Pricing

ResolutionAudioCost per 5 seconds
720pOff$0.125
720pOn$0.25
1080pOff$0.1875
1080pOn$0.375

Billing Rules

  • Base rate: $0.125 per 5 seconds (720p, no audio)
  • 1080p multiplier: 1.5×
  • Audio multiplier:
  • Total cost = base_price × (duration / 5) × resolution_multiplier × audio_multiplier

Examples

  • 5s @ 720p, no audio → $0.125
  • 10s @ 720p, with audio → $0.125 × 2 × 2 = $0.50
  • 15s @ 1080p, with audio → $0.125 × 3 × 1.5 × 2 = $1.125

Best Use Cases

  • Social Media Content — Create engaging short videos from photos.
  • Product Animation — Bring product images to life with motion.
  • Creative Projects — Transform artwork and illustrations into animated videos.
  • Marketing — Generate dynamic content from static promotional images.
  • Storytelling — Create video sequences from key story moments.

Pro Tips

  • Use clear, high-quality source images for best results.
  • Be specific about motion direction and speed in your prompt.
  • Use negative prompts to avoid unwanted movements or artifacts.
  • Single shot mode is better for smooth, continuous motion.
  • Multi shot mode works well for dynamic, action-packed content.
  • Disable audio if you plan to add your own soundtrack later.

Notes

  • Maximum video duration is 15 seconds.
  • Custom audio will be synced to the generated video.
  • 1080p resolution costs 1.5× more than 720p.
  • Audio generation doubles the cost.
