What stays the same

The output keeps the source motion, camera, cuts and sound. You are changing who is in the shot, not how it moves. Recast is selected only explicitly: sume/auto never routes to it.

Price

The list rate is $0.30 per second at 768p and $0.45 at 1080p (fal 2026-10-01). Times 1.25 that is $0.375 and $0.5625 per second. A 10 s source at 768p is 10 x $0.375 = $3.75, and at 1080p 10 x $0.5625 = $5.625 before cent rounding. A 30 s source at 768p is $11.25.
