Product Video API Cost
Quick Answer
Product video API cost combines image-to-video generation, product image inputs, batch job management, duration, resolution, retries and manual review steps. Each step can introduce billing variables that are easy to underestimate.
What affects cost
Product video cost varies with the product image input, generated duration, output resolution, batch job size, retry behavior, webhook or polling overhead and whether manual review or re-generation is needed for quality control.
Common billing units
- image for product image input processing
- duration for generated video length
- resolution as a cost multiplier
- task for batch job management
Cost risks
Batching many product images without testing cost per unit, retrying failed outputs in a batch, assuming failed batch jobs are free and manual review adding extra generation rounds can all inflate product video spend.
Small test checklist
- Test one product image through the full workflow
- Record cost per product at each duration and resolution
- Check whether batch failures are billed per job or per output
- Estimate manual review and re-generation cost
Common errors / failed tasks
Product image format rejection, batch partial failure, quality review triggering re-generation, webhook delivery failure for large batches. Use logs to track batch job status per product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is product video cost predictable?
It can be, but batch size, resolution, duration and retry behavior all affect the final per-product cost.
Should I test batch cost per product?
Yes. Running a small batch first helps you estimate per-product cost before committing to a full catalog.
Can failed batch jobs affect the whole batch cost?
Depending on provider, failed jobs may still be billed. Track job IDs per product to verify billing.
