Video Duration Options

Video Duration Guide

Choose the right video length for your content needs. Duration directly impacts both your video's impact and credit cost.

Available Durations by Model

Different models support different duration options:

Seedance 2.0 is the most flexible model — pick any whole second between 4 and 15s. Kling 3 Pro is the next most flexible (3–15s).

How Duration Affects Cost

Video cost is calculated per second:

Formula: Duration x 5 credits x Model Multiplier

Example costs for Veo 3.1 Lite (1x multiplier):

• 4 seconds: 4 x 5 x 1 = 20 credits

• 6 seconds: 6 x 5 x 1 = 30 credits

• 8 seconds: 8 x 5 x 1 = 40 credits

Example costs for Kling 2.6 Pro (2x multiplier):

• 5 seconds: 5 x 5 x 2 = 50 credits

• 10 seconds: 10 x 5 x 2 = 100 credits

Example costs for Kling 3 Pro (2x multiplier):

• 5 seconds: 5 x 5 x 2 = 50 credits

• 10 seconds: 10 x 5 x 2 = 100 credits

• 15 seconds: 15 x 5 x 2 = 150 credits

Example costs for Seedance 2.0 (4x multiplier):

• 4 seconds: 4 x 5 x 4 = 80 credits

• 8 seconds: 8 x 5 x 4 = 160 credits

• 15 seconds: 15 x 5 x 4 = 300 credits

Example costs for Veo 3.1 (5x multiplier):

• 4 seconds: 4 x 5 x 5 = 100 credits

• 8 seconds: 8 x 5 x 5 = 200 credits

Note: If you select a higher resolution (on supported models), the cost is multiplied further — 2x for 1080p, 3x for 4K. Audio generation also adds to the cost where supported.

Tips for Duration Selection

• Start short: Test with shorter durations first, then extend

• Match platform: Different platforms have different ideal lengths

• Consider motion: Simple scenes may not need long durations
