Repost or regenerate a 15-second Wan clip for Reels and Shorts?
Repurpose.io can repost TikTok or Reels to Shorts. A 15-second Wan 720p clip costs $1.88 to generate; regenerating per platform triples it.
A Repurpose.io partnership is reported to let you repost TikTok and Reels clips to Shorts (reported by HeyOrca, read 2026-10-07). That makes one render the default. When does regenerating per platform make sense? Prices are Sume billable rates (provider list x 1.25, rounded up to the cent per job), read 2026-10-07.
Cost of each path
A 15-second Wan 3.0 clip at 720p is $1.88. Regenerating one for each of three platforms is $5.64 and gives three different takes; reposting one is $1.88 plus the repost tool.
| Path | Generations | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Generate once, repost everywhere | 1 | $1.88 |
| Regenerate for 3 platforms | 3 | $5.64 |
| Generate 30 s, trim to 15 s (trim $0.10/min) | 1 | $3.85 |
Regenerate only when the crop or the pacing differs: 9:16 for all three platforms is the same shape, so a repost covers it. Different aspect needs, such as a 16:9 variant for YouTube, justify a second job. Wan accepts 9:16, 3:4, 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9.
