Story scripts and AI video prompts
A story script starts at 12 credits for the first 15 seconds. AI video prompts add a 7-credit prompt component. Optional Viral DNA adds a 13-credit analysis component to either output.
Each charged component adds 1 credit per additional 5 seconds, rounded up. A selected range shorter than 15 seconds is charged as 15 seconds. A 60-second story script without Viral DNA costs 21 credits.
| Selected range | Output and options | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 60 seconds | Story script | 21 |
| 60 seconds | Story script + Viral DNA | 43 |
| 60 seconds | AI video prompts | 37 |
| 60 seconds | AI video prompts + Viral DNA | 59 |
Professional episodic screenplays
Screenplay credits are the sum of the base script charge for each episode: 12 credits for its first 15 seconds, then 1 credit per additional 5 seconds, rounded up. There is no extra task-level base fee.
For example, a 90-second episode costs 27 credits. Two such episodes cost 54 credits, not the price of one continuous 180-second script. The estimate depends on episode division as well as total duration. This workflow supports up to 60 minutes per task and does not include Viral DNA or Rewrite.
You see the estimate before starting. Credits reserved for undelivered episodes are returned. Word export adds no further credit charge.
Check a quote with a worked example
For a 60-second story script, the time beyond the first 15 seconds is 45 seconds. That is nine additional 5-second units: 12 + 9 = 21 credits. Adding Viral DNA adds its own component, 13 + 9 = 22, so the combined estimate is 43 credits.
For a screenplay, calculate each episode separately and add the amounts. Two 90-second episodes cost 27 + 27 = 54 credits. That differs from a single 180-second story script because screenplay billing starts the base calculation again for each episode.
If the estimate is higher than expected, check the selected duration, output, Viral DNA selection and episode settings before starting. Keep the task record when checking returned credits; do not infer the settlement from the original estimate alone.
