A $100 balance buys 53 thirty-second Wan 3.0 clips at 480p, 26 at 720p and 13 at 1080p on Sume. The rate is flat per second, so the answer is the balance divided by one clip's price, rounded down to a whole clip: 480p is $1.875, 720p is $3.75 and 1080p is $7.50.

What is left over

Because clips are whole units, a balance rarely divides evenly. The remainder is enough for a shorter clip.

Using the remainder

At 1080p the $25 remainder after three clips is $2.50, which pays for 10 more seconds of 1080p video. Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds (Alibaba's page lists the same range, read 2026-10-08), so a short bumper fits where a full clip would not.

Reading the table

Pick the row for your balance and the column for the resolution you will actually deliver. If you draft at 480p first, divide by the combined price of a draft and a final instead; for a 480p draft plus a 1080p final the pair is $9.375, so $100 buys 10 such pairs.

Two cautions

  • A job in flight holds its price. If you submit many at once, your spendable balance falls by the sum of the holds before any of them finishes.
  • These counts assume every clip is kept. If you re-run one in three, divide the counts by 1.33, because a re-run is a full new job at full price.
