 ## What it costs
 
 - **Picking:** one text-model call picks the moments, then one call per short writes its image prompts.
-- **Images:** each short gets one image per **Seconds per image** of its length (at least one), and each image is one image-model call on your image provider. Before the clips are picked, the estimate charges the most the step could ask for: every short at the longest length you allowed.
-- **Rendering:** done on your computer at no provider cost.
+- **Images:** each short gets one image per **Seconds per image** of its length (at least one), and each image is one image call to your image service. Before the clips are picked, the estimate charges the most the step could ask for: every short at the longest length you allowed.
+- **Putting them together:** done on your computer at no cost.
 - **Reviews:** with Automatic reviews on, each short can be reviewed like other outputs. Picture reviews need Claude Code or Codex as the reviewer.
 
-With the establishing image on, the shorts' images are drawn with it as a reference too, so characters and style stay the same. See [Play-Images](Play-Images).

 - Keep **Length** close to the default 60 to 120 seconds; very short clips often lose the setup that makes a moment work.
-- After you upload the long video, paste its link in **Full video link** (Edit project → **Shorts**) and save. Copy and Prepare upload read the link when you use them, so the description line picks it up.
