Reap uses a dual-credit system to give you maximum flexibility and control over how you process your videos. Instead of locking your minutes to a single project or feature, our new system allows you to use all your credits across any project, any feature, and any workflow whenever you need them.

Why the new credit system is more beneficial than before
1. Credit Types in Reap
Reap uses two types of credits:
🔵 Media Credits (Shared Minutes Pool)
Media Credits are a single, shared pool measured in minutes.
You can use these minutes for all core video tasks:
Clipping
Captions
Reframing
Editor processing
Why only one shared pool?
Previously, minutes were tied to a specific project, meaning if one project needed more minutes and another had unused minutes, you couldn’t transfer them.
That limitation is completely removed now.
📌 More Flexibility Than Before
Your Media Credits are now globally available.
This means all your minutes can be used on any project you choose.
You’re no longer forced to use “dedicated minutes” on one project only.
You benefit by:
Putting all your credits into your main project if needed
Avoiding wasted minutes stuck in older or unused projects
Managing your workload freely across multiple videos
Scaling one high-priority project instantly
This gives creators total freedom to allocate credits where they matter most.
🟣 AI Credits (Generation Credits)
AI Credits are separate from Media Credits because they power AI-heavy features:
AI Voiceovers (Text-to-Speech)
Multilingual Dubbing
We track these separately so the AI quality can improve continuously and remain cost-efficient.
2. How Credits Are Consumed (Cost Multipliers)
Each feature uses credits at a different rate based on processing complexity.
Feature | Credit Cost |
Clipping | 1 minute of clipping = 1 Media Credit |
Captions | 1 minute of captions = 1 Media Credit |
Reframing | 1 minute of reframing = 2 Media Credits |
Editor Processing | 1 minute inside editor processing = 2 Media Credits |
AI Credits Cost Breakdown
Feature | Credit Cost |
AI Voiceover (TTS) | 1 Generation of voiceover = 1 AI Credits |
Multilingual Dubbing | 2 minute of dubbing = 1 AI Credits |
3. What This Means in Real Usage
Let’s break down exact examples so you know how your usage is calculated.
Example 1: Clipping
A 10-minute clip uses:
10 × 1 = 10 Media Credits
Example 2: Captions
A 5-minute video uses:
5 × 1 = 5 Media Credits
Example 3: Reframe
For a 12-minute video:
Reframe → 12 × 2 = 24 Media Credits
Example 4: Dubbing (AI Credits)
Dubbing a 10-minute clip uses:
10 × 0.5 = 5 AI Credits
All credits are now global.
Use all minutes on one project or split across multiple, it’s entirely your choice.
