    Renderly adds prompted images inside one-call video renders

    Renderly says creators can now put text prompts in dynamic image slots and have images generated while its API renders a video. A render can include up to 20 image prompts; the company also offers a standalone image endpoint and MCP tool. The underlying image-model maker is not identified in the announcement, so this is a Renderly workflow release, not a new model trained by Renderly.

    Renderly prices generated video images by size and speed tier

    With AI Images, Renderly lists 1K output at 0.5 credits for quality or 0.2 for fast; 2K output doubles those rates. Image credits use the same balance as rendering, which has a separate charge. The company says identical image inputs return a cached result without a second image charge, and new accounts receive test credits. The announcement does not provide a fixed dollar price per image.
