Estimate before you render.
Upload a clip to fill the calculator with exact metadata, or move the sliders to estimate manually. No credits are deducted from this page.
Render estimate
Same rule as the backend job charge
Smooth. Standard smoothness boost. You pay your clip’s duration, no markup.
Browser and API use the same balance. Paid credits render clean by default; free signup credits are watermarked.
Can I estimate frame interpolation cost before rendering?
Yes. ReframeFX estimates charged seconds before a render using clip duration, input FPS, target FPS, and interpolation factor.
Does the upload estimator spend credits?
No. Uploading and probing a clip for an estimate does not create a render job or deduct seconds.
Can I render the same uploaded clip after estimating?
Yes. The estimate upload stages a private project file so you can continue to the studio and render it.
