Google’s Veo 2 Brings Hyper-Realistic AI Video—For a Price

AI-generated video has come a long way, and Google’s new Veo 2 model is pushing the boundaries even further. Capable of creating ultra-realistic, high-resolution video clips, Veo 2 is a powerful new tool for content creators, marketers, and filmmakers.

But there’s a catch: it’s expensive.

At $0.50 per second, creating just one minute of video costs $30—a price point that suggests Google is targeting large corporations and ad agencies, not small creators or everyday businesses.

So what does this mean for the future of AI video? Let’s break it down.

How Veo 2’s Pricing Model Works

Google quietly updated its AI model pricing page, revealing that Veo 2 follows a simple but costly structure:

• $0.50 per second of video

• $30 per minute

• $1,800 per hour

At this rate, producing a two-hour feature-length AI-generated film would cost $3,600—but that’s assuming you nail the video on the first attempt.

The Hidden Costs of AI Video Production

Editing is an essential part of content creation, and revisions could skyrocket costs. If a company needs five drafts to get the perfect video, their budget must quintuple.

This means that a single 30-second AI ad could end up costing $750–$1,500, depending on how many adjustments are needed.

At this price, Veo 2 isn’t designed for YouTubers or small businesses, it’s a tool for high-budget marketing campaigns, not daily social media content.

The AI Video Industry Is Getting Crowded

Google isn’t the only player in the AI video space. Amazon, OpenAI, and Adobe have all launched competing AI video tools in the past year, offering a mix of free and paid options.

Some of the biggest competitors include:

• OpenAI’s Sora – A strong alternative, though still in limited access

• Amazon’s AI video tool – Launched in December 2024, competing for corporate clients

• Adobe’s AI-powered Premiere Pro – Built-in AI tools for video editing

For those who can’t afford Veo 2, there are still free AI video generators available, like Deepbrain AI, Hailuo AI, and Synthesia.

However, there’s a larger debate emerging: Is AI video really saving companies money, or is it just shifting costs from production to AI model usage?

Will AI Video Change the Future of Marketing?

There’s no doubt that AI-generated video is a game changer for digital marketing. Veo 2 is capable of producing breathtaking visuals, cinematic sequences, and hyper-detailed environments that were once only possible with expensive CGI.

But high costs and unpredictable results might push businesses toward traditional video production methods instead.

Ironically, some companies may find that puppets, hand-drawn animation, and stop-motion are now the cheaper and more unique alternatives to AI-generated content.

In an age where AI can generate perfectly polished marketing videos, standing out may require going against the grain.

Testimonial: How AI Certification Helped Close a $2.6M Deal

"We have two listings coming up this week, totaling about $2.6 million. The seller had been working with another agent for 18 months with no results. We introduced AI-powered marketing tools, highlighted our AI Certified Agent status, and within weeks, we secured the deal. Our AI-driven approach not only impressed the seller but also led to four additional property valuations last week and three more this week. Even my estate lawyer is now referring clients to us!" - Andrew Holenchuk
