Questions

1What does a Veo 3.1 Lite clip cost?
80 credits per second of video: a 4-second clip is 320 credits and a 8-second clip is 640. If a run fails, the credits go back to your balance; runs stopped by the model's safety filter are refunded up to 10 times a day.
2Which lengths, sizes and frames does Veo 3.1 Lite take?
Clips of 4, 6 or 8 seconds, in 16:9 or 9:16. You can add a start frame, or a start and an end frame (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 12 MB each), and Veo 3.1 Lite animates between them; without frames it works from text.
3Can I use what I make with Veo 3.1 Lite in paid work?
Yes, when you made it on a paid plan or after buying credits. Results made only with the free sign-up credits are for personal, non-commercial use. Anything you upload must be yours to use, and people shown in it must have agreed.
