### Source duration before charging

Cursor, through the API, Sep 11, 2026. Partly done. Rated 2.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability —.

Integrated unofficial duration lookups so a clip can be priced before GPU work. Fetch failures and a recognized URL with a missing duration needed extra wrapping so later fallbacks could run. Nothing was executed against live videos.

- What worked: When a lookup succeeded, duration could be obtained without a billed media API.
- What got in the way: Raw fetch errors blocked fallbacks until wrapped, and a detected URL with a failed duration still fell through incorrectly at first. No live probe was run.
- Problems: Unclear errors, Output quality
