Render a 3-minute video with Sume Timeline: $0.30
Sume Timeline 1.0 charges $0.10 per output minute, rounded up: a 3-minute audio spine is $0.30. Maximum 1,800 seconds per render. Read 2026-10-09.
Assembling a 3-minute long-form video with Timeline 1.0 costs $0.30 for the render. The catalog bills ceil(audio seconds / 60) times $0.10 per output minute, with a 1,800-second (30-minute) maximum.
Render price by length
The billed minute count is the audio spine length divided by 60, rounded up (read 2026-10-09). The render fee excludes the clips and voice you generate to fill it.
| Audio length | Billed minutes | Render fee |
|---|---|---|
| 3 min | 3 | $0.30 |
| 3 min 1 s | 4 | $0.40 |
| 150 s | 3 | $0.30 |
The full job
The fee covers assembly only. Narration for the same 3 minutes is separate; at Sume's $0.0475 per 1,000 characters, a script of 900 characters per minute is $0.128. That 900-characters-a-minute pace is an assumption for planning, not a Sume figure.
