This is a partial production estimate.
The figure includes generated scene images and synthesized narration, with the optional animation clips and planning reserve you select. It is not a total video price, a subscription price, or a guarantee of accepted output.
The scenario assumes 130 spoken words per minute and 6.4 characters per word. Average shot length estimates image count. In a real production, image changes follow the script’s context, and measured narration determines the final runtime.
Understand what each model choice means.
Use narration and image models from LongVid’s current public catalog integration. The calculator uses the same model IDs already present in this app and only recommends models the platform can call today.
Model rates are shown when known and sourced in the catalog; unknown prices are shown as unknown and are not replaced with $0.00.
Add the rest of the production budget separately.
Actual writing-model charges beyond the flat planning reserve, presenter edits, stock footage/rights, licensing, provider subscriptions, rendering, storage, taxes, and your editing time are excluded.
LongVid is not open to the public yet. Joining the waitlist is free. When the studio opens, your connected provider accounts will bill their own usage. Rendering is currently a private operator pilot for videos up to 30 minutes; its price is not included in this calculator.

Generate a small reviewed sample and record the actual scene count, retry behavior and narration length. Use those real measurements to replace planning assumptions for this calculator and then compare scenarios for the same production period.
