How this estimate works

Formula: duration × FPS × width × height ÷ (1920 × 1080 × 30 × 60), with the shared minimum render credit applied.
  • Credits are normalized to 1920 × 1080 × 30 FPS × 60 seconds.
  • The monthly estimate uses the best published package rate and is display-only.
  • Encoding, storage, retries, and third-party delivery costs are not included.

Frequently asked questions

What is one credit?

One credit represents one minute of 1080p30 rendering. Duration, frame rate, and resolution scale the estimate proportionally.

Is the result the final invoice?

No. It is a display estimate using the shared pricing contract; the API and current plan limits remain authoritative.

Can I copy a request after calculating?

Yes. Use the developer portal JSON-to-MP4 playground to validate a payload and copy a language-specific request preview.
