Calculation method

The estimate on this page starts with usable finished videos, adds retry attempts, applies the selected quality multiplier, then compares the billable workload against Vidu's plan floor, included seconds, and overage rate. That makes the result closer to a real production budget than a raw list price.

Pricing notes

Off-peak pricing can be lower than normal generation pricing.
The calculator uses normal Q3 pricing rather than off-peak discounts.
