Video automation ROI calculator
Estimate the operational value of video automation.
Answer six non-PII questions and see manual hours, estimated render cost, savings, and a defensible break-even estimate when setup cost is provided.
The result is an estimate with visible assumptions, not a promise of revenue.
Submit the assumptions above to generate the ROI result.
How this estimate works
Credits follow duration × FPS × width × height, normalized to one minute of 1080p30. Monthly savings are manual labor cost minus automated review labor and render cost. Break-even is only shown when a one-time setup cost and positive savings per output are provided.
- Automation uses the review minutes entered for each output.
- Render estimate uses 20 seconds of 1080p30 per output and the best published package rate.
- Savings exclude creative revisions, source acquisition, approvals, distribution, and platform fees.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a guaranteed ROI forecast?
No. It is a transparent estimate based on your inputs, shared credit math, and explicit assumptions. Validate the result with a representative workflow.
Does the calculator require an email?
No. The result is available immediately. An email should only be requested later for an optional report or saved estimate.
What should I do after the result?
Use the recommended workflow or API route to produce a first render and replace assumptions with observed data.
Turn the estimate into one observed render.
The next useful measurement is a completed output that lets you compare this estimate with the workflow you would actually run.
