Formula: per generation = max(seconds, model minimum) × ($/s at resolution + output-format surcharge) + Omni Flash input extras, floored at the model's minimum charge and rounded up to a whole credit (1 credit = $0.01). Per kept clip = per generation × takes; monthly = kept clips × per kept clip. Minimums: Gen-4.5 2 s, Gen-4 Turbo $0.10, Aleph 2.0 $0.56, Act Two $0.15, Seedance 2.0 / Fast / Mini 4 s, Seedance 2.5 $0.80, MiniMax H3 Max 5 s. Veo 3.1 is the same rate at 720p and 1080p. Recipes: Product Ad $1.76 (720p) / $2.16 (1080p) for 4 s + $0.30 / $0.40 per extra second; Product Swap $1.88 / $2.28; Product UGC $1.68 / $2.08; Multi-Shot $0.13 / $0.17 per s + $0.04 per call (5 s min).
