Video workflow tip: use medium effort for storyboards and stills, not max
After running at max effort for twelve hours on $2,175 of tokens, the author found medium effort works better for storyboards and stills, reserving max only for the final render.

$2,175 of tokens ran at max effort for twelve straight hours. The guide says to reserve max for measured gains only. Medium effort on the storyboard and stills beats running everything at max, matching Opus 5's best benchmark score for a fraction of the spend I replaced max effort as the default with medium for every scene except the final render pass Save this so you do not burn through all your tokens in minutes
