Dude Coins are the internal currency that powers all AI features in Filmustage. Every time you run an AI operation — such as an AI script breakdown, an AI budget, or AI-created storyboard frame images — Filmustage deducts a small number of Dude Coins from your balance.
Filmustage deducts Dude Coins automatically when an operation runs.
Where to see the rates
The Dude Coin rate for every AI operation is listed in the Subscription Plans window:
Go to app.filmustage.com.
Select your Dude Coins balance in the top-right corner.
Select Upgrade Plan.
Filmustage opens the Subscription Plans window. The rate for each AI operation appears in the AI Features list.

Where Dude Coins come from
Filmustage credits Dude Coins to your account at the start of each billing cycle on the Director's Cut plan. If you're on an annual plan, you receive a bonus allocation on top of your base amount. Unused Dude Coins carry over to the next cycle as long as your subscription stays active.
