Render a 30-minute video with Sume Timeline: $3.00
Sume Timeline 1.0 charges $0.10 per output minute, rounded up: a 30-minute audio spine is $3.00. Maximum 1,800 seconds per render. Read 2026-10-09.
Assembling a 30-minute long-form video with Timeline 1.0 costs $3.00 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 30 min | 30 | $3.00 |
| 30 min 1 s | 31 | $3.10 |
| 1770 s | 30 | $3.00 |
The full job
The fee covers assembly only. Narration for the same 30 minutes is separate; at Sume's $0.0475 per 1,000 characters, a script of 900 characters per minute is $1.282. That 900-characters-a-minute pace is an assumption for planning, not a Sume figure.
