In some cases, you can render fewer keyframes in 2nd step. To render the rest of the frames without re-rendering the already existing ones, clone the job from the Chaos Cloud Portal and use the Remaining filter below the animation Frame Range field in the Clone Job interface. Let say that the approximate credits per frame are 0.5, so for the whole frame-range Chaos Cloud will need 0.5x1500=750 credits. Multiplying the approximate credits per frame to the number of frames for the whole animation will give approximate credits consumption for the entire animation job.

It will not give the exact amount of credits needed to complete the job. Please note the guide will give information on the estimated credits consumption, This guide provides information on estimating how many credits Chaos Cloud needs to render a specific animation project. On our Chaos Cloud scenes page, you can find resolutions, render times, and cloud credit costs that you can use for reference.

Then expand that cost by what your final job will take in terms of final resolution, frames, etc. Your trial credits can be used to render a test image and estimate how many credits it consumed.
