Shortest billable clip: Wan 3.0 at 2 seconds versus H3 at 5 seconds
Wan 3.0 starts at 2 seconds and MiniMax H3 at 5 on Sume. Shortest job: Wan 480p $0.13, H3 480p $0.38. Table of minimums for all models.
The minimum duration sets your floor cost for hooks and cutaways. Prices are Sume billable rates (provider list x 1.25, rounded up to the cent per job), read 2026-10-07.
Minimum job
| Model | Min length | Cheapest rate | Floor price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wan 3.0 | 2 s | $0.0625 at 480p | $0.13 |
| MiniMax H3 | 5 s | $0.0625 at 480p | $0.32 |
| Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 | 3 s | $0.0375 at 360p | $0.12 |
| Kling 3 | 4 s | $0.14 audio off | $0.56 |
| Grok Imagine Video 1.5 | 4 s | $0.0125 | $0.05 |
For 2-second hooks Wan is the only model that fits without trimming. Everything else bills at least its minimum, so trim afterwards ($0.10 per output minute on video trim) only if the longer clip is useful.
