From per second to per clip
Every common clip length at 480p and 768p.
| Clip length | 480p | 768p |
|---|---|---|

- Unit. One second of generated video. A request for 5–15 s is billed for exactly that many seconds at its resolution's rate.
- Tasks. Text to video and image to video share the same per-second rates.
- No request fee. Nothing is added per request: a clip costs its seconds times the rate.
- Failed = free. Failed generations, and jobs cancelled while queued, are refunded in full.
- Price first. POST /v1/quote/minimax/h3-max/text-to-video returns the exact price of any request, free.
