Scaling Video Production for Large eCommerce Catalogs
Adding video to 10 products is easy. Scaling to 500 or 5,000 is where traditional video production breaks down.
Manual Video Production: The Math
| Cost Per Video | Time Per Video | 500 Products Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance videographer | $200–500 | 2–4 hours | $100K–250K / 6–12 months |
| Agency production | $500–2,000 | 1–2 days | $250K–$1M / 1–2 years |
| In-house team | $50–150 | 1–3 hours | $25K–75K / 2–6 months |
| CatalogMotion AI | $0.40–$1.20 | 2–3 min | $200–600 / <24 hours |
The Workflow for Large Catalogs

- Select your full catalog or a product segment
- Create a batch job — CatalogMotion AI processes up to 400 videos per batch
