Inside a quiet mountain tea house, steam curls from a ceramic cup on a rain-speckled window ledge. Focus slowly shifts from the cup to distant fog moving between pine trees. Warm interior light against cool blue rain, restrained live-action cinematography, locked camera, believable steam. No people or lettering.
A red paper lantern hangs from a timber eave during gentle snowfall at dusk. It sways slightly in the wind while warm light softly glows through damp paper. Fixed close camera, snowflakes cross different focal planes, distant rooftops dissolve into blue haze. Natural motion, no symbols or text.
A curled young fern frond slowly unfurls in a damp forest close-up. Tiny dew droplets sparkle along the edge, dark moss fills the background. Gentle time-lapse botanical motion, stable macro camera, realistic green textures and soft morning light. No insects or text.
These are source observations, not interchangeable quotes. Token, compute-time, output-duration and per-request prices cannot be compared by the number alone. Input charges and optional features may add to the total.
Video costs $0.05 per second at 480p, $0.06 per second at 768p, $0.13 per second at 2K and $0.16 per second at 4K.
