's standard 720p resolution.
Tradeoffs to know
- The 40-second length is stitched from successive 10-second extensions, not a single native 40-second generation.
- 4K is documented as an upscale step on generated footage; confirm resolution, region, and subscriber-surface availability.
- Video generation cost, latency, and content policies are product-specific; measure the Interactions API path you will ship.
When not to use this
- Not ideal for sprawling research or brittle multi-hop reasoning unless you constrain scope tightly.
- Avoid for regulated or high-stakes outputs without evaluations that mimic your tooling, data, and review process.
- Promote traffic to heavier tiers inside the family when workflows need richer tools and longer horizons.
