Veo 3.1 AI Video Generator
What is Veo 3.1?
Veo is Google DeepMind's video model that turns text or images into short video with sound in the output. It handles cinematic motion, natural camera movement, and matching audio in a single generation, so a clip comes back closer to finished than a silent render. Beyond text-to-video, Veo accepts first and last frames plus one to three image references, which lets you fix the start, the end, or the look instead of re-rolling a prompt. Output runs 720p, 1080p, or 4K at 4, 6, or 8 seconds, in 16:9 or 9:16. On Kavel, Veo runs through the KIE runtime across Lite and Fast tiers, the credit estimate updates before you commit, and failed generations are never charged. Because sound arrives in the same render, a short scene that would normally need a separate audio pass and an editing suite comes back closer to finished, ready to drop into a reel or a rough cut.
Text-to-video turns a written description into a moving shot with sound, matching motion to the scene you describe.
First and last frames plus one to three image references let you steer the start, end, and look of the clip.
Lite and Fast tiers trade cost and speed, so you can draft cheaply and step up only when a clip is worth it.

How Veo video generation works
Choose an input method, set resolution, aspect ratio, and length, and the credit estimate updates before you generate.
What Veo can make
Cinematic video with sound, from text or from a reference frame. Real examples. Every clip here began as text or a single reference frame.
Cinematic scene
When Veo 3.1 is the right pick
Reach for Veo when you want cinematic motion and sound in one generation, and when a first or last frame should anchor the shot. The Lite and Fast tiers keep drafting affordable while the higher-resolution output covers the final cut. For teams that iterate, that means a cheap first pass to lock the framing and motion, then a single higher-resolution render once the shot is right, with the credit cost visible at every step so a review never turns into a surprise bill.
Audio in the output
Clips come back with sound, so a scene needs no separate audio pass unless the content is sensitive.
Frames and image references
First and last frames plus up to three image references anchor the start, end, and look of the shot.
Lite and Fast tiers
Pick a lower-cost tier to draft, then step up when a clip is worth the higher resolution.

Where Veo shines
From cinematic shots to vertical social clips, here is where the model earns its place in a workflow.
Cinematic & story
Generate film-style shots with natural camera movement and sound for a scene, a trailer, or a mood piece, without booking a crew or a location.
Social & vertical
Make 9:16 clips for reels and shorts, with audio already in the file and nothing to add in post.
Ads & product
Turn a key frame into a short, polished clip for a campaign or product listing, with sound already in the file and no editing suite required.
Concept & previz
Pin a first and last frame to preview a shot before a real shoot, so a director or client can react to motion and timing instead of a static board.

Veo FAQ
Common questions about the Veo AI video generator.
Veo is Google DeepMind's video model that turns text or images into short video with sound. It supports first and last frames plus one to three image references. Output runs 720p–4K at 4, 6, or 8 seconds.
Yes. Sound is included in the output, so most clips come back with matching audio. Audio is suppressed only for sensitive scenes.
Credits depend on the tier and resolution. Lite at 1080p is about 34 credits, for example. The estimate shows before you generate, and failed generations are free.
Yes. Pass a first or last frame, or one to three image references, and the model generates a moving clip from them. Reference generation runs at 8 seconds.
Lite and Fast are cost-and-speed tiers of the same model. Use a lower tier to draft cheaply, then step up when a clip is worth the higher resolution.
Describe the subject, motion, camera work, and mood in detail. Pinning a first or last frame keeps the shot on track from start to finish.
