# Chronos

### Model Overview

**Chronos** delivers high-quality frame interpolation for more challenging frame rate conversions and slow motion. It is well suited for linear and layered motion, producing precise, natural results across a wide range of footage types.

**Chronos Fast** variant prioritizes processing speed over maximum precision, offering a practical option for longer sequences or time-sensitive workflows.

### Key Capabilities

* Precise interpolation for slow motion and FPS conversion
* Handles more challenging motion than basic models
* **Fast** variant available for speed-focused workflows

### Pricing

Chronos costs 2 credits per new GP generated. Chronos Fast costs 1 credit per new GP generated.

| Slow-Mo | 1080p | 4k |
| ------- | ----- | -- |
| **2x**  | 1     | 5  |
| **4x**  | 4     | 15 |
| **8x**  | 9     | 35 |
| **16x** | 19    | 75 |

{% hint style="info" %}
The above pricing is for our "Quality" models. "Fast" models are priced at roughly 50% of the "Quality" models for common output resolutions and durations.

Note that these estimates are calculated for 10s 30fps.
