Video templates
Billing rule: You are charged by the minute based on the duration and resolution of videos that are processed using advanced templates. Durations of less than one minute are accumulated.
Billing cycle: Bills are generated on an hourly basis. In each billing cycle, Alibaba Cloud measures your service usage from the previous hour and generates a bill. The actual bill generation time is determined by the system.

Billing example
Assume that you use an advanced template to process one video file in the Chinese mainland region between 08:00 and 09:00. The video is 4 minutes and 30 seconds long and has a 1080p resolution. The total duration of advanced template usage is 4 × 60 + 30 = 270 seconds. The cost is (270 / 60) × 1.5 = CNY 6.75.
