When using AI to generate images or videos, is there any good way to avoid wasting credits?

Consider using smaller previews or lower resolution outputs first. This way, I can assess the overall concept before committing to full-scale generation

I’ve definitely learned a few tricks to avoid wasting credits when generating AI images or videos: Plan Ahead: Before generating, I try to be super clear about what I want—writing down key details or even doodling a rough idea helps a lot. Be Specific: Detailed prompts usually give better results and save me from doing too many retries. Start Small: If possible, I’ll generate lower-res versions first to see if it works before using more credits on high-res. Tweak, Don’t Restart: If the result isn’t quite right, I tweak the prompt instead of starting over completely. Look for Examples: Checking out prompts that others have used successfully can save so much time and effort!

Start with 'no watermarks, no blurry faces, no distorted text' in your negative prompt. These three alone will save you from the most common AI image fails.

When I create videos on Runway, I start by using a free image tool like ImageFx to create similar images as closely as possible. Then, I use those images to build the video. It’s been pretty helpful.

Experimenting with simpler prompts first can save credits.

i think you try consdring using imgify ai photo enhancer for it as it is free to use.
