How Studio credits work

The confusing part of a new video studio is rarely the button that makes the clip. It is the moment someone buys credits on a laptop, opens the phone, and cannot tell whether the balance came with them. KuvaVid keeps one wallet. A purchase on the site and a purchase in the Android app land on the same account, and a generation spends that balance no matter which screen you used.

This is a product story, not a pricing riddle. You sign in, you buy, you generate, and the finished clip stays in the gallery even after the credits that made it are gone. The AI video generator page is where those passes live. The AI photo to video homepage is the studio the wallet belongs to.

Sign in before the purchase

Credits attach to the account, not to the browser tab. If you buy before you are signed in, you are hoping the purchase can find you later. Sign in first on the web, or in the Android app, then buy. The same login is what lets a clip you started on the phone show up in Studio when you sit down to brand it.

Looking at plans does not spend anything. Opening Standard, Ultra, or Express does not spend anything. The charge for a generation happens when you generate.

What spends, and what does not

A generation spends credits. That includes a new clip from a photo, another pass because the first one drifted, and a next scene that continues a clip you already have. Standard, Ultra, and Express are all generations. They share the wallet. Choosing a cleaner pass or a faster pass does not open a second account.

Branding does not start a new generation. A logo, a line of text, a filter, a combine, a download, and a publish all sit on the clip you already paid to make. If the motion is right and only the grade or the offer is wrong, you are not buying the video again. If the product changed shape, that is a new generation from the same photo, and it spends credits on purpose.

The gallery is what you keep

Finished clips stay in the gallery. You can leave and come back, brand them on the web after capturing on the phone, combine two of them, or export another MP4 later. The balance can go down. The file does not disappear with it. That is the part worth planning around: spend the generation when you need a new motion, and spend your time on the overlay once the motion holds.

A practical way to spend them

1. Sign in Use the same account on the site and in the Android app before you buy.
2. Test the hook Generate with Express when you are still deciding the motion. The photo stays the same.
3. Render the keeper Use Ultra when the look has to be clean, or Standard when that pass fits. Each of those is a generation.
4. Brand without generating Logo, text, filters, combine, download, and publish use the clip already in the gallery.

A week of one wallet

Monday’s purchase happened on the site, signed in, before anyone opened the app. Tuesday, in the stock room, the Android app showed the same balance. The first generation was an Express test of a push-in on a jar. It spent credits. It also answered the only question that mattered that morning: the label survived. Wednesday’s Ultra pass of that same photo spent credits again, on purpose, because the product page needed the cleaner frame. Nobody bought a second pack to move from the phone to the desk.

Thursday they almost spent a generation they did not need. The offer changed. The motion was still right. They edited the line of text on the clip, moved the logo a little higher, and downloaded a new MP4. The balance did not move. Friday they combined that clip with a second shot from another still. Combine did not generate a third world. It joined two files already in the gallery. A next scene, when they used one the following week, did spend credits, because a next scene is a new generation grown from the clip.

Where people think they were charged

Opening pricing, switching from Express to Ultra without generating, playing a gallery clip, applying a filter, and downloading are not the charge. The charge is the generation: a new clip from a photo, a retry because the product drifted, a pass you chose because the last one was only a test. If the balance dropped and you cannot remember a generation, look for a retry. The usual cause is a long prompt run twice, not a logo.

Sign-in is the other place the story breaks. A purchase made before the account is open has nowhere agreed to land. Sign in on the web and in the Android app first. Then the jar you captured upstairs is the jar you brand downstairs, and the credits follow the same login. That is the launch this wallet is for: one studio, AI photo to video, used from either screen.

If a test fails, the next prompt should be shorter, not a new product. You will spend another generation either way. Spend it on the photograph you already trust.

One week, one balance

On Monday the purchase happened on the laptop, signed in, before anyone opened a mode. On Tuesday the same account captured a tin on the Android app and generated an Express test in the stock room, because the question was whether a push-in was worth a cleaner pass. The balance that had been bought on the web was the balance that moved. There was no second wallet to discover, and no signed-out purchase waiting to be matched to a person later. Looking at Standard, Ultra, and Express did not spend anything. The generation did.

Wednesday’s Ultra file was a new generation on purpose. The Express clip had kept the label, and the product page needed the cleaner pass. Branding that file, placing the logo, adding the week’s price, did not start another charge. Thursday’s miss did. A prompt that asked for a hand the photo did not contain replaced the tin, and the retry from the same still spent credits again. That spend was the point. A wrong product is not a grade problem and it is not a billing surprise. It is another motion, and another motion costs a generation.

The gallery is what the week kept. The Express test, the Ultra keeper, and the failed hand-shot all stayed there after the balance dropped. Download, publish, a filter, and a combine sat on clips that had already been paid for. The phone and the site were reading one account, so the stock-room capture was the clip opened on the desk. The AI video generator is where those passes live. Capturing on the phone is how the still enters that same account before you sit down.

People think they were charged when they were not, and they miss the charge when they were. Opening the plans, switching from Express to Ultra without generating, refreshing the balance, and exporting an MP4 are not generations. A next scene is. A retry is. A combine is not. If the week’s test failed, the next prompt should be shorter and the photograph should be the one you already trust. You will spend the generation either way. Spend it on the tin you sell.

By Friday the only confusion left was a clip they had generated twice. The first pass asked for a lifestyle the tin’s photograph did not contain, and the second pass, shorter, put the tin back. Both spends were visible because both were generations. The logo they nudged on Friday was not. Publishing from the gallery was not. Signing in on the phone to check the balance was not. If a receipt and a balance ever seem to disagree, the useful question is which button actually made a new motion. Plans, refreshes, and exports do not. A retry does, even when the retry is you correcting your own sentence. The account that holds the credits is the account that holds the gallery, so the correction and the keeper live in the same place you will open next week.

Buy after you are signed in, on whichever screen you are holding. Then spend generations on photographs you would put on the product page. The shared balance is not a trick for moving a number between devices. It is how a capture in the stock room and a logo on the laptop remain one project. When the number feels low, look at the gallery before you look for a second wallet. The clips you already believe are still there, and branding them again does not require the balance that created them.

The number on Friday was the number of motions they had chosen, not a fee for opening the app.
