The number of credits used per generation

Summary

The number of credits required for a generation depends on the model and request complexity. For example, a single image might deduct fewer than 15 credits from your balance, while an eight second video with audio on a high-cost video model can require more than 5,000 credits.

Examples of credits used per generation

Example action	Computing Seconds	Biggest influencing factors
Generate a video with LTXV or LTXV Turbo	~ 50 to 200+	Video duration, audio on/off, model used
Generate a video with VEO 3 or VEO 3 Fast (8-second clip)	~ 875 to 3,500	Audio on/off, model used
Generate a video with VEO 2 (8-second clip)	~ 900	Audio on/off
Create an actor using uploaded images	~ 1100
Generate an image with Flux Kontent or Flux Premium	~ 28	References or styling applied
Generate an image with Nano Banana	~ 49	References or styling applied
Smaller actions, like applying an image style or using AI-assisted storyline suggestions	~ 4 to 20+

Disclaimer: This is not a complete list, but examples of common actions. The figures shown are approximate and intended to give you a general idea of how many Computing Seconds different actions may use in the app. Actual usage can vary and may change over time as LTX Studio updates its generation models.

This helps explain why your balance may drop more quickly with certain generations.

The difference between video duration, real-time rendering and credits

• Video duration: The length of your video clip output. For example, you generate a 5-second clip.
• Rendering time: The time it takes for the result to process and appear on your screen. This typically ranges from 5–15 seconds.
• Credits: The actual processing power used to complete your request. This can vary widely, from as little as 4 to over 5,400 credits per generation.

Example 1

You generate an 8-second video with audio using the Veo 3 model.

• It takes 15 real-time seconds to render.

• Cost: –5,400 credits

Example 2

You generate a 3-second video without audio using the LTX Turbo model.

• It takes 7 real-time seconds to render.

• Cost: –50 credits

Can I know in advance exactly how many credits my action will use?

Not yet. This article provides rough estimates to help you understand how credits work, but actual usage varies.

Key takeaway

Credits track generation power, not video duration or render time. The more complex the generation, or the more advanced the model, the more credits will be used.
