# Save AI Credits with Timeframe Processing

> Optimize your credit usage by processing only the most valuable parts of your content.

Save AI credits by telling Flowjin to process only the parts of your video that matter most.

## How it works

The timeframe processing option lets you exclude parts of your video that aren't clip-worthy, like intros, outros, or greetings. This saves credits by processing only the valuable content.

## Setting your timeframe

To optimize credit usage:

1. Upload your file and open the project
2. Locate the timeframe processing option in import settings
3. Trim the beginning and end timestamps to exclude unwanted sections
4. Process only the content-rich middle section

## When to use timeframe processing

Exclude sections like:

* Podcast intros and outros
* Meeting greetings and sign-offs
* Long pauses or technical difficulties
* Any non-clickworthy segments

**Example:** Trimming 2 minutes from the start and 2 minutes from the end saves you 4 minutes of credit usage.

Use your credits wisely by focusing AI analysis on the content that drives engagement.
