Make video
How do I make a clip, what does it cost, and how long does it take?
Checked against the code on
Video runs in the workspace only. Pick a video model, describe the clip, choose a shape and a length, and the exact price is shown before you start. The API does not have a video endpoint yet.
- Choose a video modelKling, Veo, Runway, Seedance, Hailuo and others. The catalog lists them with their per-clip prices.
- Choose shape and lengthEach model renders a fixed set of aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) and durations (typically 5, 8 or 10 seconds). The picker only offers combinations the model publishes a price for.
- See the price, then renderThe price is the model's published price for that exact shape and length, in credits. Nothing is estimated.
- WaitRenders take from under a minute to several minutes. The clip shows its first frame while it works, and you can leave the page.
Billing
- The price is reserved when the render starts and held for up to 20 minutes.
- A render that fails releases the hold. You are charged only for a clip that completes.
- Ten renders per minute per account.
- The description is limited to 2,000 characters.
Keeping the clip
Finished clips are saved to your library and can be downloaded as MP4. They are served from askr, to you only.

That model renders X, Y second clips. Ask for one of those. | The length you asked for is not one the model offers. |
That model has no published price for this length and shape. | The combination cannot be billed, so it is refused before anything runs. |
Not enough credits for this video. | The balance cannot cover the price. The message says how much is needed. |
The gateway would not start that render. Nothing was charged. | The provider refused. Try again or change the prompt. |
