Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: video is priced per second of output, so clip length and resolution dominate — a few seconds can cost more than many images. In practice the biggest savings come from generating shorter clips at the needed resolution, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by multiplying per-second video price by clip length and clip count. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
