Vet Clinic Vaccine Reminder as an AI Avatar Video: Script, Cost

Vaccine reminders are routine, but pet owners respond to a friendly face. A Sume Avatar 1.0 clip can deliver the message in 4 to 60 seconds with a consistent clinic host.

Prices are from Sume's API pricing page and the request shape from Generate avatar video, both read on 2026-10-05. The avatar must exist first: Create new avatar accepts a prompt, a profile or a photo.

What should the script and scenes look like?

Keep the reminder generic enough to apply to a whole list, since the clip is one render for everyone. Counts use 2.8 words per second, rounded up per scene.

The seconds column is Sume's planning estimate of ceil(words / 2.8) per scene, not a measured render time.

}

What does it cost?

The plan above comes to 18 seconds, inside the 4 to 60 second window. At Sume's per-second rates (no product image), one render costs $3.31 on standard, $4.41 on plus (the default when quality is omitted) and $9.90 on max. Creating the avatar is a separate one-time $0.95; later clips reuse the handle.

Where does personalization go?

A single render cannot say each pet's name. For personal details, keep them in the email text around the clip, or render a few variants by species. Sume bills each render by its length, so ten 20-second variants cost ten times one.

Do not state dates or intervals in the script unless they hold for every recipient.

What will it not do?

It will not give veterinary advice or answer questions about a specific animal. It reads a fixed script.

Scripts for Avatar Video should be English; Sume's guidance is that non-English speech breaks caption alignment.
