 5-second sentence is cheap.

3. Use the "Pronounce" feature

If the AI mispronounces a word, don't regenerate the whole scene.

Highlight just that word and select "Pronounce". You can fix it in the Pronunciation Map without consuming credits for the full scene.

4. Perfect images before converting to video

AI Video costs up to 5 credits/second. AI Images cost as little as 0.08 credits.

Always generate your video with images first. Review and swap them until perfect.

Only then, go to Settings → "Generate AI video clips".

5. Lip-sync is the last step

Don't rush the Avatar lip-sync.

If you generate it early and then change your script, you pay double.

Wait until your final review is done before clicking "Generate lip-sync".

6. Use stock content

Stock images and videos from Fliki’s library are free (0 credits).

Use them to fill gaps or create high-quality segments without spending budget.

7. Choose the right model

Don't use a cannon to kill a fly.

• Hobby work: Use Standard voices (0.5/min) and default images.

• Professional work: Use Ultra voices (1/min) and Flux Pro images.

• AI video: Start with Seedance Pro Fast (0.2/sec) before trying expensive models like Google Veo.

8. Plan your exports

Every export costs 0.1 credits per minute.

Treat the export button like a "Publish" button, not a "Draft" button.

Watch the full preview one last time before exporting.
