Cost test: generate at 480p then upscale to 4K, saving 44% vs 720p rerolls
AIwithGhotai · x · 2026-10-15
An AI creator shares a money-saving video generation workflow, timed with Dreamina's $1.5 first-month promo (31 Seedance 10s videos).
For the same 5 rerolls:
- Generating directly at 720p: $9 total, output still 720p.
- Generating at 480p, picking the best shot, then upscaling to 4K: $5 total — 44% cheaper, at higher final resolution.
The idea: cheap low-res exploration, upscale only the winner. Note the post also promotes Dreamina's pricing.
