Reference inputs
- H3: the first 5 reference images are free, then $0.04 each. Input video is billed per second at the output’s rate ($0.08 at 768P, $0.13 at 2K). Audio input is free.
- H3 Max: the first 2 reference images are free, then $0.074 each. Input video costs $0.143 per second at 768P, more than the output itself.
