Seven measured ways AI video generation wastes credits — and what to do instead.

This is a free extract from the AI Video Prompt Craft pack. Every number in it was measured on a live account, not estimated.

What is inside

You are rendering static shots on the expensive model — the measured three-tier price table, and why tier 2 is already double• You are passing a resolution parameter that gets thrown away — and the 3.75-credit fix people miss for weeks• Your negative prompt is summoning the thing you forbade — with a one-line test for when negation works• Your shot is "successful" and unusable• Your subject walks the wrong way — the phrasing that fails, and the one that does not• Your clothes, face and background change between shots• You are judging from a still frame

Plus one more, free: output runs exactly one frame longer than you ordered, on both model families.

No email wall, no upsell inside the text. Read it, use it, and decide for yourself whether the full pack is worth it.
