Training knowledge-check clips with an AI avatar, one per question
Make a question clip and an answer clip per quiz item with one Sume avatar: 10-second scripts, a silence beat for thinking time, and the cost for 20 questions.
For a training knowledge check, render two short clips per question with the same avatar: a 10-second question and a 10-second answer. On Sume standard that is $1.84 per clip, so 20 questions as 40 clips cost $73.60; on plus it is $98.00 and on max $220.00. Sume renders the video only: scoring, branching and pass marks belong in your learning system. See the avatar video docs.
Use a silence beat for thinking time
In one video_inputs plan a scene with voice.type silence and a duration makes the avatar pause without speech. A question scene, a silence scene and a prompt scene fit in one clip if the total stays within 4-60 seconds.
- Spoken scenes use
scriptorinput_text, not both. - Silence scenes need
durationand no text. - All scenes share one avatar and one resolved background.
Cost for 20 questions
Forty 10-second clips, no product image.
