Generation & models

• Every job (video, image, voice, music, lip-sync) is priced in credits from the provider’s real price, so a Seedance shot and a Veo shot compare on one scale.
• The quote shows on the shot row, in the Shots tab and in the Director’s message before anything is submitted.
• When a job starts, the quote plus 10 % is held. When it finishes it is charged its actual cost, never more than the hold, and the rest is returned.
• A job that fails or is cancelled releases its whole hold.

• The render plan: a model for every shot and one quote for the whole board, approved once.
• Each row shows the approved frame next to its takes, so you judge a render against the board.
• Queued, elapsed and remaining time on every shot while jobs run.
• Use in cut pins the take that the Timeline assembles; the other takes stay one click away.
• A failed job shows a plain sentence explaining why, including what a provider’s safety check flagged.

With previz keyframes on, a shot’s video take starts from its previz frame. Models that can combine a first frame with reference images get both; models that cannot get the frame alone, which already carries the cast. See Storyboard & Previz.

Your plan sets how many jobs run at once: 2 on Free, 4 on Basic, 8 on Pro and 16 on Max. It changes how fast a board renders, never what it costs. Pencil sketches and previz frames run in their own faster lane.

Models differ in durations, aspect ratios, resolutions, reference images and native audio. When a shot asks for something its model cannot do, you get a clear error with a suggestion: split or retime the shot, or switch to a model that can.

The Playground tab runs any model on its own, with the same live quote and hold as everywhere else. Keep a result and send it to the storyboard.

The model catalog today, by provider. Providers are switched on one at a time; the model picker in your workspace lists the models your studio can use.
