How to read these numbers
- Credits follow the provider’s own price. Each rate is set from what the model’s provider charges per second, so a model that costs its maker more costs more here too.
- “10 seconds of video” is the footage cost only. A model with a shorter maximum clip makes those 10 seconds from more than one clip.
- “Starts from” lists what a clip can be generated from: a text prompt, a start image, and for some models an end image too.
- Voiceover, captions and music are added by FrameSurfer on any model, including the silent ones.
