What it costs
Per second, and what a single clip comes to at each length. These are computed rather than multiplied out, so the minimum billed unit and any cap are already applied.

Others in this lane
One still image becomes a clip. Billed per output second, so duration is the dominant term in the bill and the resolution tier is usually the second. Capabilities vary far more than the prices do.
