Billing example
Example: You use video editing (Web SDK or API) in the Chinese mainland to process three videos between 8:00 and 9:00. Output durations and resolutions: 29 min 40 sec at 1080p, 2 min 12 sec at 1080p, and 44 min 30 sec at 720p. Fee calculation: 30 × 0.06 + 3 × 0.06 + 45 × 0.03 = CNY 3.33.
Example: For the same scenario, the fee in USD is: 30 × 0.0084 + 3 × 0.0084 + 45 × 0.0042 = USD 0.4662.
