How does generative credits work?

[Jarlskov]

Can anyone tell me how generative credits work? I've been a subscriber to Adobe for many years and now Adobe has come up with new tools that I'd like to use. It's about Firefly Video. It says it costs generative credits to use it, and you're constantly told how to buy them. I already have generative credits, but apparently I'm not allowed to use them to make videos. So I can understand there are two types of generative credits that can be used for different things, even though you call them the same. It's pretty confusing and right now I don't understand. It looks like Adobe wants me to create a whole new subscription, next to the subscription I already have, to even be allowed to use firefly video. Why does Adobe choose to introduce two different generative credits that can be used for different things, but at the same time choose to call them the same?

- Unfortunately, there is no option to choose a topic that really fits this post - unfortunately, that's how it is every time. So the only thing I could choose was "Audio and Video".

Hi @Jarlskov 
There is a confusion amongst many as seen by multiple posts here asking about using generative credits. I agree it is confusing when you have credits working in one way for images, it seems off that they are not available for video without an extra plan.

Below are links about the new plans and how generative credits work now.

Ok. So it's just plain greed on Adobe's part. Thanks for the links. Impressive they have so little decency towards subscribers, but that's the American way these days.
