Example 1: A 60-second API video at standard resolution with 40 seconds of Premium avatar visibility:
  • Base export cost: 0 credits (API video - included)
  • High-res cost: 0 credits (≤1080p)
  • Avatar cost: 40s × 0.8 = 32 credits
  • Total cost: 32 credits
Example 2: A 60-second API video with 3 avatar segments using Veo 3 Fast:
  • Base export cost: 0 credits (API video - included)
  • High-res cost: 0 credits (≤1080p)
  • Avatar cost: 3 segments × 8 seconds × 2.3 = 55.2 credits
  • Total cost: 55.2 credits
Example 3: A 60-second API video exported at 3840x2160 (4K):
  • Base export cost: 0 credits (API video - included)
