What does one OpusClip credit buy?
OpusClip currently charges 1 credit per minute of the original source video processed. A 30-minute podcast therefore costs about 30 credits even if it produces several short clips. Posting or scheduling one clip to X also consumes 1 credit.
Plan allowances translated into source footage
| Plan | Credits | Approx. source footage |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 60 / month | 1 hour / month |
| Starter | 150 / month | 2.5 hours / month |

Do OpusClip credits roll over?
Yes, within limits. Paid monthly credits are valid for 60 days, effectively allowing one additional month of rollover. Annual credits are issued upfront and remain valid for 12 months.
How rounding affects usage
OpusClip documents processing in whole minutes. Videos shorter than one minute round up to one credit. For partial minutes above one minute, the current documentation says the partial minute is rounded down—for example, a 4.5-minute video is billed as 4 credits.
What if you need more credits?
Paid users can refresh a plan, add Pro packs, upgrade from Starter to Pro or switch to annual billing. Pro packs add recurring processing credits and team resources; Business is the custom route for larger volumes and enterprise/API requirements.
