Can I purchase Shine Credits in advance?

Yes. Many producers buy Outshinery Studio Shine Credits ahead of a release season or before a fiscal year closes, so the budget is committed and the Shine Credits are waiting when the label files are ready.

Two ways to do it:

• Top up a plan. If you are on a monthly or annual subscription, click your Shine Credit total on the left side of your Studio dashboard, then Top up Shine Credits. Top-ups are charged at your plan rate, not the one-at-a-time rate.
• Buy one at a time. With no plan, the same button reads Buy Shine Credits, at $129 each.

Shine Credits are valid for one year, and they roll over for as long as your subscription stays active. If you cancel, what you hold stays valid for one year after that. Details: When do Shine Credits expire?
