AI video longer than 30 seconds on Sume: how many jobs, and the cost
No Sume video model makes more than 30 seconds in one job. How longer videos split into jobs on Wan 3.0 or Seedance 2.5, and what the set costs, by length.
No video model on Sume makes more than 30 seconds in one job: Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 stop there. A longer video is several jobs, priced as the sum of their seconds, and a long-form cut stitched with the Timeline tool adds a small per-minute render charge.
Worked example: 150-second AI video: five 30-second jobs priced on Sume
A 150-second AI video cannot be one job on Sume: Wan 3.0 and Seedance 2.5 stop at 30 seconds per job, so it is 5 jobs (30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 seconds). On Wan 3.0 the total is $9.38 at 480p, $18.75 at 720p and $37.50 at 1080p. On Seedance 2.5 it is $40.30, $86.67 and $213.23.
Joining the clips with the Timeline tool adds $0.30, because Timeline bills $0.10 per output minute rounded up, per its docs. Rates are in the Video Router docs and API rate card.
Total by resolution
Each job is billed at the model's per-second rate for its length; the table sums the jobs.
| Resolution | Wan 3.0 total | Seedance 2.5 total |
|---|---|---|
| 480p | $9.38 | $40.30 |
| 720p | $18.75 | $86.67 |
| 1080p | $37.50 | $213.23 |
What is not in the total
Cut points between jobs are visible unless you plan the shots around them. Retakes bill again at the same rate, and each job takes a concurrency slot (4 on Pro, 8 on Startup, 20 on Scale).
