AI Video Cost Guide
The final clip duration is only a small part of the real production cost. Retries, discarded generations, creator time and revisions usually matter more than the price of one successful render.
Real cost formula
Track generation attempts, successful duration, reference images, music/voice, editing and creator time separately. Then add revision reserve and target margin.
Production cost = AI generation + image/audio tools + creator labor + other expenses + revision reserve
