Pinterest video pin minimum length: 4 seconds, and which models fit
Pinterest's product specs set a 4-second minimum for video pins. seedance-2.5 starts at 4 seconds in Sume; wan-3.0 and Gemini Omni Flash can go shorter.

The minimum length for a Pinterest video pin is 4 seconds, with a maximum of 15 minutes, according to Pinterest's product specs. In Sume, seedance-2.5 accepts 4 to 30 seconds, so even its shortest clip meets that floor. Shorter-capable models need care.
Pinterest also recommends 6 to 15 seconds for video ads and, for organic and paid pins, square or vertical (2:3, 4:5 or 9:16). Pinterest facts are from its product specs page and Sume facts from the video generation docs, both read 2026-10-01.
Which Sume video models can fall under 4 seconds?
| Model | Duration range | Meets a 4 s floor? |
|---|---|---|
seedance-2.5 | 4 to 30 s | Always |
wan-3.0 | 2 to 30 s | Only if you ask for 4 s or more |
minimax-h3 | 5 to 15 s | Always |
gemini-omni-flash-1.1 | 3 to 10 s | Only if you ask for 4 s or more |
| Other catalog models | Top out at 15 s | Check each row's supported_durations |
What does the 4-second floor mean for my request?
Treat it as a lower bound you set yourself. A model that accepts 2 or 3 seconds will happily make a clip Pinterest rejects, so pin duration to 4 or more. Read supported_durations on the catalog row first.
How do I get a vertical pin video?
Request a vertical aspect_ratio such as 9:16 on the generation call. If you assemble several clips in Timeline 1.0, the default output is 1080x1920 MP4, which is vertical. Transitions apply only to slots after the first, so a two-clip pin gets one transition between the clips.
How long should the pin be?
For ads, Pinterest recommends 6 to 15 seconds, which sits inside every range above. For checks on the other pin specs, see Pinterest pin specs.
