How many seconds of AI video does $1 buy on Sume?
One dollar buys 16 seconds of Wan 3.0 at 480p, 8 at 720p and none of Seedance 2.5 at 1080p on Sume. Table by model; duration minimums apply.
A dollar buys 16 seconds of Wan 3.0 at 480p, 8 at 720p, none of Seedance 2.5: its 4-second minimum costs $2.32 at 720p and $5.69 at 1080p. Most models have a minimum clip, so a row whose minimum is above the figure cannot be bought for $1 at all.
Table
Seconds are the longest whole-second clip, within the model's maximum, whose job price (list x 1.25, rounded up to the cent) is at most $1.00. "Min" is the shortest duration in the Video Router table.
