How many credits does an AI music video cost?
A three-minute song at the default settings plans about 15 scenes and costs roughly 3,257 credits — 215 per scene plus 32 fixed. The tables below break that down by song length, model, and resolution so you can price a project before you start it.

What you pay for
Where the credits go
A project charges in two parts: a fixed cost for planning and assembling the video, and a per-scene cost for the two things each scene needs — a key image and a generated clip.
| Step | Charged | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Audio analysis | once per project | 1 |
| Storyboard | once per project | 1 |
| Key image | per scene | 20 |
| Scene clip | per scene, varies by model and resolution | 130–520 |
| Final compose | once per project | 30 |
Rates
Cost of one scene
Clip cost is the model's base rate multiplied by the resolution. The figures below already include the 20-credit key image, so this is what one finished scene costs.
| Model | 480p | 720p | 1080p |
|---|---|---|---|
| MusVideo Power Modeldefault | 150 | 215 | 280 |
| Seedance 2 Fast | 220 | 320 | 420 |
| Seedance 2 | 280 | 410 | 540 |
Whole project
Cost by song length
MusVideo plans roughly one scene per 12 seconds of audio — a median measured across completed projects, not a fixed rule. The storyboard decides the real count, and it is capped at 40 scenes, so cost stops climbing on very long tracks.
| Song length | Scenes | MusVideo Power Model | Seedance 2 Fast | Seedance 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:00 | 10 | 2,182 | 3,232 | 4,132 |
| 3:00 | 15 | 3,257 | 4,832 | 6,182 |
| 4:00 | 20 | 4,332 | 6,432 | 8,232 |
| 5:00 | 25 | 5,407 | 8,032 | 10,282 |
At 720p, one clean run, no regenerations.
Plans
What each plan actually covers
A full-length music video at the default 720p setting costs more than one month of the Basic allowance. If you intend to finish a three-minute video in a single month, choose a plan or pack that covers about 3,257 credits, or generate at 480p to cut the clip rate to 130 credits per scene.
| Plan | Price | Credits | Full 3:00 videos at default settings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic monthly | $29.99/month | 2,000 | under 1 — about 61% |
| Starter Pack | $39.99 one time | 3,000 | under 1 — about 92% |
| Pro monthly | $44.99/month | 4,000 | 1.2 |
| Pro Pack | $99 one time | 9,000 | 2.8 |
New accounts start with 15 free credits, no card required. The free credits are intended for trying the workflow. A complete long-form video may require additional credits.
Honest limits
What can push the cost up
- Regenerations are charged again. Reworking a shot you do not like costs the same as generating it the first time. Budget headroom for a few.
- Lip-sync can change the billed model. Enabling avatar lip-sync on a non-H3 model routes the clip through Seedance and bills at that rate.
- 1080p doubles the clip rate. Generate and review at 480p or 720p, then re-run only the shots worth finishing at 1080p.
- Failures are refunded automatically. Failed and cancelled generations return their credits, and a scene gets one free rebuild after you change its performance mode.
FAQ
Common questions
How many credits does a full AI music video cost on MusVideo?
A three-minute song at the default settings (MusVideo Power Model, 720p) plans about 15 scenes and costs roughly 3,257 credits. Each scene costs 215 credits (195 for the clip plus 20 for its key image), and 32 credits cover audio analysis, storyboarding, and the final compose.
Do the free credits cover a complete music video?
No. New accounts start with 15 credits, which is enough to try the workflow — analysis, a storyboard, and a sample shot — but not to generate and compose a full song. Completing a full-length video requires a paid plan or credit pack.
Does resolution change the price?
Yes. Clip cost is multiplied by 1× at 480p, 1.5× at 720p, and 2× at 1080p. Key images and the compose step cost the same at every resolution.
Am I charged again if I regenerate a scene?
Yes. Every regenerated clip is charged at the same per-scene rate, so the totals below are for a clean run with no retries. Failed and cancelled generations are refunded automatically, and each scene includes one free rebuild after you change its performance mode.
What happens with songs longer than five minutes?
Storyboards are capped at 40 scenes, so a longer track does not keep adding scenes and cost past that point — it holds each shot on screen longer instead. Plan for roughly one scene per 12 seconds up to that cap.
