FAQ: Adaptive bitrate streaming billing
How is the cost of adaptive bitrate streaming calculated?
The cost is based on the number of resolution options and the duration of the video. Each resolution is billed separately.
- Each 10 seconds of video requires 20 operations.
- The duration is rounded up to the nearest 10 seconds.
For example, a 52-second video with three resolutions (360p, 720p, 1080p) requires: (6 × 20 operations) × 3 resolutions = 360 operations
What resolution options are available for videos?
There are three resolution options: 360p, 720p, and 1080p.
- The resolution is based on the smaller side of the video.
- Videos are never upscaled; if the original video is 900p, the highest resolution will remain 900p.
- If the original video is smaller than 720p or 1080p, those resolutions will not be created.
What happens if my video’s duration doesn’t align with 10-second intervals?
Video durations are rounded up to the nearest 10-second increment. For instance:
- A 52-second video is rounded up to 60 seconds.
- Billing is then calculated based on this rounded duration.
Are all resolution options always generated?
No, the resolution options depend on the original video’s quality:
- If the original video is smaller than a resolution option (e.g., 720p or 1080p), those resolutions are not generated. This ensures no unnecessary upscaling in processing.
