Tools and Calculators for Video Production

Free video production planning tools and calculators built from real project experience to remove friction before filming begins. Use these calculators and utilities to estimate script length, pacing, pricing considerations, and production variables — hands-on resources that help video teams make clearer, more informed decisions faster.

  • Script Timer preview

    Script Timer Tool

    This script timer helps you turn a rough draft into a realistic runtime estimate. Paste in your script or add a word count, adjust speaking speed, and account for intros, outros, and transitions. It’s designed to help you plan pacing, production scope, and budget before recording or animation begins, reducing rewrites and wasted time later.

  • Explainer animation budget calculator showing the three production level cards and the project questions

    Explainer Animation Budget Calculator

    Answer seven quick questions about your explainer, brand or product piece and get a suggested style, a production tier and a per-minute estimate, built on how we have priced real animation work. Then send it to us for a quote.

  • Training video cost calculator with three complexity tiers, minute sliders and the estimated total

    Training Video Cost Calculator

    Estimate a training or eLearning program in minutes. Set the finished minutes in each complexity tier and see the total at our real per-minute rates, from $360 to $3,000 a minute.

  • Three printable storyboard templates fanned out: blank twelve-panel, six-panel with action and voiceover lines, and the animation layout with a timing ruler

    Eleven free storyboard templates you can print or type into. Six-panel, twelve-panel blank, AV two-column, animation, film and 9:16 vertical layouts, in PDF (Letter and A4) and Word. No sign-up, and free to use commercially.
