Veo 3.1 AI Video Generator

Veo 3.1 responds best to a prompt that reads like a shot description. Start with the subject and what it does, then add where it happens, how the camera moves, what the light looks like and what we hear. A prompt such as "a barista pours latte art in a sunlit café, slow push-in at counter height, warm morning light, soft chatter and the hiss of the steam wand" gives Veo a subject, a setting, a camera, a look and a soundscape in one sentence.

Keep one main action per clip. Veo produces a single continuous shot, so a prompt that asks for three scenes usually blends them into one confused scene. If you need a sequence, generate each shot as its own Veo clip and join them in the AI video editor, or let the video agent plan and generate the shots for you.

You have up to 5,000 characters. Most good Veo prompts use far fewer; the extra room is there for dialogue lines, brand rules or a precise description of a product that has to look right.

All three variants are Veo and take the same inputs. Lite is the cheapest and suits drafts, prompt tests and high volume social clips. Fast is the default in the generator because it balances price and detail for most work. Quality costs the most and is meant for the clip you will actually publish, such as a hero shot on a landing page or the opening of an ad.

A practical workflow is to iterate on the prompt with Veo Lite at 720p, then render the final version with Veo Fast or Quality at a higher resolution once the framing, motion and sound are right. The price table above lists every variant and resolution, so you can see what the final render will cost before you start drafting.

Frames are the strongest control Veo offers on AgentReel. With one image, Veo starts the clip exactly on your picture and animates forward. With two images, it starts on the first and ends on the last, so you decide both the opening and the closing composition.

Use frames with the same aspect ratio you choose for the clip, keep the subject in a similar position in both images, and describe the motion that connects them in the prompt. If the two frames are very different, Veo has to invent a large transition and the result is less predictable. You can create matching frames in the AI image generator and clean them up with the free image tools before you upload them.

Veo 3.1 is priced per clip. The variant and the resolution set the price, and on AgentReel it runs from 8 to 93 credits. There is no duration setting, so a longer prompt or a busier scene does not change the price; only the variant and resolution do.

Credits come from a credit plan or credit pack. The free credits new accounts receive cover Z-Image, video templates and Code to Video, not Veo, so you need paid credits to generate with it. The Generate button always shows the exact price, and a task that fails is refunded. For the details of how credits work, read the credits and pricing guide.

Veo 3.1 is a strong choice when you want sound in the clip, a 16:9 or 9:16 frame and a resolution up to 4K. If you need a square or a 21:9 frame, a specific clip length or pricing by the second, look at the comparison table on this page: Kling 3.0 adds a duration setting and an audio switch, Seedance 2.5 and MiniMax H3 offer more aspect ratios, and Wan 3.0 costs less than either Seedance model at every resolution. Google's other 4K option, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, lets you pick a length from 4 to 10 seconds.

Every model on AgentReel sits in the same AI video generator, so trying the same prompt on Veo and on another model is just a change in the model menu. The model overview lists them all with their prices.
