- Scale plan: 2× pack = 1,200 credits, 3× = 1,800
- Credits reset monthly, unused credits don't roll over

Pricing questions
What exactly is a credit?
1 credit = 1 minute of source video processed. A 60-minute video uses 60 credits regardless of how many clips are generated from it.
Can I switch plans at any time?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades apply at the next billing cycle.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Professional and Scale users can purchase extra credit packs at any time. Scale users can multiply their entire pack (2× or 3×) for volume discounts. Free and Standard users wait for their monthly reset.
Does the Free plan expire?
No. The Free plan is permanent. You get 90 credits every month to explore the full clipping workflow.
What are NLE exports?
NLE (Non-Linear Editor) exports let you send your Carmic timeline directly to professional editing software — Adobe Premiere Pro (XML), DaVinci Resolve (XML), and Final Cut Pro (FCPXML). Available exclusively on the Scale plan.
What is emotional tracking?
Emotional tracking uses Google Gemini 1.5 Pro to analyze speaker facial expressions, vocal intensity, and body language to identify the most emotionally engaging moments in your video. Scale plan only.
Is annual billing available for all plans?
Annual billing is available on Standard, Professional, and Scale plans with a 20% discount. Free is always free.
Can I use Carmic for my agency or multi-brand operation?
Yes. The Scale plan includes a team workspace with up to 5 seats, shared media library, and 5 custom brand templates — built for agencies managing multiple clients.
