Features
Veo 3.1 Lite Features
Direct a short Lite run from text or reference frames, then decide whether the first result needs generated sound.
Directed Short Scenes on Lite
Veo 3.1 Lite turns one natural-language shot brief into a 4, 6, or 8 second video. Describe the subject, action, camera path, lighting, and pace in one focused prompt, then use the negative prompt to exclude visible elements that would undermine the shot. This makes the Lite page useful for testing campaign openings, storyboard motion, and product concepts before committing to another variation.
Direct a Lite sceneFirst- and Last-Frame Transitions
The current Veo 3.1 Lite image-to-video workflow accepts a starting image and an optional ending image. Use the first frame to anchor the subject and composition, then add the last frame only when the motion needs a defined destination. The prompt should describe the transition between them rather than restating either image.
Animate between framesOptional Native Audio in Lite Runs
Veo 3.1 Lite can return generated sound with the video on the current page. Keep audio enabled when ambience, effects, or dialogue need to be reviewed with the motion, or disable it for a silent visual test. Writing visual direction and audio cues as separate sentences makes both parts of the Lite prompt easier to refine.
Generate with audioHow to use
How to Use Veo 3.1 Lite
Choose text or image input, direct one clear shot, then set duration, framing, resolution, and audio before reviewing the complete result.
Choose the Visual Starting Point
Use text-to-video when the scene begins as a written concept. Choose image-to-video when an approved first frame should anchor the subject and composition, and add a second image only when the ending also needs direction.
Direct One Complete Shot
Describe the subject, action, environment, lighting, camera movement, and pace. Add sound effects, ambience, or dialogue in separate sentences when audio matters to the result.
Match the Delivery Format
Select 16:9 or 9:16, a 4, 6, or 8 second duration, 720p or 1080p, and whether to generate audio. The workbench updates the credit estimate before the run is submitted.
Review Motion, Framing, and Sound
Check whether the action follows the prompt, the source image remains recognizable, the framing holds, and the audio supports the picture. Change one instruction or output setting at a time when refining the next run.
Who it's for
Who Should Use Veo 3.1 Lite
Creators and teams that need short, directed video from prompts or approved still images.
Filmmakers & Previsualization Teams
Turn shot briefs, storyboard frames, and concept art into camera tests, scene transitions, and short animatics. Prompt-led camera direction and optional first and last frames help teams review movement before scheduling production or editing a longer sequence.
Marketing & Brand Teams
Create product reveals, campaign teasers, paid-social openings, and brand mood clips from a prompt or approved still. Landscape and vertical framing, controlled duration, and optional audio make each concept easier to review in its intended placement.
Social Video Creators
Develop Reels, Shorts, story transitions, creator intros, and feed-ready motion clips within a defined 4, 6, or 8 second structure. Use 9:16 for vertical delivery and add audio cues when the first pass needs atmosphere, effects, or dialogue.
Designers & Image-Led Creators
Animate posters, character illustrations, environment art, and product stills without abandoning the approved starting composition. A first image anchors the shot, while an optional ending image gives transitions and reveals a clearer destination.

FAQ
Veo 3.1 Lite FAQ
Text and image workflows, first and last frames, native audio, output settings, pricing, and when to compare Standard.
- What is Veo 3.1 Lite?
- Veo 3.1 Lite is a video generation model in the Veo 3.1 family. The current Epochal page supports short text-to-video and image-to-video generation with optional native audio, landscape or vertical framing, and 720p or 1080p output.
- What can I use as input for Veo 3.1 Lite?
- Use text-to-video when you want to create a shot from a written prompt. Use image-to-video when a starting image should anchor the composition; you can also add an optional ending image to guide where the shot finishes.
- Can Veo 3.1 Lite generate audio?
- Yes. Generated audio is optional on the current page. Prompts can describe sound effects, ambient noise, or dialogue, and you can turn audio off when you only need to test motion and composition.
- Which Veo 3.1 Lite output settings are available?
- Choose 16:9 or 9:16, a 4, 6, or 8 second duration, and 720p or 1080p output. The current workbench also includes generated-audio control and a negative prompt.
- How much does Veo 3.1 Lite cost?
- Veo 3.1 Lite pricing depends on duration, resolution, and generated audio. Under the current formula, a run ranges from 36 credits for 4 seconds at 720p without audio to 192 credits for 8 seconds at 1080p with audio; the exact amount appears before generation.
- When should I compare Veo 3.1 Lite with Standard?
- Compare the Standard page when you specifically want to test the Standard model edition and its higher-cost processing path. Use a small set of matched prompts or reference images to judge the two editions for your own subject, motion, framing, and audio requirements rather than assuming one edition is always the better fit.
