The label covers all of the direct costs involved in recording and promoting a band, including music videos. These days, though, artists often have to surrender the rights to music they create. The label makes all of the money from album sales and performances, and pays a portion back to the artist. So, it is really the artist who ends up paying for videos out of the profit that they make.
Big artists often pay more, to cover the small artists that don’t make it big. The record label covers their music videos as well, but the low profit return on the sales of the smaller artists means that the label needs to make up the difference by taking more profit from the big artists.
