Question 1

How does the AI Video ROI Calculator work?

Accepted Answer

You enter three things — your current cost per finished video, your quarterly volume, and where the videos run — and the calculator estimates the savings and added throughput you'd gain versus traditional production. It's a directional planning model built to size the opportunity, not a binding quote. Once the number looks compelling, the tier ranges behind it live on the pricing page.

Question 2

What inputs do I need for an accurate estimate?

Accepted Answer

Three core inputs: your current cost per finished video, how many you produce each quarter, and the channels they run on. Adding your format mix — brand commercial versus Amazon listing video — sharpens the result further. If you don't have those numbers to hand, the project planner walks you through gathering them before you run the calculator.

Question 3

How does AI production actually lower my cost?

Accepted Answer

The Midjourney, Veo, Kling, and Seedance pipeline collapses pre-production and production from weeks into days, so the same Creative Director and the same brand bar simply cost less to deliver. The result typically lands 40–60% below traditional production, for comparable craft — you're removing waste, not lowering the ceiling. See the breakdown on how much an AI commercial costs and the tiers on the pricing page.

Question 4

Is the ROI estimate the same as a price quote?

Accepted Answer

No — treat it as a planning estimate, not a quote. A real figure comes after a 30-minute discovery call and proper scoping, delivered within 48 hours. Use the calculator's number to build your internal business case and win budget approval, then talk to us to turn it into a scoped proposal. Start that on the Get Started page; tier context is on the pricing page.

Question 5

How accurate are the savings figures?

Accepted Answer

They're grounded in typical ArcaneWiz engagements and expressed as ranges, never as guarantees. Your real number depends on your format mix and how many revision rounds a project runs, so we publish honest bands rather than a flattering single figure you'd never quite hit. See the kind of work those bands come from in the case-study hub.

Question 6

What's a realistic cost per video with ArcaneWiz?

Accepted Answer

It depends on format. An Amazon listing video runs roughly $250–$900 per SKU, versus $1,500–$8,000 for comparable traditional production; brand commercials are ranged and scoped individually rather than sold at a flat rate. Rather than invent a single number, we point you to the full tiers on the pricing page so your estimate reflects your actual format.

Question 7

Does faster turnaround factor into the ROI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's often underrated. Shipping a campaign weeks sooner means your spend starts converting earlier and you capture market windows competitors miss — real value, not just a nicety. We frame this as premium-and-fast: full cinematic craft delivered at speed, never a discount for cutting corners. See what that throughput looks like in the case-study hub.

Question 8

How many videos do I need before the ROI turns positive?

Accepted Answer

Usually just a handful per quarter — the calculator shows you the exact crossover point for your inputs. Economics improve further once you're producing three or more deliverables a quarter, where retainer structures kick in. The retainer tiers that sharpen the return are laid out on the pricing page, and we'll model your specific volume on a call.

Question 9

Can the calculator handle a multi-format mix (commercial + Amazon)?

Accepted Answer

Yes — model each format separately and sum the results, since a brand commercial and an Amazon listing video have very different cost structures. For enterprise sellers, bundling photos, listing video, and a product commercial together beats pricing each piece piecemeal. Explore the format that most often anchors those bundles on the Amazon listing video page.

Question 10

What do I do with my ROI result once I have it?

Accepted Answer

Bring it into a discovery call. We pressure-test the assumptions behind your estimate, adjust for your real format mix and volume, and turn the number into a scoped proposal you can put in front of finance. The calculator starts the conversation; it doesn't replace it. Take the next step on the Get Started page whenever your number looks worth acting on.

Question 11

How does on-demand production compare to building an in-house video team?

Accepted Answer

It's a fixed-versus-variable cost trade. An in-house team means salaries, tooling, and idle capacity between campaigns whether or not you're shipping; on-demand production converts that standing overhead into a per-project cost you only pay when you produce. The calculator makes the comparison concrete for your volume. Weigh it against our tiers on the pricing page and the proof in the case-study hub.

Question 12

What's the next step after I calculate my ROI?

Accepted Answer

Submit the Get Started form. You'll get a same-business-day reply, a 30-minute discovery call, and a scoped proposal within 48 hours — and the Creative Director runs that call personally, not a sales rep. Your ROI estimate becomes the starting agenda, so the conversation moves straight to your numbers and your brief rather than a generic pitch.
