Lip sync an 11-second mascot line: H3 Max 480p, 768p, 1080p vs Fabric

Lip syncing an 11-second mascot line on Sume costs $0.6875 on MiniMax H3 Max at 480p, $1.10 at 768p and $2.20 at 1080p, and $2.0625 on VEED Fabric 1.0 at 720p. H3 Max is billed per audio second rounded up, so 11 seconds is exactly 11 billed seconds.

Side-by-side numbers

Both models are priced on audio seconds. H3 Max Lip Sync accepts audio from 5 to 14.8 seconds, which covers an 11-second line. Fabric accepts up to 300 seconds.

Reading the table

At the same price per second, Fabric 480p and H3 Max 768p both cost $1.10 for this line. The difference is the resolution you get for that money, and the input the model accepts. Fabric takes an image or an avatar handle together with audio, while the H3 Max route has the 5 to 14.8 second audio window. If your line is 4 seconds long, H3 Max will not accept it, and Fabric will.

Full 1080p on H3 Max is $2.20, which is $0.1375 more than Fabric 720p. Whether that is worth it depends on where the clip will run. A vertical social clip is usually watched at phone size, where 768p is often enough.

Rounding and limits

Check the length of your audio first, as that sets both the price and which model is allowed.

• H3 Max rounds the audio length up to whole seconds, so 11.2 seconds bills as 12.
• A line over 14.8 seconds does not fit H3 Max and should be split or sent to Fabric.
• Fabric audio must be Sume-hosted and under 10 MB.
• Reservation is in exact USD micros, rounded up to cents at submit, and refunded on failure.

Where to read more

The live prices are in the public Sume catalog, and the model families are listed in the model docs. Neither page needs an API key to read.

Picking for a mascot

A mascot is usually a stylised image, so very high resolution adds less than it does for a real face. Start at H3 Max 480p for $0.6875 and check the mouth shapes. If the clip will be shown large, step up to 768p for $1.10. A full set of three test renders of this one line, one at each H3 Max resolution, is $3.9875 in total.

Remember that every test is a real billed job, captured when it completes. Keep the audio fixed across tests so you compare like with like.
