QUICK ANSWER
AI video does not have one standard Dubai price. The cost depends on the brief, source assets, number of scenes and variants, generation attempts, editing, sound, brand accuracy, usage rights and revision process. Ask for a fixed scope with clear assumptions rather than a price per button click.
What a business is actually paying for
- A usable concept and script.
- Reference collection and brand constraints.
- Image, motion or presenter generation where appropriate.
- Multiple attempts and selection.
- Editing, timing, compositing, captions and sound.
- Corrections for faces, products, labels and logos.
- Human review, exports and agreed revisions.
Generation credits are only one cost
The software charge may be visible, but unusable attempts still consume time and credits. Strong production reduces waste by testing the hardest shot early, locking references and defining what must remain exact.
What changes the quote most
- Duration and number of distinct shots.
- Photorealistic people or product accuracy.
- Original filming, supplied assets or fully generated visuals.
- Languages, voice, music and captions.
- Aspect-ratio versions and advert hooks.
- Approval layers and revision limits.
- Commercial usage, model releases and licensed material.
A short video can still be complex
A 15-second product advert may need several controlled shots, correct packaging, compositing and three platform crops. Duration is not a reliable substitute for production scope.
How to compare AI video quotations
Practical checklist
- Is the concept or script included?
- Who supplies product, logo and brand references?
- How many scenes and finished variants are included?
- Are voice, music, captions and editing included?
- What level of product or person consistency is expected?
- How many revision rounds are included?
- Which formats and aspect ratios will be delivered?
- Who confirms permissions and usage rights?
- What happens when a generated shot cannot be repaired economically?
When conventional production may be better
Use real filming when the exact person, product demonstration, location or customer evidence must be truthful and repeatable. AI can support concepts, environments and controlled creative variations, but it should not fabricate proof.
Frequently asked questions
Is AI video cheaper than filming?
Sometimes, for the right concept. It can become expensive when exact products, people or long sequences need many attempts and corrections. Compare the final deliverable, not only the capture method.
Can one AI video be used for every platform?
A master can support several versions, but framing, safe areas, pacing and hooks often need deliberate adaptation.
Can AI guarantee my logo and label are exact?
Generation alone may not. A professional workflow may use controlled source material, compositing and final editing to protect critical brand details.
