Raw-to-plated recipe clip: first and last frame on Sume

For a raw-to-plated recipe clip, send the raw-ingredients photo as the first frame and the finished-dish photo as the last frame in one POST /v1/videos request. On Sume, wan-3.0, gemini-omni-flash-1.1, minimax-h3, kling-3 and the Seedance ids all list end-frame support in the catalog, so the clip is generated between your two photos instead of toward whatever the prompt invents. An 8-second 720p clip costs $1.00 on Wan 3.0 or Omni Flash 1.1, and $0.60 on MiniMax H3 at its native 768p.

The request shape is the OpenRouter-style one documented on Video generation: frame_images with frame_type set to first_frame and last_frame. The limits per model come from the Video Router page, read on 2026-10-06.

What does the request look like?

Two frame_images entries and a short prompt that describes the motion between them. The API infers image-to-video from frame_images, so you never declare a mode. Keep both photos at the same framing (same overhead angle, same board), because the model has to travel from one to the other in the time you give it.

    "duration": 8,
    "resolution": "720p",

    ]
  }'

What does an 8-second recipe clip cost?

The table prices the same 8-second request on the models that take a last frame. Omni Flash 1.1 makes 16:9 or 9:16 clips only and always produces synced audio; H3 also has native audio with no toggle.

Which one should I try first?

Sume does not rank output quality, so decide by constraint. If the two photos are 4:3, skip Omni Flash and Kling, which do not list that ratio. For a throwaway test, run it at 480p on wan-3.0 for $0.50 before paying for the 720p pass. Nothing on Sume accepts a seed, so a re-run will not repeat the clip; budget one or two takes.
