How long does AI video generation take?

Quick answer

Typically a few minutes per clip, though it varies by model, clip length, and resolution. A short 5–10 second generation on a fast model can finish in roughly one to three minutes, while premium models producing longer, higher-resolution clips with audio can take noticeably longer. Queue load on the provider’s servers also affects wait times, so the same job is not always equally fast.

Generation time scales with how much the model has to compute: more seconds of footage, more pixels per frame, and audio synthesis all add time. That is why drafts on a faster model and finals on a premium one is a common workflow.

Unlike rendering in a video editor, you are not occupying your own machine — generation runs in the cloud, so you can queue a clip and keep working.

In VdoBloom, generations across VEO 3.1, Runway, Kling, Wan, Seedance, and PixVerse run server-side and appear in your creation history when complete.
