Billing

Cloud export uses the same billing rules in OpenAPI and in the app.

Billing Basics

Billing depends on three things:

• output duration
• output resolution
• frame rate

Use this as the baseline:

• 1280 x 720 at 30fps costs 100 credits per output minute
• 60fps costs 2x of 30fps
• outputs smaller than 720p still use a minimum low-resolution rate of 65 credits per output minute at 30fps
• export duration is rounded up to the next whole second before billing

Reference Pricing

These examples show the cost of 1 minute of output.

Notes:

• 720p means 1280 x 720
• 1080p means 1920 x 1080
• exports below 720p are billed at a minimum low-resolution rate

API Fields

Export responses and export webhooks include two fields related to billing:

• durationSeconds: the real output duration
• billedStandardSeconds: the normalized billing usage used for quota and credit charging

In other words:

• durationSeconds tells you how long the exported video is
• billedStandardSeconds tells you how much billable usage the export consumed

To convert billed usage into credits:

credits = billedStandardSeconds / 60 * 100

Examples

1 minute at 720p / 30fps

• durationSeconds: about 60
• billedStandardSeconds: 60
• credits charged: 100

1 minute at 540p / 30fps

• durationSeconds: about 60
• billedStandardSeconds: 39
• credits charged: 65

1 minute at 1080p / 30fps

• durationSeconds: about 60
• billedStandardSeconds: 135
• credits charged: 225

1 minute at 720p / 60fps

• durationSeconds: about 60
• billedStandardSeconds: 120
• credits charged: 200

Export Limits

• Exports below 4K support up to 26 minutes per task.
• 4K exports (>= 3840 x 2160) support up to 15 minutes per task.
• Requests above the limit are rejected before billing.

Quota And Billing

• OpenAPI monthly export quota uses billedStandardSeconds
• in-app included export quota also uses billedStandardSeconds
• if included quota is exhausted, the extra usage is charged in credits
