How long does a Percify video take to generate?

A Percify talking avatar usually takes 1 to 3 minutes, and each Replicate a short clip about 1 to 3 minutes. Podcasts and long jobs show an estimate.

It depends on what you’re making. In the Percify app, a talking avatar made in chat usually takes 1 to 3 minutes, and each clip of a Replicate a short remake takes around 1 to 3 minutes. Longer jobs, like podcasts and multi-scene videos, show their own estimate. Many of them keep running if you leave the page.

How long does each feature take?

These are the estimates the app itself shows.

Realtime video	The screen says “Video in seconds, not minutes.”	Not stated
Playground	Depends on the model	Yes, see below

Why do podcasts take longer?

Podcast Studio’s estimate grows with length: roughly 10 to 30 minutes of waiting for every minute of podcast. A 15-second podcast shows about 3 to 8 minutes, and the 3-minute maximum shows about 30 to 90 minutes. The exact range appears in the studio before you generate.

Why does a replica take longer than one clip?

A replica is made one clip at a time, so the total wait grows with the number of shots. Once the first clip is done, the screen estimates the time left.

What if a generation is taking too long?

In the Playground, the app waits 4 minutes for an image or other output, or 10 minutes for a video. If the job is still running after that, a Still rendering message tells you it’s taking longer than usual. Your result appears when it’s ready, and you can leave and come back.

If a Playground job still hasn’t finished after 15 minutes, plus 5 seconds for every second of audio or video you gave it, it’s stopped with the error Generation timed out and your credits are refunded. See Refunds and failed generations.

How can I get results faster?

• Choose Fast for talking videos. On the talking video screen, Fast is described as “quicker render, lower cost”, and High as “sharper render, slower”.
• Keep it short. Podcasts and replicas take longer the more seconds or clips they have.
• Leave long jobs running. Replicas, flows, podcasts and highlights finish without you, so you can do something else meanwhile.

FAQ

Do paid plans generate faster?

No. Jobs aren’t sped up or moved ahead because of your plan. Paid plans add credits.

Will I lose my generation if I close the tab?

Not for the features marked above. They run on Percify’s side and show up when they’re done. Playground results also appear once they finish.

A generation failed instead of finishing. What now?

Most features refund the credits automatically. See Generation failed for common causes.
