AI Video Editing API Pricing
Editing models solve a different job from text-to-video: preserve useful source motion and change a bounded part of the clip. This view filters for explicit editing support.

Per-second models
Reference rate × generated seconds, subject to any stored minimum generation charge. A 10-second attempt at $0.10/sec is $1.00 before retries.
Retries matter
If a final clip takes four attempts on average, generation spend is roughly four times the one-attempt estimate. Use your own observed retry rate when budgeting.
Project price is different
API spend is only one production cost. Creator hours, image generation, audio, revision reserve and margin belong in the full project Pricing Calculator.
