AI task estimates
Autessa Video Studio shows an estimate of the AI tasks each step will use before you start it. Brainstorming, scene planning, images, photo matching and AI voice use tasks; recording, uploading, rendering, re-rendering and restoring voice versions are free.
The problem
AI video tools are easy to overspend on
Credit meters that only show usage after the fact make people nervous to experiment. Video Studio shows a task estimate on every button that spends AI, and nothing spends without a click.
Where it happens
What you get
- An estimate in AI tasks appears before each step that uses AI.
- Estimates become exact once the scene plan exists.
- One generated image is one AI task.
- A full AI voiceover pass is one task plus voice minutes; a single-scene redo counts its minutes only.
- Free: recording, uploading, stock media, rendering, re-rendering, restoring voice versions and pacing analysis.
- Shown in tasks, never as money, inside the product.

Questions about ai task estimates
How much AI does one video use?
It depends on the steps you choose. Video Studio shows a task estimate before each one, and many steps are free.
Is rendering free?
Yes. Rendering and re-rendering are free.
Can I make a video without using AI tasks?
Largely, yes. Paste a script, use uploads or stock, record your own voice and render; only scene planning would use a task.
