Pricing

Estimate production cost before you render.

Use the same credit math the studio applies in production. The estimate rolls up storyboard stills, filming, optional Topaz upscaling, and typical project overhead into one project total.

Upscaling

Estimated total

3,096-3,107 credits

Veo 3.1 Fast at 1080p, 23 shots at 8s each, storyboards with Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, no upscaling, and overhead shown as a range that includes optional soundtrack generation.

Video renders2,668 credits
Storyboards414 credits
UpscalingNot included
Other overhead14-25 credits
Rendered source runtime3:04

This estimate assumes one 4K storyboard frame per shot before filming, applies Topaz once to the finished master when enabled, and shows overhead as a range that covers project setup, planning, final assembly, and an optional generated soundtrack. Estimates do not include retakes.

Veo 3.1 Fast116 credits / 8s shot

Image to video at 1080p runs 14.5 credits per rendered second.

Gemini 2.5 Flash Image18 credits / storyboard frame

4K storyboard frame pricing for one approved still per shot.

Topaz Video UpscaleOptional add-on

Unavailable for 4K masters and productions longer than 300 seconds.

Other overhead14-25 credits / project

Project setup, planning/orchestration, final assembly, and optional soundtrack allowance.

Video model pricing

Compare video generation models by resolution and shot length.

Rows show the longest supported shot for each model and resolution so the credits-per-second rate is easy to compare. When image-to-video and reference-to-video price out the same, they appear as one row.

Upscaling

Budget Topaz passes separately from filming.

Topaz runs once on the finished master, not on every shot. Pricing depends on the source resolution tier, and different 2x and 4x outputs can still share the same published rate when they both land above 1080px on Venice's output-height pricing bands.

Credit totals already include the standard 20% markup over raw model cost. Storyboards assume one 4K storyboard frame per shot. The Overhead column rolls up project setup, planning/orchestration, final assembly, and any music or upscaling add-ons. Estimates do not include retakes.
