Understanding AI Minutes: How They're Counted in InVideo AI

If you're using AI video generation tools like InVideo AI, understanding how AI minutes are calculated is crucial for managing your subscription and maximizing your video creation capabilities. This article breaks down exactly what AI minutes are and how they're counted, ensuring you can plan your projects effectively.

What are AI Minutes?

AI minutes represent the computational resources you use when generating videos using artificial intelligence. In the context of InVideo AI, these minutes are deducted from your available balance each time you create a video. The use of either stock media or generative media will contribute to the usage of AI minutes.

• When you generate a video, the length of the video determines how many AI minutes are deducted.

Let's look at a couple of examples:

• Max or Generative Plan: If you have 200 AI minutes and generate a 3-minute video, you’ll have 197 minutes remaining.
• Plus Plan: If you have 50 AI minutes and generate a 3-minute video, you’ll have 47 minutes remaining.

Understanding these deductions will help you optimize your video creation process and choose the right plan for your needs.

How AI Minutes are Counted

InVideo AI uses a rounding system to calculate AI minutes. Here’s a detailed breakdown:

• 0 min 1 sec - 1 min 29 sec: Rounded to 1 minute
• 1 min 30 sec - 2 min 29 sec: Rounded to 2 minutes
• 2 min 30 sec - 3 min 29 sec: Rounded to 3 minutes
• 3 min 30 sec - 4 min 29 sec: Rounded to 4 minutes
• 4 min 30 sec - 5 min 29 sec: Rounded to 5 minutes
• And so on...

This rounding system ensures simplicity and transparency in how your AI minutes are consumed. Keep this in mind when planning the length of your videos.

Generative Credits vs. AI Minutes

It's important to note the distinction between AI minutes and generative credits. While AI minutes are used for video generation, generative credits are specifically used for AI-powered content creation features.

Maximizing Your AI Minutes

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your AI minutes:

• Plan Your Videos: Carefully outline your video content to avoid unnecessary generation time.
• Optimize Video Length: Be mindful of the rounding system and try to keep your videos within optimal length ranges.
• Explore Editing Options: Utilize editing tools to refine your videos and avoid regenerating them multiple times.
