Cut AI video costs 87%: reroll at 480p, then upscale the keeper to 4K
alifcoder · x · 2026-10-17
A cost-optimization workflow for AI video: rerolling a 10-second clip five times at 720p costs $9, while generating at 480p costs $4 plus $1 for a single 4K Creative Upscale — $5 total with a better final file. Steps: set starting resolution to 480p, reroll and tweak camera moves/expressions, pick the keeper, then apply 4K Creative Upscale. The core idea: separate cheap experimentation from paid final output.
