# Take

> A take is one rendered attempt at a scene. Rendering several takes of the same prompt and keeping the best is how generated video gets directed rather than accepted.

Takes cost credits each, so the economical pattern is drafts on a cheap engine and keepers on an expensive one, or several takes on a seeded engine where variation is controlled.

## On eroq

One to four takes per scene in Film mode and per clip in Quick mode; the picker keeps one, each take refunds itself if it fails.

## FAQ

### Do failed takes cost credits?

No — every failed take refunds itself individually.
