AI UGC production stats

Updated October 21, 2026. Real numbers from MRKT DEPT’s own video pipeline, refreshed monthly: how many AI UGC videos were rendered, how often a render succeeds, how long the videos are, what the GPU rendering costs per video, and what happened after posting.

The short answer (September 2026): 102 of 234 render attempts succeeded (43.6%), the average video ran 25.2 seconds, a render took 11.5 minutes on average, GPU rendering cost about $1.28 per video, and 66 posts were published.

Bars: render attempts (light) and successful renders (green) per month; labels show the success rate.

Month	Render attempts	Succeeded	Success rate	Avg length	Avg render time	GPU cost / video	Posts published	Median views
October 2026 (so far)	84	74	88.1%	26.4s	10.4 min	$0.34	59	90
September 2026	234	102	43.6%	25.2s	11.5 min	$1.28	66	120.5

Methodology

Source: MRKT DEPT’s production database. Each month is a separate snapshot taken on the 1st; the current month is partial until then.
Included: customer accounts and MRKT DEPT’s own TikTok account (which posts the same way customers do). Excluded: test accounts. Render attempts include retries.
Video length: videos that passed the automated quality check (audio and frame checks) that month. The check was introduced in late September 2026, so September’s length covers only the videos made after it; September’s render numbers also include the pipeline before its late-September fixes.
GPU cost per video: the month’s GPU rendering bill divided by all successful renders that month. It does not include script, voice or image API costs.
Posting results: posts published that month; median views only for posts whose metrics had been synced from the platform.
