PITFALL
A credit balance is not the same as an unrestricted production allowance. Confirm that the account and selected product meet the current requirements before promising delivery.

This worksheet is a planning aid, not a rendered example or automated verification.

EXAMPLE BRIEF — ADAPT BEFORE USE
Prepare a Kleo estimate for one 30-second animatic and one 30-second film. List the two jobs separately, confirm current prices, and distinguish my total balance from credits eligible for film. Show an optional second film render as unapproved, with its own cost. Tell me which assumptions need confirmation. Do not buy credits or start any render.

REFERENCE NOTES
CALCULATE EACH RENDER BEFORE CHOOSING A PACK

At the current tariff, a film costs one credit per 1.5 seconds, rounded up, with a minimum of 10 credits. In a spreadsheet, that is MAX(10, ROUNDUP(duration_seconds / 1.5, 0)). An animatic costs 5 credits up to 20 seconds and 10 credits up to 60. These calculations price a job; they do not buy credits or confirm account eligibility.

Use the intended duration, not an earlier rough idea. Keep an optional new version on a separate budget line so discussing it cannot be confused with approving it.

Worked production budgets at the published credit tariff

Planned jobs: One 30-second animatic
Calculation: Over 20 seconds, up to 60
Total production credits: 10

Planned jobs: One 15-second film
Calculation: 15 / 1.5; the minimum is 10
Total production credits: 10

Planned jobs: One 30-second film
Calculation: 30 / 1.5
Total production credits: 20

Planned jobs: One 60-second film
Calculation: 60 / 1.5
Total production credits: 40

Planned jobs: One animatic, then one 30-second film
Calculation: 10 + 20; two separately approved jobs
Total production credits: 30

Planned jobs: One 30-second film, plus an optional new 30-second render
Calculation: 20 approved + 20 only if separately approved
Total production credits: 20 now; 40 if both are rendered

KEEP TOTAL BALANCE AND FILM ELIGIBILITY SEPARATE

The €5 pack adds 10 purchased credits, €15 adds 35 and €40 adds 100. A €5 pack therefore provides the purchased credits for a 15-second film. A 20-second film costs 14 credits; do not treat an unused starter balance as a guarantee that the difference can be spent on film.

The public Terms restrict how credits that were given rather than bought may be used. Before checkout, ask Kleo to confirm the usable film balance as well as whether the account has bought a pack. If the account’s answer and the Terms disagree, ask support to clarify before committing to the order.

The same €5 pack produces different total balances

Starting situation: All 5 starter credits remain
Total after the pack: 5 starter + 10 purchased = 15
What the total does not establish: It does not prove that all 15 are eligible for a film.

Starting situation: One 5-credit starter animatic has been used
Total after the pack: 0 starter + 10 purchased = 10
What the total does not establish: Exactly a 15-second film; a 20-second film costs 14, exceeding this total.

Starting situation: No credits remain
Total after the pack: 0 + 10 purchased = 10
What the total does not establish: A new 15-second film uses the full purchased pack; another render needs its own budget.

APPROVE A SPECIFIC JOB, NOT AN OPEN-ENDED ALLOWANCE

Terms states a full credit refund when a render fails or is cancelled before the machine starts; part-way cancellation returns the unspent portion. A completed render that you want to change is a different situation. The budget above does not assume an unlimited revision allowance or cash refund.

Use the pricing calculator for the current per-render cost, and your account for the actual balance and checkout. This worksheet records a decision; it does not authorize a purchase or a render.

1. Record product, duration, look, language, aspect ratio and any requested options beside the quote. Make the treatment version identifiable before production starts.

2. Confirm the available balance and film eligibility, then approve only the named job and its exact cost. Keep any later render, editing expense or costs charged by your assistant outside that approval.

3. After the job, record its identifier, reported charge and result. If it fails or is cancelled, check the actual returned credits before replanning; do not spend an expected refund in advance.
