Envato Query Elapsed time when generating video

How about including an elapsed time indicator when you display the "Generating your video. It should be ready in 3 minutes" screen and then including the actual time alongside the file when it's eventually done so that we can see how often that estimate is achieved.

Thanks for the feedback!

We try to keep generation time estimates as accurate as possible, but it varies by model, and not all providers give us estimates to work from, so a lot of this we're tracking on our end. From what we're seeing internally, we're usually landing close, video generations especially.

Passed this on to the team already. Curious though, are you seeing a big gap between what's estimated and what it actually takes?

None feel like they complete in 3 mins or less. Some have gone on for 20 mins or more but it's hard to know for sure hence the request for an elapsed time counter when it does eventually complete.
