Know what is included
A useful estimate starts with clear assumptions
The calculator assumes a new image or a full generated clip for each five seconds of your video. A 30-second video uses six visual generations; a 31-second video uses seven. Existing footage has no AI visual-generation charge in this estimate.
AI prices come from the generation examples on our pricing page, checked 6 October 2026. They include the 20% published markup. One creation credit represents one US cent of metered spend. The dollar equivalent here is a credit value, not a subscription quote.
Writing, narration, rendering and checks are excluded unless you enter their combined estimate in “Other steps.” Repeated attempts, unused clips, licensed stock and your editing time can add costs. An actual workflow estimates its own steps before you run it.
For a different kind of production, read our measured video runs. Those use existing or stock footage and are not a benchmark for generating every scene with AI.
Video cost calculator questions
Does this include my monthly subscription?
No. The estimate describes the creation credits for the scenario you enter. Subscription prices, included credits and top-ups are listed separately on the pricing page.
Why does an AI video clip cost more than an image?
They are different generations. This calculator uses Seedream 4.0 or Nano Banana 2 image examples and a five-second MiniMax H3 Max 1080p video example. It does not treat their prices as interchangeable.
Will the exact video cost this amount?
The result is a planning estimate. Your selected models, settings, retries and complete workflow determine actual usage. Review the estimate in LoopBatch before starting a paid run.
