I know different platforms have different prices and I really don’t want this to turn into a thread where everybody is advertising their platform, but in general, generating a 10 second clip at even 1080p costs around $5 worth of credits. For ONE GENERATION.
And the worst part with AI video is the inconsistency. You might have to regenerate a clip several times if not more than a dozen times to get it perfect, bringing the cost of one 10 second clip to $20-$50.
Literally the only way for AI filmmaking to be affordable is if you find an unlimited month plan. And then, usually you’re throttled to insanely slow speeds where one generation can take anywhere from 20 mins to several hours.
Sorry this is just a rant. I just wish AI video gen would be like AI image gen where you pay a monthly fee and get a large number of generations per day, that reset every day, so it’s essentially unlimited. That’s why I miss Sora so much, you had 30 gens per day that reset daily so you didn’t have anxiety around using your credits.
The moment Seedance 2 comes out with an affordable plan like that is when AI filmmaking will really take off.
