icp

  • text: Production companies, creative agencies and studios producing commercials or episodic generative video with multiple collaborators.

objections

  • objection: Will this replace our existing editing suite?

  • objection: Will generation costs be predictable?
    response: Pricing separates subscriptions and generation charges, with a model price calculator; estimate actual iterations per shot.
