Do AI filmmaking courses cost money?
About half do. Of the 27, 13 are paid, from Curious Refuge and UCLA Extension to NYFA's degree and Creative Hut's diploma; seven can be joined at no charge, among them Runway Academy, Coursera courses and Alison; three sit on open pages. The register records no prices. As of 2026-09-25.

Inclusion rule. A provider is listed when its own pages state what the question asks. Order. Providers in alphabetical order.
Paid courses on the register are the schools and course makers; the no-charge and open material comes mostly from tool makers and course platforms.
Prices change by intake, country and plan, which is why none is recorded here; each provider's own page has the current figure.
Four pages do not say how access is paid for.
