How cost scales with clip length for Standard 720p
AI video generation is priced per second of output. Costs vary significantly based on the provider, quality tier, and resolution. Higher-quality models produce more realistic motion and better visual fidelity but cost considerably more. Most providers offer both budget and premium tiers to suit different use cases.
Pricing data is approximate and may not reflect the latest changes. Always verify current rates on provider pricing pages before making purchasing decisions.
AI video generation requires generating many frames per second (typically 24-30), each with temporal consistency. This demands significantly more compute than a single image. A 10-second clip at 24fps is effectively 240 coherent images.
720p is sufficient for social media, web content, and drafts. Choose 1080p for final production, YouTube uploads, or any content that will be viewed on larger screens. The cost difference between 720p and 1080p is typically 2-3x.
Most providers generate clips between 5-20 seconds. For longer content, you'll need to generate multiple clips and edit them together. Some providers like Sora support up to 20-second clips, while others max out at 5-10 seconds.
