The short answer

An AI video production company in Dubai takes a brief and delivers a finished film: concept, script, generated imagery, edit, sound, grade and the file formats each platform needs. The difference from using AI tools yourself is that the finishing, the versions and the accountability are included. At Steer Media, AI ad films start from AED 10,000 for a film up to one minute.

10000AI ad film, fromFor a film up to one minute.
35000Live-action corporate film, fromMost corporate videos in Dubai.
100000Live-action TV commercial, fromApprovals, locations, talent and crew.

This guide follows a project from the first message to the final files, so you know what you will be asked for, what you will see and what you will own.

01

What do you receive from an AI video production company?

We confirm the list of deliverables with you before work starts. A typical list looks like this.

Master filmThe finished edit at full qualityWeb, presentations, broadcast on request
CutdownsShorter versions, planned at script stagePaid social and pre-roll
Format versions9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 compositionsStories and reels, the feed, the web
Language versionsSubtitles and voice in English and Arabic where neededCampaigns across the GCC

How does an AI video production project run?

  1. 1
    Brief.You tell us the product, the audience, the length and the deadline, and we reply within one working day
  2. 2
    Quote.We price against the written brief, so the length, versions and revision rounds are agreed up front
  3. 3
    Treatment and boards.The idea and the look are put on paper before any images are generated
  4. 4
    Test frames.You see the look and the character on a few frames before the full film is made
  5. 5
    Generation and selection.Shots are produced in volume and a director chooses and refines them
  6. 6
    Edit, sound and versions.The cut, the voice, the music and the sound design are built, then the format and language versions are made
  7. 7
    Review and delivery.You review in agreed rounds, and we hand over the master and cutdowns

How long it takes depends on length and complexity, and we confirm the timeline in the quote. AI shortens the path to a finished frame for the right brief, and the edit, sound and approvals still take their own time.

Should you choose AI, live action or a hybrid?

Choose by what the brief needs on screen, not by what is newest. These are our starting prices, so you can see how the choice moves the budget.

ApproachStarting price at Steer MediaBest for
AI ad filmFrom AED 10,000 for a film up to one minuteStylised worlds, product visualisation and concept films
Live-action corporate filmFrom AED 35,000People, places and real performance
Live-action TV commercialFrom AED 100,000Spots that need approvals, locations and talent
HybridQuoted per briefA real shoot with generated shots where a camera cannot go

What can go wrong, and how do you avoid it?

  • 01Character drift.A person looks different from shot to shot. We design the character first and select shots against it
  • 02Wrong packs and labels.Generated packaging is approximate, so we use real packshots where the label must be exact
  • 03A generic look.Unless someone directs it, generated imagery averages out. Direction and grade are where a brand look comes from
  • 04Arabic that does not match the picture.Script, voice and subtitles are checked together, not in separate rounds
  • 05Tool churn.A model that is current this quarter may be retired next, so we do not tie a film to one tool
  • 06Unclear ownership.Rights to the final files are agreed in writing before work starts
