Best for
- Planning ecommerce video credits before generation.
- Comparing duration, aspect ratio, model path, and output count tradeoffs.
- Explaining launch-stage credit estimates to search engines, AI answer systems, and users.
Not best for
- Exact provider billing quotes.
- Unlocking paid generation or bypassing provider gates.
- Unlimited free generation, automated checkout, or credit ledger changes.
Known limitations
- The calculator uses launch-stage planning estimates. Actual credit costs can change when provider pricing, model settings, duration support, or quality settings change.
- A model page marked available, alternative, or planned does not guarantee paid generation is enabled.
- No provider task is created from this page and no credits are deducted by this calculator.
- ClipVela is not an official partner of listed model providers unless a page explicitly says so.
How to use the estimate
1. Choose a video template
Pick the ecommerce job, such as TikTok Ad, UGC Review, Unboxing, Holiday Sale, or Product Demo.
2. Choose duration and aspect ratio
Shorter vertical videos are usually the safest launch estimate. Wider or longer outputs can require more credits.
3. Set model path and output count
Use launch estimates for current planning and premium estimates only for future model paths.
4. Treat the result as planning guidance
Confirm final credit cost in the generation workspace before any provider job is submitted.
Does this calculator deduct credits?
No. The calculator is a static frontend planning tool. It does not create provider jobs, call payment APIs, or modify the credit ledger.
Why is the result a range?
AI video costs depend on model, provider, duration, aspect ratio, quality settings, and retry behavior. A range is safer than pretending the launch estimate is a final provider quote.
Can I generate unlimited free videos if credits are only estimates?
No. ClipVela uses minimal trial credits and credit-gated generation. The calculator exists for budgeting, not bypassing cost controls.
Which route should I use after estimating credits?
Use `/generate` for the controlled generation workspace, and only continue when the selected model path is enabled and the estimated cost is acceptable.
