Claymation look test: four Sume video models at low resolution

To test a claymation look, run the same prompt on four Sume models at their lowest resolution: gemini-omni-flash-1.1 at 360p for $0.15, wan-3.0 at 480p for $0.25, minimax-h3 at 480p for $0.32 and seedance-2-mini at 480p for $0.35. That is $1.07 for a four-model comparison of 4-to-5-second clips, before you spend anything on a final.

Sume does not publish a ranking of which model renders a style best, so this post only prices the test. The limits and rates come from the Video Router page, read 2026-10-06, and each row below is the catalog rate times 1.25, rounded up to the cent.

What does the draft pass cost?

Each model is at its lowest listed resolution and shortest clip that fits its minimum (Omni 3 s and up, Wan 2 s and up, Seedance 4 s and up, H3 5 s and up). I used 4 seconds except H3, whose minimum is 5.

What would the finals cost?

If one draft nails the clay texture, repeat it at a higher rung. The same 4-second clip at 1080p is $0.75 on Omni Flash 1.1 and $1.00 on Wan 3.0. H3 tops out at 768p, so pick it only if its draft already looks final.

How should I word the test?

Use one prompt for all four, name the material (hand-sculpted clay, visible thumbprints, stop-motion jitter) and the camera in the same sentence, and send it as text-to-video so no first frame biases the result. A claymation restyle of footage you already have is a different job: that is Omni Flash's video edit mode, which takes a video_url.
