"Veo will cost more than hiring a lawyer" is a better way to explain the costs.

That's a lot of money.

That’s something like $300 for 10 minuets

It’s beyond lawyer rates

It sounds better at $30/min. Still stupid expensive, so it better deliver. As of now only tech enthusiasts are using it to say "haha look what I made".

But when these video generators are more fleshed out they'll be competing with stock videos, and likely are now. The value proposition is there if you're a company buying custom imagery from professionals. Exciting to see how this plays out.

how many iterations until you get a minute of video you're happy with?

[-] SuperSleuth@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Good question. I bet there's decent money to be made in prompt engineering.

But what if it generates something for you and it’s not good, do you get a few retries?

[-] recursiveInsurgent@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

At least it’s not 50 cents per second of processing time.
