What's happening?
The user can understand a capability more clearly after creating a real video. A relevant gate can connect a paid plan to an immediate task; a gate on the first basic outcome would create a different experience.
Why it might work
How the mechanism creates value
A relevant capability gives a customer a specific reason to pay. The paid boundary is more understandable when the core workflow already works and the extra capability serves an advanced need. Hiding essential setup behind a paywall can prevent users from discovering value.
