30-second vertical Short at 1080p: $5.625 to $42.65 by Sume model
Omni Flash 1.1 makes 30 s of 1080p 9:16 for $5.625 in three jobs, H3 Max $6.00, Wan 3.0 $7.50 in one job and Seedance 2.5 $42.65. Joins add $0.10.
Thirty seconds of 9:16 video at 1080p costs $5.625 on Gemini Omni Flash 1.1, $6.00 on MiniMax H3 Max, $7.50 on Wan 3.0 and $42.65 on Seedance 2.5 (Sume price tool, read 2026-10-09). Wan and Seedance do it in one job; H3 Max needs two and Omni three, each adding a $0.10 Timeline minute.
1080p is the top resolution YouTube accepts for Shorts (read 2026-10-09), so these are the highest-tier thirty seconds that make sense to buy.
Four ways to 30 seconds
A single job has no join cost and no seam. Splitting trades that for a lower per-second rate.
| Model | Jobs | Rate per second | Generation | With Timeline join |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-omni-flash-1.1 | 3 x 10 s | $0.1875 | $5.625 | $5.725 |
| minimax-h3-max | 2 x 15 s | $0.20 | $6.00 | $6.10 |
| wan-3.0 | 1 x 30 s | $0.25 | $7.50 | $7.50 |
| seedance-2.5 | 1 x 30 s | $1.42155 | $42.65 | $42.65 |
One job, one request
The one-job models need no Timeline at all: the finished clip is already the Short.

- The Omni plan is cheapest by $1.875 against Wan, but it has two visible seams.
- H3 Max's 1080p is a latent refinement from native 768p; Wan 3.0 lists 1080p directly.
- Seedance 2.5 is 5.7 times the Wan 3.0 price at this tier.
- At 720p Wan 3.0 is $3.75 for the same 30 s; the 1080p premium is exactly double.
