How render credits work

Each replacement uses 1 credit per rendered second, rounded up, with a 5-credit minimum per role per render. People you leave unchanged use zero credits. A 5-second clip with one replacement uses 5 credits. A 15-second clip with one replacement uses 15.

Planned for longer clips and more roles. A 30-second clip with one replacement uses 30 credits. A 15-second clip with two replacements also uses 30.
