Where the editor figures come from
The editor figures are for one long-form video at the editing services in Video editor cost per video, which links each one's pricing page (read 2026-10-04): about $45 to $327 a video, worked out from their listed prices, and turnaround listed from 1 to 2 days up to 5 to 7 days. Short clips cost less, from about $14. Hound does the first pass and you finish the last part.

The details
What each job uses
| What you do | Credits |
|---|---|
| A first pass of a recording: the words written down, Hound's whole first pass, and his check of the cut | 90 a minute |
| A note to Hound, a round of changes: what it took, and the box shows the most it can use before you send it | 20 to 200 on a short video, about 100 is usual |
| Footage you add to your library. It is described once and kept for every project | 1 a shot, about 8 a minute of footage |
| Exporting an MP4, the timeline for DaVinci Resolve, editing by hand, undo and playback | free |
| A job that fails on our side, and any job you stop before it did anything | nothing |
The editor shows the number on the button before you press it. An ask never uses more than it says, and it uses only what the work took.
The rules
- Credits roll over every month and never expire, the free ones included.
- Cancel with one press on your account page. The plan ends when the month you paid for ends, and your credits stay.
- No automatic extra charges. A plan charges its own price each month and nothing more.
- Move up to a larger plan any time. Pay only the difference for the days left. Your renewal date stays the same. You get the same share of the larger plan's extra credits now, and from your next renewal you pay its full price. Stripe works the amount out to the second.
- Every job shows what it uses before it runs, and never uses more.
- A job that runs low on credits does not stop halfway: what it needs is set aside when it starts, and what it did not use comes back.
- A job that fails on our side costs nothing.
- With no credits left you can still export, open the timeline in DaVinci Resolve, and edit by hand.
- Credits you have not used can be refunded within 14 days of paying for them, a plan's month included.
The longer you stay, the further a dollar goes
A larger plan gives more credits for each dollar: Solo gives 125 credits for each dollar (6,250 credits a month for $50); Creator gives 135 credits for each dollar (13,500 credits a month for $100); Business gives 150 credits for each dollar (37,500 credits a month for $250).
Once you have paid $1,000 in total, Solo gives 7,000 credits a month where it gave 6,250 and Creator gives 14,000 credits a month where it gave 13,500, for the same price. A level never goes down.
Questions
Why credits and not dollars?
Jobs differ a lot in size, and credits keep the numbers whole. Each plan shows how many credits it gives, how many videos that covers, and about what a video comes to.
What happens to credits I do not use this month?
They roll over. A quiet month builds up a balance for a busy one, with no cap, and they stay yours if you cancel.
Do I need a plan?
To buy credits, yes: a monthly plan is the only way to buy them. Your first video is free with no plan and no card. You can cancel a plan with one press and keep every credit you hold.
Why does a round of changes have a range?
A change to one sentence takes Hound a few seconds of looking. "Tighten the whole video" takes him through all of it. The box shows the most a round can use before you send it, and you pay what it took.
How do I cancel?
Press Cancel plan on your account page. There is nothing to fill in and nobody to write to. You keep the month you paid for and every credit you hold.
Does staying longer cost less?
Yes. A larger plan gives more credits for each dollar. And what you have paid in total moves you up a level: at a high enough level the smaller plans give more credits a month for the same price. The details above say when. A level never goes down.
How does it compare with hiring an editor?
Put your own editor's price per video into the calculator above. Takehound does the first pass and you finish the last part, so it replaces the grunt work, not your taste.
Can I earn credits?
Invite a friend with the link on your account page: when someone new to Takehound makes their first video with Hound and exports it, you both get 1,000 credits. You get yours for up to 10 friends a month and 30 in all.
Can I get my money back?
Write to kyletran77@gmail.com within 14 days of a payment and the credits from it that you have not used are refunded to your card. The terms have the details.
