I was told I’m too expensive after doing a demo for a client

Recently I’ve applied as a video editor to one marketing company.

They asked me to deliver them a demo edit (40 seconds). This took me almost 4 hours, cause of After Effects animations and stuff… After that they asked for my pricing. I offered them almost twice more than usual since they’re quite a big company and I was hoping for some negotiations.

After all they just said “thank you for your time, but we can’t afford that. Have a good day.”

That’s all. No negotiations on the price, no counteroffers. Just “Thank you, bye”.

I feel like I just wasted my time on that. Any advice for these situations in the future?
