## Overview

Reap uses a dual-credit system so you can use credits across projects and features more flexibly. Instead of locking minutes to one project, credits can be used wherever you need them most.

This guide covers:

* what media credits are
* what AI credits are
* how credits are consumed by different features
* real usage examples

## 1. Credit Types In Reap

### Media Credits

Media Credits are a shared pool measured in minutes.

You can use them for:

* `Clipping`
* `Captions`
* `Reframing`
* `Transcription`
* `Audiogram`
* `Editor processing`

### AI Credits

AI Credits are tracked separately for more AI-intensive features:

* `AI Voiceovers (Text-to-Speech)`
* `Multilingual Dubbing`
* `Emoji Highlighter (inside the editor)`

## 2. How Media Credits Are Consumed

| Feature             | Credit usage                 |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `Clipping`          | `1 minute = 1 Media Credit`  |
| `Captions`          | `1 minute = 1 Media Credit`  |
| `Reframing`         | `1 minute = 2 Media Credits` |
| `Editor Processing` | `1 minute = 2 Media Credits` |

## 3. How AI Credits Are Consumed

| Feature                | Credit usage                 |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| `AI Voiceover (TTS)`   | `1 generation = 1 AI Credit` |
| `Multilingual Dubbing` | `2 minutes = 1 AI Credit`    |

## 4. Real Usage Examples

### Clipping

A `10-minute` clip uses:

* `10 × 1 = 10 Media Credits`

### Captions

A `5-minute` video uses:

* `5 × 1 = 5 Media Credits`

### Reframing

A `12-minute` video uses:

* `12 × 2 = 24 Media Credits`

### Dubbing

A `10-minute` clip uses:

* `10 × 0.5 = 5 AI Credits`

## 5. Why This System Is More Flexible

* credits are not stuck on one project
* you can use them on any project
* you can focus more credits on high-priority work
* you avoid leaving unused minutes behind in older projects

<Tip>
  If you want to reduce media-credit usage while clipping, use the time-frame slider to process only the section of the video you actually need.
