How Generation Capacity Works

Ciaro Pro uses generation capacity to manage AI-powered work such as image generation, video generation, and advanced editing.

The important idea is simple: every plan includes access to the creative workflow, but plans differ by scale, output quality, model access, collaboration, and production reliability. The numbers below are rendered from the live credit-cost configuration.

Capacity is not the whole plan

Credits, allowances, and usage limits are operational details. They help the app track available generation resources, but they should not be confused with the full value of a plan.

A plan is primarily about what level of production it supports:

• Free helps explore the workflow.
• Indie helps storyboard-focused solo work.
• Pro helps complete solo production.
• Studio helps team production.
• Studio Plus helps team production.
• Studio Max helps team production.
• Enterprise helps custom sales-led production.

What can use capacity

AI-powered operations can draw from your included capacity. Examples include:

• image generation
• video generation
• image variation or editing tools
• script analysis, scene detection, or shot detection

Writing, organizing, reviewing, and planning your project are usually not the expensive part. Generation and advanced AI processing are what typically consume capacity.

Credit costs by operation

Each heavier operation consumes a set amount of credits (shown as the minimum cost per operation):

Operation	Credit cost
Image generation	2 credits
Image editing (inpaint, img2img, pose)	6 credits
Sketch mode	8 credits
FLUX.2 generation	10 credits
Qwen image (text rendering)	4 credits
Image variation	4 credits
Bria Eraser (object removal)	6 credits
Custom model training	204 credits
Video generation (starting)	70 credits
Video modification	80 credits
Video upscaling	30 credits
Topaz video upscale (1080p)	10 credits
Video extend	70 credits
Add audio to video	15 credits
LipSync	67 credits
Music generation	48 credits
Voice design	1 credits
Text-to-speech	1 credits
Voice-to-voice	1 credits
Audio clip	3 credits

Why usage can vary

Not every action uses the same amount of capacity. Higher-resolution video, longer clips, premium models, or advanced editing usually require more compute than simple drafts or lower-quality tests.

Practical takeaway

Use lower-cost settings while exploring ideas, then reserve higher-quality video, advanced models, and final exports for moments when the script, scene, and visual direction are already in good shape.
