Remotion electricity on a Mac is cents. Time is the real cost.
Absolute package energy for LongKinetic20m was about 5.403 Wh on M2 Max (~$0.001 at $0.1883/kWh). HeavyMotion was ~0.287 Wh. Household electricity does not set future commercial pricing, and it is not reimbursed during the unpaid beta.

M2 Max SoC package samples (ABS, not idle-subtracted). Canonical: power bakeoff.
ABS means absolute package energy (idle sample count was 0 on the long suite). Not wall-outlet truth. Method notes on the power page.
