Google's Veo 2 mannequin was introduced final December, and now we now have an concept of what utilizing it can value. In line with its pricing web page: 50 cents per second of footage.
Veo 2 is presently restricted to two-minute clips in as much as 4K decision — a good sight greater than the 20-second, 1080p clips generated by ChatGPT's Sora mannequin. It's considerably tougher to match the 2 on pricing as Sora makes use of a subscription-based strategy. The staggering $200 ChatGPT Professional plan entitles a person to 500 movies per thirty days, whereas the Plus plan caps issues at 50 movies and hobbles the utmost high quality and size to 720p and 5 seconds, respectively. Veo 2 customers, in the meantime, simply pay piecemeal every time they select.
Large-budget characteristic movies value many multiples of Veo's pricing per second to supply, however that's probably not what the mannequin is at present looking for or capable of compete with. Google is already testing Veo 2 as a way to rapidly generate backgrounds for YouTube Shorts by way of its Dream Display characteristic. It (and Sora) are additionally more likely to take a chew out of the inventory footage trade, the place high-quality clips can value 100 instances what a Veo 2 clip would. In fact, these clips are sometimes freed from bizarre artifacts and mangled arms.
