Limits and Performance
- Output resolution: 480p
- Duration options: 5 seconds or 10 seconds
- Processing speed: ~20–60 seconds wall time per clip (varies by prompt complexity and queue load)
Pricing
| Duration | Cost per job |
|---|
| 5 seconds | $0.15 |
| 10 seconds | $0.30 |
Billing Rules
- Minimum charge: 5 seconds
- Per-second rate = (price per 5 seconds) ÷ 5
- Billed duration = video length in seconds (rounded up), with a 5-second minimum
- Total cost = billed duration × per-second rate (by output resolution)
How to Use
- Write a prompt describing the scene, subject, and motion.

- Choose duration (5s or 10s).
- (Optional) Enable camera_fixed for a locked viewpoint.
- (Optional) Set a seed for reproducibility.
- Submit the job and download your generated video.
Pro tips for best quality
- Use detailed prompts with cinematic language (lighting, angles, dynamics).
- Pick aspect ratio according to publishing platform (9:16 for TikTok/shorts, 16:9 for YouTube).
- Start with 5s runs for fast iteration; expand to 10s for final sequences.
- Use camera_fixed for product showcases, interviews, or static shots.
- Keep seeds fixed if you need consistent multi-shot content.
Use Cases
- Creative video content generation
