You Decide Where the Money Goes
AI short drama cost breakdown: free signup; scripts per call, images per piece, video per second, voice by usage. Test one shot before scaling an episode — you control the spend.
A short drama spends in four places: text calls for scripts, images per piece for designs and scenes, video by generated seconds, voice by usage. Signup is free; every line item is real usage — nothing generated, nothing charged.
The saving trick is tiering: test a small shot to confirm face and style; give key scenes the second pass and 2K; let transition shots ride the batch defaults. Failed or errored generations are refunded.
Versus subscriptions: a Jimeng membership plus editing software is fixed spend whether you use it or not. Here you pay for what you render — stop producing, stop spending.
常见问题
What does one episode cost roughly?
It depends on shot count, duration, and tiers. Test one shot first, then estimate seconds and voice for the episode; the ledger breaks spend down per shot.
Am I charged for failures?
Failures and errors are refunded. You pay for generations that actually ran.
How do I control the budget?
Batch at default tiers and upscale only key shots to 2K; rewrite text with the cheaper models; do not fill a whole episode in one go.
