VEED is a complete online video editor: timeline, subtitles, translation, teleprompter, brand kit. Its AI layer mostly speeds up editing rather than inventing images.
The pricing reads in AI credits: Creator at 22 € a month or 11 € annually for about 6,000 credits, Pro at 47 € for 30,000, Studio at 76 € for 180,000, enterprise on request. Important detail: credits are charged at each AI action, not at the final render, so redoing a generation costs again.
Imaginode does not edit: it manufactures the shots you will then edit, in VEED or elsewhere. Over twenty video models, up to 4K, generated audio on most of them, and a price shown before every generation, with an automatic refund on failure.

Frequently asked questions
Does VEED generate video shots?
Marginally. Its core is editing, subtitling and translation.
Why does a redo cost at VEED?
Credits are charged at the moment of each AI action, not at the final render: changing something afterwards restarts the meter.
What is the sequence for a full video?
Generate the shots at Imaginode, edit and subtitle at VEED.
Is Imaginode a good alternative to VEED?
If you have no footage, want a refund when a generation fails, and pick the model shot by shot, yes. If you edit filmed video and need subtitles, translation, a team brand kit and templates, VEED is the editor to keep.
