Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Every account starts with 500 free credits — enough to build and test a real project with AI-powered breakdowns, storyboard sketches, and professional exports. No credit card required. No time limit.

500 credits is a full production budget for a short film. We want you to experience every feature — import a script, run AI breakdowns, generate storyboard sketches, and export your work — before spending anything. It's a complete production run, not a limited demo.

Your project stays fully accessible — you can still view, edit, and organize everything. You just can't trigger new AI actions or exports until you add more credits. There's no lockout.

No. Credits never expire. Buy them today, use them in six months. They're yours until you spend them.

Yes. When you archive a project, any unused credits from that project’s budget are released and can be used on a new project.

None. No monthly charges, no per-seat pricing, no auto-renewal, no hidden tiers. You buy credit packs when you need them. Every feature is available to every user from day one.

It depends on the size of your production. A solo short film might use 500–900 credits. A small indie production typically uses 900–1,500. Feature-length projects with heavy AI usage start around 1,500–2,500+.

Writing, editing, planning, and day-to-day organizing are always free. Credits are used for AI-powered features (script import, breakdowns, storyboard sketches) and professional exports (PDF/CSV).

Spreadsheets don't connect your script to your shots to your schedule. Most production tools charge €30–60/month whether you're actively producing or not, and lock features behind tiers. FilmFlow connects your entire pre-production pipeline in one place — and you only pay when you're producing.

Credits are tied to your account and can't be transferred to other accounts. However, you can invite collaborators to your projects without them needing their own credits — project credits cover the whole team.

No. The credit cost of every action is shown before you confirm. There are no platform fees, no processing fees, and no surprise charges. What you see is what you pay.

Most production tools charge €30–60/month regardless of activity — that's €360–720/year. FilmFlow's credit model means you only pay during active production. A typical short film costs 59–99 € total, and credits never expire between projects.
