Quick summary: The January 2026 video release added Standard mode with selectable resolution, duration, and audio, then introduced dynamic pricing tied to those choices. Current documentation still uses that structure, although the listed prices have changed since launch.
The release separated Standard video from the legacy mode
v4.9.0 introduced a new Standard video model for SFW generation while retaining the earlier Adult workflow as a legacy option. Standard mode added a configuration step instead of using one fixed output. The follow-up v4.9.1 added a clearer icon to reduce confusion between the available modes.
This distinction remains visible in current documentation: Adult uses a fixed 720p, eight-second setup, while Standard lets the user choose resolution, duration, and audio. The labels shown in the live Generate screen should be treated as the final source because media controls can change after a release.

Resolution and duration became cost decisions
Standard mode currently lists 480p, 720p, and 1080p, with five-, eight-, or ten-second durations. A longer or higher-resolution clip costs more Moments. That means a video request is no longer one purchase with one predictable price; the selected configuration determines the charge.
Use the source-image, motion, duration, resolution, and audio workflow before confirming a generation. The best setting is the lowest configuration that can answer the actual use case, not automatically the largest output.
Audio is optional and changes the cost
The current Video Generation page says enabling audio in Standard mode doubles the Moment cost for the same duration and resolution. Audio can include speech lip sync, ambient sound, action sound, or background music, but a valid video does not necessarily contain every requested sound.
When budgeting, the distinction between monthly grants and purchased Moments helps explain why two users with the same visible balance may face different renewal behavior.
Current prices should replace launch-era examples
The launch note said Standard started at 140 Moments for a five-second 480p clip without audio. The current documentation lists that combination at 133 Moments and provides a full matrix for other settings. This shows why release history should not be presented as a permanent price sheet.
Users should verify the final confirmation screen before generating. A release note records what changed on a date; it does not freeze pricing or feature availability.
A stronger configuration cannot repair a weak source image
Video generation animates an existing generated image. Identity drift, malformed anatomy, or a pose that conflicts with the requested movement can carry into the clip. The current guidance recommends describing movement rather than repeating static details, using clear intensity words, and keeping the action consistent with the source image.
A short comparison run with simple motion is an editorial precaution that can reveal whether the source image or the instruction is causing the problem. It is not an official repair method.
Choose the next step by the actual result
- Use the checks for a video job that remains in processing when no completed clip appears.
- Use the checks for a completed video with missing or incorrect audio when the clip finishes but the sound is wrong.
- Review the selected duration, resolution, audio state, and balance before repeating a paid request.
