Will my AI credits be deducted again if I import media analyzed in a previous project into a new project?

No, there will be no repeated deductions. V16 utilizes a local feature fingerprint caching mechanism, which supports the automatic reuse of historical analysis data across projects on the same device.

[Operation] ① Understand the billing mechanism: Credits are only consumed upon the initial analysis request (videos <30 minutes are charged at 2 credits/min, 30–60 minutes at 3 credits/min, and images at 1 credit/image); ② When importing the same media into a new project on the same computer, the system automatically compares the file fingerprint and retrieves the previously generated structured tags and timestamps within seconds, without sending another billing request to the cloud; ③ Note the risks: If you change devices, rename the original file, or clear the software's local cache database, the cross-project reuse will become invalid, and you will need to request a billed analysis again.

[Verification] After importing the media into the new project, there is no need to click analyze. Select the media and check the right information panel directly; the keywords, descriptions, and editing suggestions will be automatically loaded and displayed.
