What it is
Each CHAMELAION feature consumes a predictable amount of tokens. Video and audio features are billed by time, and text features are billed by character. Use the quick table, then see the examples to estimate your run.
Token rates
Feature | Token use |
Video translation | 12,000 tokens per minute, or 200 tokens per second |
Lip-sync | 12,000 tokens per minute, or 200 tokens per second |
Text-to-Speech | 3,000 tokens per 1,000 characters equals three tokens per character |
Text translation | 1,000 tokens per 1,000 characters equals one token per character |
Audio transcription | 600 tokens per minute, or 10 tokens per second |
Notes
For the most up-to-date information on our prices and token consumption, check out our pricing page🤝.
Charges apply per language. One minute translated into three languages counts as three minutes for billing.
Lip-sync is an add-on; enable it on top of video translation.
Regenerations in the Dubbing Studio consume tokens again, only for the seconds you regenerate.
Fast formulas
Video translation, tokens =
duration in seconds × 200 × number of target languagesLip-sync, tokens =
duration in seconds × 200 × number of target languagesText translation, tokens =
characters × 1Text-to-Speech, tokens =
characters × 3Audio transcription, tokens =
duration in seconds × 10
Examples
A. Full run, 3 min video, two languages, Lip-sync on
Translation, 3 × 12,000 × 2 = 72,000 tokens
Lip-sync, 3 × 12,000 × 2 = 72,000 tokens
Total, 144,000 tokens
B. Segment regeneration, 12 seconds, one language
Translation only, 12 × 200 = 2,400 tokens
If you tick Lip-Sync when you click Generate, it is applied to the entire video, not just the edited section.
For a 10-minute video, Lip-Sync adds 10 × 12,000 = 120,000 tokens per language.
C. Text translation, 2,500 characters
2,500 × 1 = 2,500 tokens
D. Text-to-Speech for a script, 8,000 characters
8,000 × 3 = 24,000 tokens
E. Audio transcription, 10-minute podcast
10 × 600 = 6,000 tokens
Good to know
Features inside team projects use the project creator’s tokens for any paid action in that project.
Text tools are character-based, while video and audio tools are time-based, making mixed workflows easier to estimate.
Your euro price per minute depends on your plan; the token rates above stay the same. See the Plans page for pricing.
