What one credit costs on SceneMixer
SceneMixer publishes both halves: a credit rate per second of video and a credit price that runs from $0.0149 in the smallest pack to $0.0078 in the largest. The second half is a range, so the derived rate is one too. As of 2026-09-22.
| What is published | As the price list states it |
|---|---|
| Price of a credit | $0.0149 in the smallest pack, $0.0078 in the largest |
| Rate on the default tier | 10 credits a second, printed also as about $0.06 |
| Rate on the dearest video tier | 38 credits a second, printed also as about $0.24 |
| Which pack the dollar figures use | A mid-range pack, so both ends move the printed total |
Inclusion rule. Figures the price list publishes that bear on converting credits into money. Both the credit rate and the credit price are needed, so both are listed. Order. The credit price first, then the rates it multiplies.

Inclusion rule. Channels that meter in credits. Whether the credit price is published decides whether anything on that page converts into money, so both answers are listed. Order. Alphabetical by channel name.
2A range in the credit price is a range in every rate on the page
A credit costing between about one and a half cents and eight tenths of a cent means every rate quoted in credits carries a spread of roughly ninety per cent between its cheapest and dearest reading. Ten credits a second is six cents to a buyer of the largest pack and closer to fifteen to a buyer of the smallest.
Publishing the dollar figure alongside the credit figure is therefore a choice about which pack to quote. Reading the printed dollar amount as the price works for whoever buys at that volume and overstates the saving for everyone below it.
3Publishing both halves is what makes the row checkable
Most credit pages in this register publish a consumption rate or an allowance and stop. Two figures on one page let a reader recompute the seller's own arithmetic and get the same answer, which is the only reason a derived rate belongs on a ledger at all.
It also puts the argument in the right place. A reader who disputes six cents a second is disputing the pack price or the credit rate, both of which are on the vendor's page, rather than disputing a conversion invented here.
4Compositing is metered in the same currency at a different scale
One credit per second of finished episode for joining segments is a hundredth of the cheapest generation tier, which is small enough that it rounds away on a single shot and large enough to notice across a season. It is also priced separately rather than folded into the generation rate.
That separation is what lets a buyer cost a fifteen-minute episode without guessing. The generation cost scales with retakes and the join cost scales with the delivered runtime, and mixing them into one figure would hide the difference.
