What an AI Character Video Costs

Updated

A character clip in chat is a short image-to-video job, not an open-ended render. At 720P, 5 seconds costs 15 tokens and 10 seconds costs 20 tokens. Those numbers are the same quote the product shows before you generate.

A retry is a new clip at the same quote. Free Mode prices text creation and supported reference editing inside its own workspace. Trial allows each account 1 completed Free Mode image or video, including edits. Tokens apply. After that, All Access is required.

There is no success-rate promise. Length, resolution, and the token quote are the limits you can check before you spend.

Chat clip prices

5 seconds: 15 tokens. 10 seconds: 20 tokens. Both are 720P image-to-video from a still.

What a retry costs

Generating again spends the quote again. Changing the motion description does not turn the previous clip into a free edit.

Free Mode is a different quote

Free Mode does not require a companion record. It supports text creation and supported media-reference editing; its selected mode, duration, resolution and output count determine the Studio quote. Check the total in the workspace before generating. Trial allows each account 1 completed Free Mode image or video, including edits. Tokens apply. After that, All Access is required; opening the workspace is not a paid generation.

Include a new source image only when you need one

If you deliberately generate a new character image in chat (4 Tokens) and then one 5-second character clip (15 Tokens), the illustrative total is 19 Tokens. A new image plus one 10-second clip totals 24 Tokens. These examples count two separate requests, without retries.

Using an existing image does not add a new image-generation charge to this calculation. If you generate another image or clip, add that request's displayed quote. These character-flow figures do not price Free Mode modes; check the current product quote before generating.

An illustrative clip budget

Two 5-second character clips plus one 10-second character clip total 50 tokens (15 + 15 + 20). This is an illustrative budget for three deliberate requests at the current character quotes, not a bundle, discount or success-rate claim. A fourth request adds its displayed quote.

A failed or interrupted request is different from choosing to generate again. Check its job status and wallet before resubmitting; this guide does not determine refund eligibility.

FAQ

Does the clip budget include creating its source image?
No. The illustrated budget counts only the three video requests. If you need to generate the source image first, add the price shown for that separate request.
Should I retry immediately if the request fails or is interrupted?
Check the existing job status and wallet first. A deliberate new generation has its own quote; a failed request is a different case, and this guide does not decide refund eligibility.
Is a longer clip the same price?
No. 10 seconds (20 tokens) costs more than 5 seconds (15 tokens).
Does opening the studio spend tokens?
Opening Free Mode does not generate a clip. Trial allows each account 1 completed Free Mode image or video, including edits. Tokens apply. After that, All Access is required.
