The Hidden Cost of Cheap AI Video Generation
The headline price of AI video generation tools like Kling Standard ($10/month), Runway Standard ($15), and Luma ($10) masks the true cost: a 70-second short film cost $123 and a 3-minute animated episode burned through $750 in credits due to subscription floors, overgeneration waste (only 25% of clips make the final cut), and hidden human labor costs that pricing pages never mention.

Runway Aleph 2.0, Kling Omni Edit, Luma Ray3 Modify, LTX Retake, and Seedance Repair now allow partial repairs of AI-generated video clips instead of full re-rolls, with the average production requiring 3 generations per usable shot and only 25% making the final cut.
