Guide
What actually changes a media job estimate.
RenderMac estimates are quote-shaped for a named service, pool, and region — not a public $/minute billboard. During the free buyer beta the fee ceiling is $0; use bakeoff dollars only as architecture contrast.
Inputs that move an estimate
- service_id — Remotion vs stitch vs transcode vs caption vs audio mix.
- pool / region — private_first_party and org_private availability differ from any future public pool.
- input shape — duration, resolution, stem count, subtitle complexity.
- beta waiver — current buyer fee ceiling is $0; that is not a forever price promise.
Do not confuse: Mac package electricity and Cloudflare Containers rate-card estimates are bakeoff contrast dollars. They are not RenderMac invoices. Interactive tool: cost calculator.
