School closure notice: a 15-second vertical avatar video, priced

A closure notice is short and urgent, and the same wording goes to many parents. At Sume's listed no-product rates, 15 seconds costs about $2.76 on Standard, $3.68 on Plus and $8.25 on Max. Standard is the fastest execution path, which matters when the notice is time-sensitive.

The script and the call

Write about 15 seconds: which school, which day, whether it is closed or delayed, and where to read updates. Do not rely on the video alone for urgent safety information; post the text too.

Submit POST /v1/avatar-1.0/talking-video with the school's avatar_handle, the script, quality standard and aspect_ratio 9:16. Prefer mode: "webhook" or polling over a sync wait: video jobs usually outlast the 30-second wait budget (Jobs and results).

What it costs

At 15 seconds: Sume reserves on its planned billable seconds, which can differ a little from the length of your script, so these are estimates.

Look before you render

Watch it end to end against your approved text before you send it. A short script leaves little room for a wrong date. If the date changes, render again rather than editing the video.

Label it

Tell viewers the presenter is AI-generated. Sume's disclosure record post lists the job fields worth saving per clip, and authored caption cues can burn a disclosure line into the video.
