What goes into the real cost
A finished AI video budget includes generated clips, failed attempts, editing, voice or audio, captions, music, stock assets, creative direction and revision time. ClipBudget focuses on the generation math, then links to surrounding workflow guides.
Typical cost drivers
- Faces and hands: more retakes.
- Product accuracy: more image anchoring and revisions.
- Native audio: higher model tiers but fewer external tools.
- Client approval: higher buffer than personal content.
