Has anyone else run into this issue? How did you solve it?

I’m able to use the chat normally, and it can help me develop the script, visual direction, and sound design. However, whenever I ask it to actually generate the video, I get the following message:

“The credit estimation service is temporarily unavailable.”

I’ve tried again many times, usually about once every hour, but I keep getting the exact same error and still can’t generate any video.

This happens on both the web version and the app, so it doesn’t seem to be limited to one platform.

Has anyone experienced the same problem? If so, were you able to fix it, and what worked for you?

I have a similar issue. When I use CapCut Video Studio, I get this error - 'There are not enough free seconds left in your account.' But, I have credits.

Same here. I’ve basically tried every video generation feature I can access, and without exception I either get the same kind of error, get told to try again, or the generation just fails completely.

What I don’t understand is that I still have credits available in my account,...

That's right, and I've seen other people use this platform. I noticed they had 10k credits from the CapCut CPP Application Form, but then a new Contra Application Form was added which gives 5k credits. Maybe this newest one has issues with limited seconds.

That was one of my guesses too, maybe generating a 30s video requires more than 5000 credits. But I also tried generating just a 5s video, and I still got an error saying it couldn’t generate. So at this point, it doesn’t really seem to be directly related to the number of...

Really curious about your process here. Did you start with a storyboard or go straight into motion?

Some things can't be rushed. They can only be heard.

"One Note" is a 30-second short about a master luthier in Cremona, 200 hours of craft, and a single note to prove it all.

The idea: make sound visible. When the bow touches the string, the air fills with gold light and the whole workshop answers.

I built it entirely with @Invideo: I wrote the script and shot design, and the invideo agent handled the look, characters, score and final edit. Scoring first and cutting the picture to the music changed everything: the dust, the glass ripple and every reaction land exactly on the note.

If you're a video editor or a designer, try the invideo editor. It's free to try, and it turns a clear idea into a finished film faster than I expected.
