How to Choose AI Video Quality Without Wasting Credits
Quality settings in YB Video from YB.Digital, at https -//yb.digital/video, affect the generation detail and the credits a video uses. Choose a setting based on where the clip will appear and how much visual polish it needs, rather than defaulting to High for every draft.
Low quality suits early prompt tests, rough storyboards, and quick checks of camera movement or scene composition. It uses fewer credits than higher settings, making it a practical choice while you revise an idea. Use it to find out whether a prompt produces the right subject and action before spending more on detail.
Mid quality offers a useful balance for internal reviews and clips where the overall look matters but maximum refinement is unnecessary. Select it after your prompt and framing are mostly settled, especially when you need to judge color, lighting, or motion more clearly than a rough draft can show.
High quality is best reserved for polished output, such as a finished social post, a client preview, or footage that will be displayed prominently. Because higher generation quality consumes more credits, avoid using it to test several prompt variations. Generate a Low or Mid draft first, then use High for the version you intend to keep.
| Setting | Best use | Credit approach |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Prompt and composition tests | Use for early iterations |
| Mid | Internal review and visual checks | Use once the concept is set |
| High | Final or presentation-ready clips | Save for the selected version |
Before generating, make the prompt specific enough to reduce avoidable retries. Name the subject, setting, action, and desired camera movement; then decide which visual details must be clear in the final clip. A product close-up needs readable surface detail, while a rough concept for a moving camera can be assessed at Low quality.
To protect credits, use this sequence in YB Video:
- Write one focused prompt with a clear subject and action.
- Generate a Low-quality draft to inspect composition and motion.
- Revise only the prompt details that are not working.
- Move to Mid when you need a clearer review of appearance.
- Generate the approved version at High only if the final use calls for it.
Match quality to delivery, not to habit. A temporary concept shared with a teammate rarely needs the same finish as a client-facing asset. For a short internal motion test, Low may be enough; for a final branded clip, High can be worth the additional credit use after the framing and prompt are approved.
