Trying to understand if credits can be used for videos and what plan provides for use of stock video

[BlackwaterPete]

I'm experiencing a great deal of confusion surrounding the use of "credits" and "assets" as terms for currency and files, because phrasing like "Videos, images, music, and motion graphics - one simple plan"

is found near seemingly contradictory phrasing like "Standard assets include millions of royalty-free images, illustrations, music tracks, motion graphics, design templates, and more," where video is excluded. There seem to be on the one hand claims that video can be licensed by having a subscription plan, but it's not clear that any plan comes with a certain amount of credits; only "assets" are quantified. Furthering the confusion, no video seems to be available for credits at all. Each video shows a specific dollar amount for license.

It depends on your plan if you can licence HD video. See here:

“Asset” is anything you can licence, an asset may cost one or more credits, and not all credits are equal:

With a 25-credits/month plan, you may licence up to 3 HD videos, making 8 credits/video. With a 750-credits/month you can licence 25 HD videos/month making 30 credits/video. But those 30 credits are cheaper than the 8 credits for the other plan. And there is still a difference between plan credits and credit-packs credits.

Let me state it like this: if you need to licence a lot of HD videos/month, you're better off with a 750-plan.

The 10-cerdits/month plan includes only standard assets.

I see you've said here "With a 750-credits/month you can licence 25 HD videos/month making 30 credits/video," but it seems that actually going into the stock library shows that no videos are available for anything except direct payment of cash, no matter what plan is chosen. This an entire model is extremely unintuituve and contrary to the consumer's interest. I'm hopeful anyone can please add some clarity.

Do you have a plan? If yes, what plan. If no, you need to have a plan for seeing the cost changing into credits.
