Batch of 10 product Shorts: cost table on Sume
Ten five-still product Shorts cost $4.675 on Sume, or $6.675 with captions. What scales and what a preflight saves.
Affiliate and product-tag tests (reported by HeyOrca, read 2026-10-07) favor volume. Here is the arithmetic for ten Shorts at the five-still build price.
Totals
| Option | Per Short | Ten |
|---|---|---|
| Stills, voice, bed, render | $0.4675 | $4.675 |
| Plus captions | $0.6675 | $6.675 |
| Plus a 360p Omni opener, 3 s | $0.5800 | $5.80 |
What helps
Reuse one music bed across the batch: that saves $0.125 on nine Shorts, $1.125 in all. Run Timeline plan before each render; it is unbilled and catches bad inputs. Jobs are asynchronous and writes need an Idempotency-Key, so send one per Short.
