HOA community notice: a 30-second avatar video for residents, priced

A building or HOA notice often says the same few things: what is happening, when, and who to contact. At Sume's listed no-product rates, 30 seconds costs about $5.52 on Standard, $7.35 on Plus and $16.50 on Max. One avatar can present every notice, so residents see a familiar face.

The script and the call

Write about 30 seconds: the change, the date and time, how it affects residents, and a contact. Move any long legal wording to a linked page.

Submit POST /v1/avatar-1.0/talking-video with the building's avatar_handle, the script, and an Idempotency-Key per notice. If you want the lobby in the background, use scene of type photo with a public HTTPS image URL of the space.

What it costs

At 30 seconds: Sume reserves on its planned billable seconds, which can differ a little from the length of your script, so these are estimates.

Look before you render

Burn in captions with the inline captions block, since many residents will watch muted. Inline captions are burned after generation from your spoken script and do not add a separate caption job to the bill.

Label it

Tell viewers the presenter is AI-generated. Sume's disclosure record post lists the job fields worth saving per clip, and authored caption cues can burn a disclosure line into the video.
