Models & Credits

Learn about how Holo Credits power your creations on Ava Studio.

Holo Credits

Every video component (like voice, image, or scene) costs credits to generate. Here’s a rough guide:

Feature	API Cost (USD)	Base Cost in credits	Priced with 20% Overhead	With 20% Overhead (Credit)
Video (per sec)	$0.35	35	$0.42	42 credits
TTS Voice (per min)	$0.24	24	$0.29	29 credits
AI Image (per image)	$0.03	3	$0.04	4 credits
Stock (Pexels) ( per image)	Free	0	Free	2 credits
Sound FX (per SFX)	$0–0.02	0–1	$0–0.01	1 credits

Credit costs are based on underlying model/API usage plus system overhead for rendering, storage, and performance.

Model & Providers

Below is an overview of the models and APIs we use to generate each component, along with their intended use.

Provider	Model/API	Used For	Notes
Google	Veo	Video generation	Outputs high-res video clips (5–8s), length not fully controllable
	Imagen	Photorealistic image gen	Great for realistic scenes or backdrops
	Gemini Flash	Stylized/cartoonish images	Ideal for meme, animation, or brainrot content
OpenAI	Open AI Image gen	General-purpose image gen	Balanced option between realism and stylization
ElevenLabs	Multilingual TTS	Voiceovers (text to speech)	Used across all templates for natural speech in multiple languages
	Sound Effect API	Short audio clips	Enhances pacing with pings, wooshes, etc.

We use dynamic routing based on content type and quality needs : for example, Studio will auto-select between Imagen and Gemini Flash depending on whether your prompt leans photorealistic or stylized.
