Veo 3.1
by Google
Google's cinematic video model, with sound generated in the same pass.
Veo 3.1 is Google's flagship video model. Its signature is native audio: ambient sound, effects and speech are generated together with the picture, so a clip arrives ready to post rather than silent. Output is 720p or 1080p in 4, 6 or 8-second lengths, from a text prompt or a first/last frame.
It is priced at a flat per-second rate regardless of resolution, which makes 1080p the obvious choice. Reach for it when the clip needs to feel like a finished piece of film — lifestyle scenes, brand moments, anything with atmosphere.
