AI video workflow: reroll at 480p then one $1 upscale to 4K cuts costs 87%

AI filmmaker FellMentKE shares a cost-saving workflow: set resolution to 480p before generating, reroll to fix camera movement and expressions, then apply a single Creative Upscale to 4K on the keeper.

The math: five 720p generations cost $9 and stay at 720p, while five 480p rolls ($4) plus a $1 4K upscale totals $5—paying the expensive step once instead of five times, an 87% saving that takes about a minute.
