## Valmera delivery notes

Accounts and uploads are free; indexing and agent editing require a subscription. Creator starts at $15/month for 1,000 credits, with no trial on a new checkout. Check current terms at https://valmera.io/subscribe.

Uploads must fit both 14 GB and three hours. Final MP4 creation takes place in Studio. Captions are burned into the picture; Studio does not import or export SRT/VTT files. Paid exports have no in-video overlay watermark and include a brief Valmera end card. Publishing to social platforms is a separate step. A compatible MCP client can edit and review with supported tools but cannot initiate the final Studio export.
