Common Failure Points
- Assuming Google direct pricing is cheaper — API access often requires Google Cloud setup and billing minimums
- Not accounting for failed generations that still consume credits on some platforms
- Choosing longer durations before testing shorter clips for quality validation
- Overlooking that resolution (720p vs 1080p) affects both cost and quality
