What does a video clip cost to generate?

Question

Accepted Answer

read the pricing unit before the price generate a five second clip of <shot> with minimax h3-max-turbo at 480P on monid, passing the parameters in the request BODY: every video endpoint here takes a body, and sent as query params none of them run at all. tell me the billed seconds so i can check the price against the rate what came back: a playable 480P clip, five billed seconds, in fifteen seconds of wall clock the spread: the identical five-second prompt is $0.125 here and over $1.40 on the top audio tier the health flag: the cheapest endpoint is marked degraded in the catalog and still answered first try plain inspect crashes on four of these models: it dies mid-pricing with a type error and prints no input schema at all, so an agent told to inspect before running stalls on a model that works; ask for JSON output instead and it answers a dead job can still say COMPLETED: two runs came back with a run status of COMPLETED over a provider response of 500 and a body reading failed. They correctly billed nothing, but anything branching on the run status reports a success that has no file behind it the rule: pick the tier by what the shot needs, because the model choice is an eleven-fold decision
