Pricing
Vidu Q3 Turbo API pricing. By the second.
Pay as you go from prepaid credit, with no subscription and no minimum. A video is charged only once it's delivered; videos that fail cost nothing.
A clip costs its length in seconds times the price at its resolution. It's held from your balance when the job is accepted and charged when the video is delivered. Sound, first and last frames, reference images and the aspect ratio don't change the price.
Pick a resolution and a length, and how many videos you make.
100 clips × $0.235
