Render a 1-minute video with the Timeline API: $0.10
Sume Timeline 1.0 renders at $0.10 per ceil(output minute), so 1 minute of finished video is $0.10. Compose and audio steps are $0.02 and $0.01 per job.
Rendering a 1-minute video on Sume's Timeline costs $0.10: the public rate is $0.10 per ceil(output minute). A 1-minute output bills 1 minute.
Source: the Timeline docs, read 2026-10-06. The reserve is ceil(audio.duration_seconds / 60) minutes, and the job uses no AI model, so the cost does not depend on resolution.
What else is on the bill?
Timeline audio and compose steps are fixed per job:
| Step | Price |
|---|---|
| Timeline render | $0.10 for 1 min |
| Timeline audio (per job) | $0.01 |
| Timeline compose (per job) | $0.02 |
What should I know?
Keep a 61-second cut at 60 seconds if you can.
- Renders past 12 segments chunk automatically with
render.strategy: auto. strategy: singleabove 12 slots returnsrender_strategy_unsafe.- Billing rounds the output minute up: 61 seconds bills 2 minutes.
