A 60-second motion control video every day for 30 days costs $283.50 on Sume's Kling 3.0 route. One reference is capped at 30 seconds, so a day is two 30-second jobs at $4.725 each, $9.45 per day, joined on a timeline. That is 1,800 output seconds at $0.1575 per second, before the timeline join and any trim.

The figure is the ceiling for a month in which every job completes. A failed job is refunded.

The month in numbers

Add a reserve for reruns. A rerun of a 30-second half costs another $4.725, so five reruns in a month add $23.625.

What each day needs at the start

Because the two halves are separate generations, their join can drift in face or lighting. Check the join frame each day, or the month's budget can double on reruns.

  • A balance of at least $9.45, because both reservations are made at admit. A shortfall returns 402.
  • Two free slots in the accepted-jobs queue. Every plan has at least six (Free 6, Pro 24), so two jobs fit.
  • Two reference clips of 30 seconds or less, cut with POST /v1/video-trim at $0.02 per job if your source is longer.

A budget script

This script projects the spend for any number of days and any split of lengths, and refuses a reference over 30 seconds.

import math
from decimal import Decimal

RATE = Decimal('0.126') * Decimal('1.25')

def day_cost(parts):
    if any(p > 30 or p < 1 for p in parts):
        raise ValueError('each part must be 1 to 30 seconds')
    return sum(RATE * math.ceil(p) for p in parts)

per_day = day_cost([30, 30])
print(per_day)         # 9.4500
print(per_day * 30)    # 283.5000

Cheaper shapes to consider

If the story allows, a 45-second video is two jobs at $7.09 per day, or $212.63 over 30 days. If you need the full minute but not motion copying, other video models are priced per second differently, so check the live catalog with GET /v1/video-router/models before you commit. For the join itself, read two 30-second jobs and a timeline join.
