Exciting First Wave of Subscription Improvements
Here's what's new to the ActionVFX subscription, including custom credit packs, Essentials Catalog expansions, and more!
Last Updated: Jan 27, 2025
We’re excited to announce that we just launched the first wave of improvements to the ActionVFX subscription! Here’s what’s new:
Custom Credit Packs
Credit packs are available for subscribers to scale their plan by purchasing additional credits as they need them. Previously, users were restricted to preset credit packs of 5, 10, and 20. However, this resulted in subscribers needing to purchase unnecessary credits and artists having difficulty passing costs down to clients.
Subscribers are now able to purchase the exact number of credits they need to download assets, without restrictions. Additionally, subscribers still get bulk discounts on larger credit purchases.
Essentials Plan Now Available
After launching the ActionVFX subscription, we quickly realized that not every user benefits from month-over-month credit accumulation. Some users, especially hobbyists or freelancers, don't do enough compositing to justify this cost, or only require assets from the Essentials Catalog. We're excited to launch a new plan that caters to the best interest of these artists.
We just introduced the Essentials Plan, a new low-cost plan designed with freelancers in mind. Here’s what subscribers get with the Essentials Plan:
- 20 daily downloads from the Essentials Catalog - a selection of 3,000 premium assets from over 90 collections.
- The ability to purchase custom credit packs of any amount at any time.
- Download in 4K and 6K from the Practice Footage Library.
If you typically need less than 2-3 paid collections (or less than 30-50 individual assets) per year, this plan is a great option for you!
For individuals, the Essentials Plan costs just $29/month (billed annually) or $39/month (billed monthly). For small teams and studios, the plan costs $99/month billed annually or $139/month billed monthly.
The Essentials Catalog Just Became Substantial
If the new Essentials Plan piqued your interest or if you’re currently subscribed to one of our Plus plans, you’ll be happy to know that we doubled the size of the Essentials Catalog to include 3,000 premium assets from 91 collections. These assets are available to all subscribers on a paid plan.
Some of the top collections now in the Essentials:
- Dust Waves Vol. 2
- Exploding Debris Vol. 1
- Ground Fire Vol. 1
- Fire Sparks - Close
- AH-64 Apache Helicopter 3D Model

Monthly Additions to the Essentials Catalog
We're excited to announce that we'll be adding new collections to the Essentials Catalog on the first of each month. These collections, which normally cost credits, will be available to download without credits from the Essentials Catalog all month.
The first monthly Essentials Catalog collection will be added on February 1st!
Other ActionVFX Updates:
- Licenses are now available as PDFs for easier proof-of-licensing for your clients.
- Free assets are now available on your “My Downloads” page after downloading.
