Read the costs separately
No approved footage yet: cost per usable second is undefined, even if the generation itself was delivered.
Minimum pack cash assumes a fresh balance after all confirmed restorations. Pending jobs, the order of attempts and refunds, existing balances, payment fees and taxes can change your actual cash outlay. Use checkout receipts for what you paid.

Budget one usable product clip
Suppose you make three 15-second 720p takes and keep one. At one credit per attempt, three $2.50 starting packs cost $7.50. From the $99 upfront pack, those same three credits allocate $2.97, leaving 97 credits. Your purchase is still $99, not $2.97.
For 30-second 480p text-to-video, one request uses 0.5 credit: $1.25 of a starting pack, or 49.5¢ allocated from the $99 pack. The minimum starting purchase is $2.50, with half a credit left after one such request. Resolution, duration and any extra inputs matter.
These are hypothetical budgets, not measured success rates. A delivered take you reject is still a paid attempt. Count editing, reference images and other production expenses separately. Check the live quote and capacity before purchasing.
Use the shot-review template to record picture, sound and continuity separately.
