What $50 buys in 5-second AI video clips on each Sume model
$50 buys 131 five-second clips on H3 at 768p or 17 on Seedance 2.5 at 720p on Sume. Ten rows, clip counts rounded down.
A $50 balance buys 131 five-second clips on H3 at 768p, 100 on H3 Max at 768p, 79 on Wan 3.0 at 720p and 17 on Seedance 2.5 at 720p, counting one take per clip. Those are the extremes from ten Sume rows.
Method
Each clip price is the Sume billable rate (list times 1.25) times 5 seconds, rounded up to the cent per job. The count is $50 divided by that price, rounded down, because Sume reserves the full price on submit. Seedance rows use the token formula at 720p, 16:9. Pick other durations from the length table.
Clips per $50
| Model and tier | Per clip | Clips per $50 |
|---|---|---|
| H3 768p | $0.38 | 131 |
| H3 Max 768p | $0.50 | 100 |
| Wan 3.0 720p | $0.63 | 79 |
| Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 720p | $0.63 | 79 |
| Kling 3 audio off | $0.70 | 71 |
| Seedance 2 mini 720p | $0.95 | 52 |
| Kling 3 audio on | $1.05 | 47 |
| Seedance 2 fast 720p | $1.52 | 32 |
| Seedance 2 720p | $1.89 | 26 |
| Seedance 2.5 720p | $2.89 | 17 |
From clips to keepers
These counts are generations, not keepers. If you need three takes for each usable clip, divide by three: H3 at 768p gives about 43 keepers, Seedance 2.5 at 720p 5 to 6. The 8-second budget post works that out for longer clips.
A cheaper row does not make the video better; it makes more attempts affordable. Use it where attempts are the bottleneck, and pay for a pricier row where one great shot matters.
Caveats
Kling 3 is shown with audio off and on because it prices audio separately. Omni and Wan include audio. Resolution changes everything: the same $50 on Wan 3.0 at 1080p buys 40 five-second clips at $1.25 each. Recheck the catalog before a large run.
