The Shot Ledger
Every shot rendered, costed and shown — so you know which model to send a shot to before you spend anything.
The problem this solves
There are 22 video models worth using and 55 priced quality tiers between them. Choosing wrong is not a small mistake: you find out only after you have paid for the render, and the model that handles your shot badly will keep handling it badly however you reword the prompt.
So the work becomes guess, render, discard, repeat. Every discarded attempt is billed in full. That is the actual cost of AI video, and it is the part no pricing page mentions.
This is the reference that removes the guessing from the first step: which model to send a given shot to, and what it will really cost when you get there.
What makes it different
Every shot in this file was rendered on the model and settings named beside it. Nothing is described from a model card.
Most packs in this category are text someone typed. The shots were never rendered, the models named were often never run, and the volume is the selling point — several hundred prompts, most of them the same handful reworded.
This is the opposite trade. It is a small set, and every entry carries the frame it actually produced, on the model and settings named beside it. You can see what you are buying before you spend a credit reproducing it.
What you get
- The rendered frame for every shot, with the model, tier and settings that produced it
- The exact prompt text, as a plain .txt file per shot
- Real credit cost and provider cost per shot, from the same table our billing runs on
- A routing sheet: which models can deliver each shot type, ordered by cost
Costs are computed from the same table our billing runs on, last verified against providers' own pricing pages on 2026-09-26. You can check the underlying figures yourself on the free Render Ledger.
Who it is for
Working creatives and small studios who bill for AI video and need the first render to land more often.
Who it is not for
- Anyone looking for a large prompt library — this is a small, verified set, not a bulk pack
- Models we have not run ourselves; the sheet says so rather than guessing
