Check credits and set a spending cap with Claude
See your balance and prices for free, then set a goal budget so Filem itself stops spending at your limit.
What you'll do
Ask Claude what things cost before you make anything, then set a budget that Filem enforces on its side.

1. Check your balance and prices
What's my Filem balance, and what would a 10-second video cost?
Claude runs a dry run: a free price check. Nothing is spent.
2. Set a budget Filem enforces
Ask for a goal budget by name, so the cap lives in Filem, not only in the chat:
Set a budget of 100 credits for what we make today, and ask me before any single render over 40 credits. Please set it inside Filem with a goal budget, so Filem itself stops spending at 100 credits.
Claude proposes the goal. Nothing is enforced until you approve it:
Yes, approve it.
Claude asks before it uses each Filem tool. "Allow once" for a render is your second check on the price.
Everything Claude makes is saved in your MCP history.
