Free actions and limits

Filmit MCP works with a free Filmit account. Free accounts include 50 actions a day. Filmit Pro has no daily allowance.

What counts as an action

An action is one thing Claude does in your app: reading a sequence, placing a clip, adding a batch of markers, changing an effect, rendering a frame. Claude usually takes a few actions for each request, because it reads before and after it edits.

A simple request like “add a marker here” takes a couple of actions. A lower third with text, styling and animation takes a handful. A rough pass over a short timeline can take a few dozen. So 50 a day is enough to try things properly and to get real work done on lighter days.

These don’t count:

Checking which apps are connected.
Anything your app never received, for example when the computer was asleep or the app was closed.

What happens near and at the limit

10 left: Claude mentions it once, next to a normal result.
At 50: the next action doesn’t run, and nothing in your project changes. Claude tells you that you’ve used today’s free actions and how long until they reset.
Reset: the count starts again at midnight UTC.

To see where you are, ask Claude “how many Filmit actions do I have left today?”

Filmit Pro

Filmit Pro (monthly, yearly, or a Teams seat) has no daily allowance, including during the 7-day free trial.

If you start a trial or subscribe when you hit the limit, go back to your chat and say “carry on”. Claude picks up where it stopped, usually within half a minute, with no reconnecting.

See Plans for what each plan includes, or Pricing to start a trial.

Limits for everyone

60 actions a minute. This protects against a runaway loop. Normal editing never gets near it. If it is ever reached, wait a minute and tell Claude to carry on.
Busy times. If the connector is ever under very heavy load, free accounts may pause for a while before members do. Claude tells you if this happens.
Claude’s own limits. How much you can chat with Claude depends on your Claude plan with Anthropic. Filmit has no say in that.

If something looks wrong

You’re on Pro but Claude says you’re at the limit. Wait half a minute and say “carry on”. If it still says so, disconnect Filmit in Claude’s Settings → Connectors and connect it again. Connections made a while ago sometimes need this once.
A payment didn’t go through. Your account works like a free account until the payment is sorted. Update your card in Account and billing.
