Insta Video Cost Prices the Footage You Actually Keep
An AI-video production calculator that estimates project cost after retries, variants, clip length, billing routes, and rejected takes.
Field notes
The calculator models production waste by separating generated footage from accepted footage, then applies the selected provider route and model specification to the project. Presets cover social ads, Shorts, product clips, a one-minute sequence, API outputs, and an agency case, while the example tracks 10 accepted clips from 2:30 generated and 0:50 kept. The page also exposes methodology and official pricing-source links, although its headline route count does not match the selector count.
