About Veo 3.1 Lite

Veo 3.1 Lite is Google's most cost-efficient Veo model, generating high-quality short videos from a text prompt or a first-frame image, with native synchronized audio.

It balances quality and cost for everyday creative and production workflows, with controllable duration, aspect ratio, and resolution.
