Price an animated carousel
plan_carousel_animationFREE quote for turning a FINISHED carousel (its job_id from create_visual — one made today or any older one) into an animated carousel. The owner has already seen the still slides; for each slide they choose a motion: "still" (stays a picture, free), "animate" (the slide moves by itself — steam, light, drifting objects — from its own picture; note says what moves), or "pass_through" (a character crosses the slide from left to right, so swiping carries them across the deck; the first slide starts with them standing, the last ends with them arriving). Slides you leave out stay still. Each moving slide is a short video clip and costs 12 credits; still slides cost nothing. The first animation of a carousel also adds a once-only deck charge: an animated carousel is 15 credits for the deck, and what the carousel already cost counts toward it (deck_credits). Returns the plan and credits — show the owner the price and get their OK, then call animate_carousel with expected_credit_cost = credits. Only Instagram takes video slides in a carousel.
