How Much Does AI Video Cost? Real Prices Per Clip
Biggsfield team · October 18, 2026 · 5 min read
Every AI video generation on Biggsfield costs a fixed number of credits that depends on the model, clip length, resolution and whether sound is included. This guide lists real per-clip prices at common settings and shows how to draft cheaply, upscale smartly and choose the right model for each job.
How credits work
Biggsfield prices every run in credits. The cost depends on four things: which model you use, how many seconds you generate, the output resolution, and whether the model renders native sound. The same 5-second idea can cost 34 credits or 970 credits, so it pays to know the price before you hit generate.
Every price below also shows the approximate dollar cost on the Creator plan. As a rule of thumb, one credit there works out to just under one cent. A 395-credit clip, for example, is about $3.80.
A useful way to compare models is credits per second. Kling 3.0 Pro costs 28 credits per second with sound. Kling 3.0 4K costs 70. MiniMax Hailuo H3 Turbo at 768P costs under 7. That spread is the main reason a smart workflow saves so much money.
Premium models: when the shot has to be perfect
Seedance 2.5 (ByteDance) is the flagship. It supports clips up to 30 seconds, native audio with lip sync, multiple reference images and several shots in one prompt. A 5-second clip with sound costs 184 credits at 480p (~$1.77), 395 at 720p (~$3.80) and 970 at 1080p (~$9.33). At 8 seconds the prices are 294, 631 and 1552 credits (~$14.92 at 1080p).
Kling 3.0 4K (Kuaishou) gives true 4K output with multi-shot and native audio. With sound, it costs 350 credits for 5 seconds (~$3.37), 560 for 8, 700 for 10 and 1050 for 15 (~$10.10).
Veo 3.1 (Google) is built for cinematic realism with synchronized dialogue, in single continuous shots of up to 8 seconds. A 4-second clip costs 267 credits at both 720p and 1080p (~$2.57), and 400 credits at 4K. A 6-second clip costs 401 credits at 720p or 1080p and 600 at 4K (~$5.77). Because 720p and 1080p cost the same on Veo, there is no reason to choose 720p.
Mid-range models: the best value for most work
Kling 3.0 Pro is the 1080p version of Kling 3, with multi-shot and native audio. It costs 140 credits for 5 seconds (~$1.35), 224 for 8, 280 for 10 and 420 for 15 (~$4.04). For many creators this is the default finishing model.
Kling O3 Pro is designed for character and product consistency across up to four reference images. It is the cheapest Kling option: 117 credits for 5 seconds (~$1.13), 187 for 8, 234 for 10 and 350 for 15.
Wan 3.0 Prime (Alibaba) has native audio and handles long, detailed prompts well. With sound, 5 seconds costs 57 credits at 480p (~$0.55), 117 at 720p and 234 at 1080p. At 8 seconds it costs 91, 187 and 374 credits.
FLUX 3 Video (Black Forest Labs) supports sound, clips up to 20 seconds and resolutions up to 2160p. With sound, 5 seconds costs 142 credits at 720p, 242 at 1080p and 267 at 1440p. At 8 seconds it costs 227, 387 and 427 credits.
Luma Ray 3.2 is chosen for cinematic light, HDR looks and seamless loops. It has no native sound. 5 seconds costs 84 credits at 540p, 167 at 720p and 334 at 1080p. 10 seconds costs 167, 334 and 667 credits.
Budget and speed models
Veo 3.1 Fast uses the same prompting as Veo 3.1 at a much lower price. With sound, 4 seconds costs 100 credits at 720p or 1080p (~$0.96) and 200 at 4K. Six seconds costs 150 credits at 720p or 1080p and 300 at 4K. That is well under half the price of standard Veo for the same shot length.
MiniMax Hailuo H3 Turbo is described as fast and very affordable, ideal for automations and quick tests. It costs 34 credits for 5 seconds at 768P (~$0.33) and 67 at 1080P. At 8 seconds it costs 54 and 107 credits. Its sibling, MiniMax Hailuo H3 Max, focuses on realistic human performance and costs 67 credits for 5 seconds at 768P and 134 at 1080P. Neither MiniMax model generates sound, so plan to add audio later in Biggs Cut or with Biggs Voice.
Editing, extending and finishing costs
Fixing a clip is often cheaper than regenerating it. Edit Video with FLUX 3 re-renders a 5-second clip in a new look for 25 credits (~$0.24) while keeping motion and framing. Edit Video with Kling O3 changes specific elements such as wardrobe, weather or background for 140 credits per 5 seconds. Gemini Omni edit takes one-line instructions like "make it night" for 84 credits at 720p, 125 at 1080p and 250 at 4K.
To make a shot longer, Extend Video with MiniMax H3 continues from the last frame for 67 credits (5 s, 768P), 134 (1080P) or 267 (2K). Extend Video with FLUX 3 keeps audio and costs 342 credits for 5 seconds at 720p.
Finishing tools have flat prices per 5 seconds. Topaz Video Upscale (4K, sharpening, noise removal) costs 134 credits. Sync Lipsync 3 costs 250. OmniHuman 2, which turns one photo and an audio track into a talking-human video, costs 400.
Seven ways to spend less per finished shot
1. Draft at low resolution. Test your prompt, timing and camera move at 480p or 768P before you commit. A Wan 3.0 Prime draft at 480p costs 57 credits, compared with 234 at 1080p.
2. Finish at 720p, then upscale. A Seedance 2.5 clip at 720p (395 credits) plus Topaz Video Upscale (134 credits) totals 529 credits, compared with 970 for native 1080p. Kling 3.0 Pro plus Topaz costs 274 credits, compared with 350 for Kling 3.0 4K. Native resolution can hold fine detail better, so compare both on your hero shots.
3. Use Fast models for iteration. Veo 3.1 Fast lets you explore Veo-style shots for 100 to 150 credits instead of 267 to 401.
4. Know where resolution is free. On both Veo models, 720p and 1080p cost the same, so always pick 1080p.
5. Be selective with Compare models. Running one idea on up to four models helps you choose, but each run is billed separately. Compare with cheap drafts, not 1080p finals.
6. Get the start frame right in an image model first. Nano Banana 2.1 costs 8 credits at 1K, and FLUX 3 costs 8 credits at 1k. Animating a locked first frame cuts down on wasted video runs. On Unlimited, Seedream 5 Lite is free in relax mode for everyday images.
7. Edit instead of regenerating. If the motion works but the look does not, a 25-credit FLUX 3 edit is far cheaper than a new premium render.
Draft (Wan 3.0 Prime, 480p, 5 s): A barista slides a latte across a wooden counter toward camera, steam rising. Slow push-in at eye level, warm morning window light from the left. Sound of cups clinking and soft café chatter.
Final (Kling 3.0 Pro, 5 s): Close-up of a barista's hands sliding a latte across an oak counter. The camera dollies in slowly and stops on the latte art. Warm side light. She says: "Your usual."
A sample budget for a 30-second ad
Say you need six 5-second shots. A draft pass with Wan 3.0 Prime at 480p costs 6 x 57 = 342 credits (~$3.30). A final pass with Kling 3.0 Pro costs 6 x 140 = 840 credits (~$8.10). The total is 1,182 credits, or about $11.40.
Rendering all six shots directly in Seedance 2.5 at 1080p would cost 5,820 credits (~$56), with no room for retakes. Save your premium credits for the one or two shots that need Seedance's lip sync or Veo's dialogue realism. Then assemble everything, add subtitles and export every aspect ratio in Biggs Cut.
Questions
What is the cheapest way to generate AI video on Biggsfield?
MiniMax Hailuo H3 Turbo at 768P costs 34 credits for 5 seconds (about $0.33 on Creator), but it has no sound. The cheapest option with native audio is Wan 3.0 Prime at 480p, at 57 credits for 5 seconds.
Is it cheaper to upscale than to render at 1080p or 4K?
Usually, yes. Topaz Video Upscale costs 134 credits per 5 seconds. Seedance 2.5 at 720p plus an upscale costs 529 credits, compared with 970 for native 1080p. Compare the results on important shots, because native rendering can preserve more fine detail.
Do models without native sound cost less?
Often, but not always. MiniMax H3 models and Luma Ray 3.2 generate silent video, so you need to add voice, music or effects separately with Biggs Voice or in Biggs Cut. If dialogue matters, a model with native audio and lip sync can save you a separate Lipsync 3 run, which costs 250 credits per 5 seconds.
