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!

Batching similar ideas in one session helps me save credits and avoid unnecessary retries.
To avoid wasting credits, refine your prompts for clarity and detail, use previews or smaller sizes first, and review results carefully before finalizing.
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.
To avoid wasting credits, focus on crafting precise and detailed prompts. The clearer my description, the more accurate and satisfying the result
Consider using smaller previews or lower resolution outputs first. This way, I can assess the overall concept before committing to full-scale generation
It's tough when you run out of credits too quickly. One thing that’s helped me is being very specific with my prompts
Experimenting with simpler prompts first can save credits.
Try to check the preview of what is generated before confirming the output.
i think you try consdring using imgify ai photo enhancer for it as it is free to use.
