      Billing Details

      Transcoding services are billed daily based on the codec used, the output resolution, and the video duration.
      Billing formula: Video Transcoding Fees = Output Video Duration (minutes) × Unit Price of Transcoding with Different Codecs and Resolutions (USD/minute)
      Each transcoding task is billed only once.
      In case of daily billing, the system counts the total seconds per day. The total seconds of the previous day are converted into minutes for billing, rounded up (If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute).
      In case of monthly billing, the system counts the total seconds per month. On the first day of each month, the total seconds of the previous month are converted into minutes for billing, rounded up (If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute).

      Billing Example

      Suppose you used the general transcoding service in Singapore on January 1 to process the video resources in the COS bucket and generated two videos. One was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px. The other was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 1280 × 640 px. The codec used was H.264. Besides, you generated another video that was 100 minutes long through general audio transcoding.
      For the video with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px and the short side in 2K (short side ≤ 1440px), the corresponding unit price in Singapore is 0.0355 (USD/minute).
      For the video with a resolution of 1280 × 640 px and the short side lower than HD (720px and below) but greater than SD (480px and below), the corresponding unit price in Singapore is 0.0105 (USD/min).
      The unit price for general audio transcoding in Singapore is 0.0019 (USD/min).
      On January 2, the transcoding fee deducted would be as follows: 0.0355 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) + 0.0105 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) + 0.0019 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) = 4.79 (USD).

      Top Speed Codec(TSC) Transcoding

      TSC adopts intelligent dynamic encoding technology, which can achieve higher image quality while reducing the bitrate, with the VMAF value increased by 3 to 5 points.
      Pricing: Fees are calculated by video duration (minutes) after transcoding by the corresponding unit price (USD/min).

      TSC Transcoding - Extreme Compress Strategy

      TSC Transcoding supports Standard Compress and Extreme Compress two compression strategies. Different strategies have different underlying transcoding models, which will affect the bitrate, image quality, and other results.
      Standard compress: It is the standard TSC transcoding, providing three options:
      Low Compress - to ensure image quality
      Medium Compress - for overall optimal
      High Compress - to reduce bitrate
      From top to bottom, the higher the compression degree, the smaller the output video file size, and the greater the image quality loss. For use of any option in this strategy, only the TSC Transcoding Fees will be charged.
      Extreme Compress: It is the "upgraded version" of the standard compression, with the highest compression degree, which can maximize the bitrate compression while ensuring a certain level of image quality, greatly saving bandwidth and storage costs. For use of this strategy, you will be charged for TSC Transcoding + Audio/Video Enhancement - Artifacts Removal .
      Note:
      If the output video needs to be provided for users to watch on TV, it is not recommended to use the extreme compress strategy.
      Billing Example
      Suppose you used the TSC transcoding service in Singapore on January 1 to process the video resources in the COS bucket and used the standard compress (high compress) strategy to transcode a video that was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px at 60fps, and used the extreme compress strategy to transcode a video that was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 × 1440 at 60 fps. The codec used was H.264.
      For the part using the standard compress strategy, only the TSC transcoding fees will be charged. With the video short side of 1440 in 2K (short side ≤ 1440px), the unit price in Singapore is 0.0767 (USD/min).
      For the part using the extreme compress strategy, in addition to the TSC transcoding fees, the Audio and Video Enhancement - Artifacts Removal fees will be charged. The unit price of Artifacts Removal for the 2K and 60fps level is 0.1235 (USD/min).
      On January 2, the transcoding fee deducted would be as follows: 0.0767 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) + 0.0767 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) + 0.1235 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) = 27.69 (USD).

      Billing Details
      Billing rule: Transcoding services are billed daily based on the codec used and the output resolution and video duration.
      Billing formula: Video transcoding fees = Output video duration (minutes) x Unit price (USD/minute)
      Each transcoding task is billed only once. If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute.
      Billing Examples
      Suppose you used the transcoding service in the Mumbai region on January 1 and generated two videos. One was 60 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px. The other was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 1600 x 980. The codec used was H.264. On January 2, the transcoding fee deducted would be as follows: 0.0355 (USD/minute) x 60 (minutes) + 0.023 (USD/minute) x 100 (minutes) = 4.43 USD

      Audio/Video Enhancement

      The industry-leading audio and video AI enhancement algorithm and various business scenario application models comprehensively improve the audio and video quality and support distributed real-time image quality enhancement, including Artifacts Removal, Noise Reduction, Color Enhancement, Detail Enhancement, Face Enhancement, SDR2HDR, and other features.
      Video enhancement is billed according to the duration of the output file. The unit price (USD/min) is the same regardless of the codec.
      Note:
      Audio/Video enhancement is based on transcoding. Therefore, initiating an audio and video enhancement task will incur two charges: audio/video enhancement + audio/video transcoding (general transcoding or TSC transcoding). For details, please refer to the following Billing Example.
      The video enhancement feature is charged according to the [Audio and Video Enhancement (By sub-capabilities)] by default, and fees are calculated according to the sub-capabilities used. If you want to adjust to billing based on the unified [Video Enhancement] regardless of which sub-capabilities are actually used, please contact our business team.

      Billing Details

      Charges are based on the resolution and duration of the video after enhancement.
      Billing formula: Video Enhancement Processing Fee = Output file duration (minutes) × Unit Price of different resolutions (USD/minute).
      For each video enhancement task executed, only one fee is charged.
      In case of daily billing, the system counts the total seconds per day. The total seconds of the previous day are converted into minutes for billing, rounded up (If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute).
      In case of monthly billing, the system counts the total seconds per month. On the first day of each month, the total seconds of the previous month are converted into minutes for billing, rounded up (If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute).

      Billing Example

      Suppose you used the MPS video enhancement service in Singapore on January 1 to process video resources in the COS bucket, and used the comprehensive enhancement capability to generate a video. It was 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px, at 60 fps. The codec used was H.264. Besides, you used the audio enhancement service and enabled the audio beautification feature, and generated another video that was 100 minutes long.
      For the video with a 2K short side (short side ≤ 1440px) and a frame rate of 60, the unit price of the corresponding comprehensive enhancement sub-capability is 1.1287 (USD/minute).
      Video enhancement relies on video transcoding, which incurs an additional video transcoding fee. The unit price for general transcoding for H.264 at 2K (Singapore) is 0.0355 (USD/minute).
      The unit price of audio beautification is 0.0176 (USD/minute).
      Audio enhancement also relies on audio transcoding, which incurs an additional audio transcoding fee. The unit price for general audio transcoding in Singapore is 0.0019 (USD/minute).
      On January 2, the cost you need to pay would be as follows: (1.1287 + 0.0355) (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) + (0.0176 + 0.0019) (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) = 118.37 (USD).

      Billing Details

      Smart Erase service is billed based on the file duration and resolution after using the service. The video specification depends on the resolution range of the video short side.
      Billing formula: Smart Erase Fees = Output Video Duration (minutes) × Unit Price of Resolution Range of Output Video Short Side (USD/minute)
      Each Smart Erase task is billed only once.
      In case of daily billing, the system counts the total seconds per day. The total seconds of the previous day are converted into minutes for billing, rounded up (If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute).
      In case of monthly billing, the system counts the total seconds per month. On the first day of each month, the total seconds of the previous month are converted into minutes for billing, rounded up (If the duration is less than one minute, it will be counted as one minute).

      Billing Example

      Suppose you used the MPS Smart Erase service to process two videos that were 100 minutes long and had a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px and 1280 × 640 px respectively.
      For Smart Erase of the video with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 px and the short side of 1440 px in 2K (short side ≤ 1440px), the unit price is 0.1 (USD/minute).
      For Smart Erase of the video with a resolution of 1280 × 640 px and the short side of 640 px, which is lower than HD (720px and below) but greater than SD (480px and below), the unit price is 0.03 (USD/minute).
      On January 2, the cost you need to pay would be as follows: 0.1 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) + 0.03 (USD/minute) × 100 (minutes) = 13 (USD).
