model
enum<string>

Unique ID of the video. Use it with the Get video Project API to fetch status and downloads.

The amount of credits deducted from your account to generate the video. If the status is not 'complete', this value is an estimate and may be adjusted upon completion based on the actual FPS of the output video.

Example:

450
