Smallest AI video clip you can buy on Sume: shortest length, price
The shortest clips on Sume: Wan 3.0 from 2 s, Gemini Omni Flash from 3 s, Seedance from 4 s. Cheapest test render costs $0.1125, before a $0.0062 fee.
The cheapest video test on Sume is a 3-second Gemini Omni Flash clip at 360p, which sells for $0.1125, or a 2-second Wan 3.0 clip at 480p for $0.125. Seedance starts at 4 seconds: $0.35154 on 2.0 mini and $1.074709 on 2.5. All figures are before the 5.5% fee.
Where the minimums come from
Each model has a duration range in the repo's catalog and docs: Wan 3.0 accepts 2 to 30 seconds, Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 accepts 3 to 10, and Seedance 2.5 accepts 4 to 30 (the 2.0 family 4 to 15). The shortest duration at the lowest resolution gives the smallest price. See the video router docs for current options.

Why prototype small
- A 3-second 360p Omni test checks that your prompt and key work for about 11 cents.
- Moving from a 2-second to a 30-second Wan clip multiplies the price by 15 with the resolution unchanged.
- Seedance 2.5 cannot go below 4 seconds, so it is not the model for the cheapest probe.
Balance check
A balance under the hold gets 402 insufficient_credits and nothing is charged. The dollar post shows what $1 covers across all of these.
