The three tiers and actual studio rates
Credit costs are calculated from the selected length and tier. A longer clip costs more even when the requested resolution stays the same. The displayed generation quote is the amount reserved when you start.
The dimensions describe the requested/export size. Generation quality and facial detail can vary. In the dedicated H3 workflow the service exports the native result to the selected size; the separate reference guide explains that process.
| Tier | Requested short edge | 4 seconds | 10 seconds | 15 seconds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preview | 480p | 16 credits | 40 credits | 60 credits |
| Standard | 720p | 48 credits | 120 credits | 180 credits |
| HD | 1080p | 100 credits | 250 credits | 375 credits |
Vertical and landscape use the same rate
9:16 emphasizes the pair in a mobile frame. 16:9 gives the scene more horizontal room. The aspect ratio does not change the credit rate; changing the duration or quality does.
One $5 pack provides 120 credits before applicable taxes, enough for a 10-second Standard take. A photo uses a separate fixed 18-credit rate for a 1K still. Credits are purchased in packs rather than charged as a new dollar payment for each setting change.
Resolution is not a likeness guarantee
A higher output size cannot fix missing detail in the references or guarantee exact choreography. Start by checking the source photos and the visual aim. For a new pair, a short Preview may answer whether the composition works before you spend more.
Review the downloaded file rather than relying on a player's scaled display. A 720p file can appear smaller inside a webpage while retaining its actual dimensions. Avoid repeated re-encoding in an editor if you want to preserve detail.
