Cost Calculation

For endpoints priced per 30-second block:

Credits = ceil(duration_seconds / 30) x credits_per_30s

For Aurora:

Credits = ceil(duration_seconds) x model_credits_per_second

Examples

Video Duration	Create (5/30s)	Preview (1/30s)	Render (4/30s)	Preview+Render
15 seconds	5 credits	1 credit	4 credits	5 credits
30 seconds	5 credits	1 credit	4 credits	5 credits
45 seconds	10 credits	2 credits	8 credits	10 credits
60 seconds	10 credits	2 credits	8 credits	10 credits
90 seconds	15 credits	3 credits	12 credits	15 credits
120 seconds	20 credits	4 credits	16 credits	20 credits

Budget Planning

Per-Video Budget

Quality Level	Approach	Cost/30s
Draft	Preview only	1 credit
Standard	Direct create	5 credits
Reviewed	Preview + Render	5 credits
Product Video	Direct	3 credits

Batch Budget Estimator

Videos	Duration	Approach	Total Credits
10	30s	Preview+Render	50
10	60s	Preview+Render	100
50	30s	Direct create	250
50	30s	Preview+Render	250
100	30s	Product Video	300

TIP

Preview + Render costs the same total credits as Direct Create, but lets you review before committing to the render. Always use preview when testing new content.

Browser estimate boundary

Browser setup estimates can differ from the completed draft's editor charge. The editor's final Render charge is the authoritative browser cost gate. API jobs use the endpoint's published pricing and the returned credits_used value where available.
