What the calculator should count
Start with episode length, scene count, target shot duration and delivery formats. Add character and location exploration, storyboard frames, model comparisons, first passes, expected retries, voice, music, subtitles, enhancement and final exports. Keep a contingency for dialogue, hands, product geometry and complex motion.
- Scene and shot count
- Reference and storyboard generations
- Model tests and rejected scenes
- Voice, captions and final exports
Calculate cost per approved minute
A plan allowance is not the finished budget. Record credits for every attempt and divide total credits plus human finishing time by approved minutes. This exposes whether a low-cost generation route is actually efficient after continuity repairs and editorial review.
Use a small representative test
Before buying an annual plan, build one difficult scene with the intended character, model, aspect ratio and sound requirements. Compare the same short brief on Polox AI so you can separate MagicLight's story-workspace value from the quality of one lucky take.
Verify the official checkout
MagicLight plan names, promotions, included models, credit totals, watermarks, export limits, commercial rights, renewal and unused-credit rules can change. Check the official pricing page immediately before purchase; this independent guide intentionally avoids a stale price table.
