HR benefits explainer in English and Spanish: $0.80 on Sume

An HR team can produce a benefits open-enrollment explainer as two 90-second videos, one in English and one in Spanish, for $0.795 on Sume: six slide images at $0.0375, two voiceovers, and two timeline renders at $0.20 each because 90 seconds bills as two output minutes. Employer open-enrollment windows commonly sit in the fall, so a draft now leaves time for review.

The cost is nothing next to the review. Benefits information is advice-adjacent: wrong deadlines, wrong premiums or wrong plan names cause real harm. Have HR, your broker or counsel approve the script and the Spanish translation before anything is generated.

Cost breakdown

Slides: six images on Flux 2 Pro at $0.0375 each are $0.225. Use the images for scenes and icons, and add real dates, amounts and plan names as text in your own slide tool, so no figure depends on an image model's lettering. Voiceover: an English script of 1,500 characters is $0.07125 and bills as $0.08; a 1,700-character Spanish script is $0.08075 and bills as $0.09. Set the language on each request and use a voice that speaks it.

Render: set the audio duration to the real length of each voiceover. A 90-second video bills as 2 minutes, $0.20; trimming it to 60 seconds drops the render to $0.10. The standalone caption job covers videos up to 60 seconds only, so this plan leaves captions out; for a 90-second version, accessibility needs another route, such as publishing the script as a transcript next to the video.

Review checklist

Make a short list of what must be exactly right: the enrollment deadline, the effective date, who to contact, and any dollar figure. Check each against the plan documents after generation. Read the Spanish aloud with a native speaker, because a literal translation of insurance terms often differs from what the plan documents call them.

Say that the video is a summary and point to the official plan documents. Keep the script in version control, and regenerate only the language that changes: an English edit is $0.08 for the voiceover and $0.20 for the render, $0.28 in all.

Do not put employee photos, names or health information into a generated video.
