Straight answers

What is Veo 3.1 Lite?

Veo 3.1 Lite is the low cost tier of Google's Veo 3.1 family. It generates 4, 6 or 8 second clips at 720p or 1080p, in 16:9 or 9:16, from text or a start and end frame, with optional sound. On APImage an 8 second clip costs 40 credits silent and 67 with sound at 720p, or 67 and 107 at 1080p. It exists for iteration: try the idea in Lite, and render the version that works on Veo 3.1 Fast or Veo 3.1.

How much does Veo 3.1 Lite cost?

8 seconds is 40 credits silent or 67 with sound at 720p, and 67 silent or 107 with sound at 1080p.

Does Veo 3.1 Lite go to 4K?

No, it stops at 1080p. Veo 3.1 Fast and Veo 3.1 render 4K.

Can I reuse my Lite prompt on Veo 3.1?

Yes. The family shares a prompt format, so the prompt and frames move across unchanged.

How do I use it?

Open the video studio and pick Veo 3.1 Lite. Write the shot and switch sound on if you want to hear it. Generate a few takes, adjusting the prompt between them. Move the winning prompt to Veo 3.1 Fast or Veo 3.1 for the final.
