UGC script length: how many words fit 4 to 60 seconds of avatar
Avatar Video accepts 4 to 60 seconds. Plan your UGC script by words, then see the price at standard and plus quality with a product image.
From words to seconds to dollars
Avatar Video bills the seconds of the finished video, and a script must land between 4 and 60 seconds. As a planning assumption (not a Sume guarantee) use about 2.5 spoken words per second, then check the real length on the first draft.
| Seconds | Words at 2.5/s | Standard with product | Plus with product |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 10 | $0.78 | $1.04 |
| 15 | 37 | $2.91 | $3.87 |
| 30 | 75 | $5.82 | $7.74 |
| 60 | 150 | $11.64 | $15.48 |
Too short or too long
Under 4 seconds is rejected: pad with a silence beat or a longer line. Over 60 seconds means splitting into scenes through video_inputs (up to 20 scenes) or separate jobs.
