Beeble

Beeble prices SwitchX and Reframe per second of footage. On the pricing page, a 720p second costs 6 credits, 1080p costs 20 and 2160p costs 80, and the tables are calculated for a 30 fps, 4-second clip. Creator includes 540 credits a month, which the page converts to 22 clips at 720p and 6 at 1080p. Creator has no 2160p row.

The credit policy states the rule in frames instead: cost is the number of 30-frame blocks, rounded up, times the rate. A 60 fps clip therefore costs twice as much as the same length at 30 fps. Check your source frame rate before estimating a month of work.

• 720p: 4 seconds x 6 = 24 credits, so 22 clips on Creator and 100 on Professional.
• 1080p: 4 x 20 = 80 credits, so 6 clips on Creator and 30 on Professional.
• 2160p: 4 x 80 = 320 credits, so 7 clips on Professional.

Professional costs $75 a month, or $60 billed yearly, against $19 or $16 for Creator. The extra spend buys 2,400 credits instead of 540, 2160p SwitchX and Reframe output, 10-bit MOV export, uploads of up to one minute for Background Remover and VFX Pass Generator, and image-sequence uploads.

Editorial assessment

Stay on Creator while deliveries are 1080p MP4 and clips are short. Move up when a client requires 4K, 10-bit files or footage longer than 30 seconds, since those limits are tied to the plan rather than to credits.

SwitchX is cloud-only. The documentation describes an alpha mask that decides what is generated, a reference image that sets the look, and four mask modes: Auto, Select, Fill and Upload. Unmasked areas keep the original footage but are relit to match the new scene. Camera tracking follows the source by default and can be set to ignore it.

Output is limited to 480 frames per video, or 20 seconds at 24 fps. Direct ProRes 422 uploads of up to 4.5 GB are accepted, while ProRes 4444 and variable frame rate files are rejected. Iterate then Finish lets you explore in 720p and finish the favorite at higher resolution, re-rendered from the source footage.

The pricing page lists Background Remover with two models: MatAnyone at 1 credit per image or second and CorridorKey at 2, calculated on 30 fps footage. Creator therefore covers 540 seconds with MatAnyone or 270 with CorridorKey, and Professional covers 2,400 or 1,200. Exports are MOV or PNG sequence, with a 2048 x 2048 maximum resolution.

VFX Pass Generator costs 3 credits per image or per second, which is 180 on Creator and 800 on Professional, and returns alpha, PBR passes and depth. SDR to HDR costs 3 credits per second at 720p and 10 at 1080p, for up to 240 frames, and exports 16-bit ACES EXR or Rec.2020 HLG files.

Beeble Studio is a separate desktop application for Windows and Rocky Linux that runs on a local NVIDIA GPU with 12 GB or more of VRAM. Its plans are priced separately, and the comparison page lists VFX Pass Generator and 3D Relight there, without SwitchX or Background Remover. Studio is licensed and priced separately from the cloud plans described above.

The pricing page FAQ says the plans do not include API access and that Beeble Studio is licensed separately, and the developer API has its own pricing page. Treat both as separate purchases. Team supports Canvas, SwitchX, Background Remover and VFX Passes, and 3D Relight is not available in an organization workspace.

Subscription credits are consumed first and reset at the start of every billing cycle, with no carryover. One-time credits bought as a backup expire 90 days after purchase. Credits can be topped up at any time, and Team accounts can add auto-recharge; Team extra credits cost 30 per $1 and roll over for up to 3 months.

Upgrades take effect immediately with a prorated charge. Downgrading Professional to Creator takes effect at the end of the billing period without a refund for the remaining time. Cancelling keeps access until the cycle ends.

The FAQ says paid users keep uploaded and created content private and fully owned, with Beeble accessing it only as needed to provide the service. Free-tier users keep ownership too, but the terms let Beeble use their content for research and development. Team and Enterprise pages state that Beeble never trains on your data, and third-party model terms sit in the model list.

SwitchX can change clothing and surroundings, and the documentation describes masks that keep chosen subjects unchanged. The terms bar using pictures or video of another person without consent and any impersonation, so upload only footage you have the rights and releases to use.

1. Record the credit balance and plan before starting.
2. Upload the clip, use Auto masking on the main subject and describe the new lighting in a prompt.
3. Run one 1080p generation and download the MP4.
4. Compare the balance after the run with the 80-credit prediction.
5. Play the result beside the source and check faces, hands, edges and camera motion.

Accept a run that deducts 80 credits and keeps the masked subject and camera path intact. Reject a run that charges a different amount, drops frames or alters the subject. No result is reported until the exercise is run.

For prompt-based generation with a different credit model, compare Runway. To upscale finished footage, see Topaz Video.
