Which Sume video models stop at 15 seconds and which reach 30?
Seedance 2.5, Wan 3.0, Genjutsu and H3 Max Recast go past 15 seconds on Sume; MiniMax H3 stops at 15 and Gemini Omni Flash 1.1 at 10. The full limit table.
On Sume, seedance-2.5 takes 4 to 30 seconds, wan-3.0 takes 2 to 30, higgsfield-genjutsu takes 4 to 30 and h3-max-recast takes 5 to 30. minimax-h3 and minimax-h3-max take 5 to 15, gemini-omni-flash-1.1 takes 3 to 10, and the docs give every other catalog model a 15-second ceiling.
These limits come from Video generation and Video Router. The catalog is the source of truth, so read supported_durations from GET /v1/videos/models rather than hard-coding this table.

What to do with a longer script
For anything past a model's ceiling, generate shots and assemble them. Timeline 1.0 is the public assembly surface: one audio spine plus ordered video slots into a long-form MP4.
- Under 15 s: any model fits; pick on price and look.
- 15 to 30 s in one take: Seedance 2.5 or Wan 3.0.
- Over 30 s: shots plus Timeline.
