Compare · pool vs tiny container
Remotion Mac pool vs a tiny cloud container.
A RenderMac-style Mac pool targets the wall-clock profile we measured on M1/M2. A tiny container shape matches the CF standard-1 pain we measured. Choose based on whether your product dies on 36-minute waits for 3-minute videos.
| Job | Output | M2 Max | M1 Silver1 | M1 Silver2 | CF live |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LongKinetic3m | 3:00 (5400 f) | 111.5 s | 133.7 s | 145.6 s | 2175.3 s |
| LongKinetic20m | 20:00 (36000 f) | 679.5 s | - | - | 14502 s PROJECTED |
LongKinetic20m CF column is PROJECTED (×20/3 from measured 3-minute CF live). Method: benchmark methodology.

CF $ uses published Workers Paid memory/CPU rate-card math (~$0.00002/wall-s upper bound for standard-1). Not an invoice. Not a RenderMac public rate card.
