Why this isn't trivial
The part people underestimate: per-second pricing means a minute is 60x a second, so full-minute clips are a serious cost at high resolution. In practice the biggest savings come from assembling shorter clips instead of long continuous generations, so it is worth modelling before you commit.
How it's calculated
We estimate this by multiplying the per-second price by 60 at your resolution tier. Every figure uses the current provider prices baked into the site (reviewed daily), and you can override any input to match your own assumptions.
