10 hours of renders is included per billing period allowing an overage. Unused credits are not rolled over to the next billing period. 


Component Actions

You have various components available for your use depending on your current plan. The basic components are:

 Users, Ingested Media, Productions, Cloud Storage, Managed Media, Media Intelligence and other services. 

See the full overview below. 


Each component has a coggwheel on the top right with a menu listing actions. 


Set limit allows you to lower the max limit of the component. This can be very useful  especially to set a limit for components which allow overage, to avoid surprises on the next invoice.


Manage allows you to add or disable additional services. For Cloud Storage, you can increase or decrease the amount of paid cloud storage. On rendering, you can disable or enable this paid service. See more details about these services below.
