Is VideoComposer free to use?

Yes. VideoComposer is free for all browser-based tools — no account or credit card required. Anonymous users can run up to 5 processing jobs per 24 hours at no cost, with no watermark ever added to outputs.

What is a credit and how does pricing work?

One credit equals one second of video processing time, rounded up to the nearest second. Credits are consumed based on actual processing time — not video duration or file size. Starter starts at $14.99/month for 10,000 credits; Professional at $69.99/month for 100,000 credits; Enterprise at $399.99/month for 1,000,000 credits.

Do I need to pay to access the API?

API access is included in all paid plans starting with Starter ($14.99/month). The free browser tools do not require any account or API key — but programmatic API access for automation requires a paid plan.

Are there overage charges if I exceed my credit limit?

No. When you exhaust your monthly credits, jobs are paused rather than billed at overage rates. Upgrade to the next plan or wait for the monthly reset. There are no surprise overage charges.

Can I cancel or change my plan at any time?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period — no penalties.

How is VideoComposer pricing different from Shotstack or Clideo?

Shotstack starts at $39/month with no free tier and API-only access. Clideo requires signup and adds a watermark to free exports. VideoComposer offers free browser tools with no watermark, no signup, and a paid API starting at $14.99/month — no mandatory monthly minimums.

What happens to my credits if I do not use them all?

Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over. Plan your usage accordingly — or contact us about Enterprise plans with flexible rollover options.

Is there a free trial for paid plans?

The free tier effectively serves as a permanent free trial — run up to 5 jobs per day with no credit card required. When you are ready for higher volume or API access, upgrade to a paid plan.

How credits work

VideoComposer uses a credit-based model where one credit equals one second of processing time, rounded up. Credits are consumed based on actual server processing time — not the duration of your video or the size of the file. A 10-second trim of a 2-hour video costs roughly 10 credits, not thousands.

Typical credit usage by operation:

Trim / cut — ~10 credits per minute of output
Convert — ~20 credits per minute of output
Merge (compose) — ~15 credits per output video
Watermark (overlay) — ~15 credits per minute of output

All browser tools are permanently free with no watermark and no account required (up to 5 jobs per 24 hours). API access starts with the Starter plan at $14.99/month. Visit the developer overview for details on async job workflows, webhooks, and API key setup.
