Slopcannon draws attention: from a song and reference images to an editable music video

A Business Insider article dated October 3 featured the AI music video tool Slopcannon. This is a story about individuals creating video with AI, rather than a new model announcement.

According to its official site, users can provide a song, reference images, and an idea, then consult the AI Producer to build a scene plan with timings. After generating each scene, they can remake only the parts they want to change, then edit and export the selected shots to the original song. The official feature guide was published on September 29.

Video API price comparison updated: the same model can cost different amounts through different providers

The price comparison site AI Video APIs updated its table on October 4. It compares publicly listed prices with matching model names and output conditions; it is not an announcement of price increases or reductions.

The site's compilation lists Veo 3.1 Fast at 720p with audio at $0.0375–$0.15 per second. Google's official price list, meanwhile, gives $0.10 per second under the same conditions. The comparison site's range collects listed prices from different providers; it is not the result of our editorial team testing actual bills or outputs across all services.

The site also explicitly states that listed prices do not guarantee generation success rates, speed, or image quality. Some prices update automatically, but the table does not represent every provider being checked on the same day.

[Reference] Checking Runway pricing: annual billing displays and generation allowances

This is a summary of the official price list checked on October 5, not news of a new pricing change. Runway Standard is listed at $15 when billed monthly, or an equivalent $12 per month when billed annually. Pro is $35 when billed monthly, or an equivalent $28 per month when billed annually.

Standard includes 625 credits per month, while Pro includes 2,250. The official conversion example equates Standard's allowance to approximately 52 seconds of Gen-4.5 generation. The free plan's 125 credits are described as a one-time allowance, not a monthly grant.
