This is a partial production estimate.
The figure includes generated scene images and synthesized narration, with the extra generation reserve you select. It is not a total video price, a subscription price or a guarantee of accepted output.
The scenario assumes 1080p source images, 130 spoken words per minute and 6.4 characters per word. Average shot length estimates the image count. In a real production, image changes follow the script’s context, and measured narration determines the final runtime.
Know which models the presets select.
Economy uses FLUX Schnell and Eleven Flash v2.5. Balanced keeps Schnell and uses Eleven Multilingual v2. Cinematic selects FLUX.2 Pro with Multilingual v2. These are production choices, not measured quality ratings.
The engine’s planning rates were checked on 11 September 2026: Schnell at $0.003 per rounded megapixel; FLUX.2 Pro using the provider’s $0.045 example for a 1920 × 1080 image; narration at $0.05 or $0.10 per 1,000 characters for the selected voice model.
Add the rest of the production budget separately.
Writing, generated animation, talking avatars, reference-guided edits, stock licences, rendering, storage, subscriptions, taxes and your editing time are excluded. Actual rates depend on the provider and account. A reserve is an allowance for more attempts, not a prediction of how many failures you will have.
LongVid currently offers reviewed early access without an online paid-plan checkout. Your connected provider accounts bill their own usage. Invited-account cloud export is not yet available; current MP4 assembly uses an operator worker.
