What a 3s job costs
23 of the 24 publish a price matrix that says what 3s costs. The other 1 do not: either clip length is not a term in their billing at all, or the per-second arithmetic contradicts the complete-job range the same matrix declares — in which case nothing is printed rather than picking whichever number suits. The spread across those 23 is 6 to 168 credits for the same 3s of output.

Every figure is computed from that model's own price matrix and checked against the complete-job range the same matrix declares. Where the two disagree, the row is omitted rather than guessed at. 1 of the 24 are omitted for that reason or because clip length is not a term in their billing at all: Vidu Q2 Pro Image to Video.
0
go no longer than 3s
Every model here supports something longer than 3s.
12
will not go shorter
3s is the shortest clip these will generate, so it is also the cheapest way to test a prompt on them.

Cheapest complete job first. Every row links to that model's spec page — tier and mode variants share a page with the model they are a variant of, so this is products rather than SKUs.

How these models are billed
Four different billing shapes across the roster, which is why a straight comparison of headline figures between two of these models can mislead.
- Charged per second, at a rate that changes with output resolution12 models
- Charged a base charge plus a per-second rate7 models
- Charged per second of output4 models
- Charged by output resolution, audio and clip length1 model
All figures are Versely credits. A credit figure marked as a headline rate is not the cost of a complete job. Your plan's credit allowance is on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions
How many AI models can generate a 3s video?+
24 models on Versely list 3s among the clip lengths they support in a single pass — all of them video models, across 9 providers. Anything longer than a model's own maximum has to be built by extending a clip, which is billed as a second job.
What is the cheapest way to generate 3s of video?+
PrunaAI P-Video works out cheapest at 6 credits for 3s, computed from its own price matrix (2/second x 3s). The dearest of the 23 priced here is Kling Video V3 4K Text to Video at 168 credits. All figures are Versely credits.
Is 3s the longest clip these models will make?+
No — every one of the 24 supports something longer, so 3s is a setting on all of them rather than a limit, and on 12 it is the shortest clip available.
Why do some models have no 3s price here?+
1 of the 24 are listed without a figure. Either their billing does not have clip length as a term at all — a flat or per-megapixel model charges the same whatever the length — or multiplying their published rate by 3 produces a number outside the complete-job range the same price matrix declares. Where the snapshot contradicts itself, this page prints nothing rather than choosing.
