fix: increase VideoGen timeout to 6 minutes for GPU cold starts

Video generation on RunPod can take significant time:
- GPU cold start: 30-120 seconds
- Model loading: 30-60 seconds
- Generation: 60-180 seconds

Increased polling timeout from 4 to 6 minutes and updated UI
to set proper expectations for users.
