Understand How Runway LM's Credits Work

Runway uses a credit system to control how much you can create on each plan. Every action, whether it’s generating a video, making an image, or using text-to-speech, costs a certain number of credits. The higher your plan, the more credits you get each month. And in the Unlimited plan, credits only matter for things outside video, because video generations are unlimited.
