Proposal walkthrough video with an AI avatar: 40 seconds, by tier

A 40-second avatar walkthrough of a quote costs $7.36 on Sume standard, $9.80 on plus and $22.00 on max. Write it as three scenes in video_inputs (scope, timeline, price) or as one script, send it to POST /v1/avatar-1.0/talking-video, and attach the finished video URL to your proposal email. The avatar video docs show the scene format.

Three scenes, one avatar, one background

Multi-scene plans use ordered video_inputs. Sume's current execution supports one resolved avatar per final video and expects the scene backgrounds to resolve to one shared scene, so the three beats are cuts of the same presenter in the same room. The total planned duration must still be 4-60 seconds.

Cost per quote

Prices come from the per-second rate card: no product image here, so the cheaper column applies.

Preview the first frames for a large deal

For a high-value quote, create an avatar video preview first. It makes first-frame stills only; call generate-video on the preview id when the framing is right. If you change the script after approving a preview, make a new preview.
