How to generate with Veo 3.1 Fast
Open the AI Studio
Open AI Studio from the editor and choose Veo 3.1 Fast. What it generates lands in the project you are already working in.
Pick Veo 3.1 Fast and describe the shot
Choose the model, set length and aspect ratio within what it accepts (4s, 6s or 8s, 16:9, 9:16), then write the prompt.
Balance it against your voice
Veo 3.1 Fast generates its own audio, so the clip arrives with sound. Drop it on the timeline, cut it to the beat you want, and lower its track under your recording so the two are not competing.
What Veo 3.1 Fast is for
Veo 3.1 Fast is the cheaper, quicker sibling of Veo 3.1. Same family, same native audio, noticeably less cost per clip.
The sensible workflow is to draft on Fast until the prompt is right, then run the final version through full Veo 3.1 if the extra fidelity earns its place.
In the picker it is described as: Veo quality at lower cost.

They all run on the same timeline, so the choice is per clip rather than per project: generate an establishing shot with one and a quick filler with another, then cut them together in the same tab. Credit costs are each model’s cheapest clip, its shortest length at its cheapest resolution; longer clips cost more.

Generating is the easy half
Most generators hand you a clip and stop, which leaves you downloading files and re-uploading them somewhere else to make anything of them.
In REQO the Veo 3.1 Fast result lands next to your screen recordings and uploads, about 80 seconds after you describe the shot. Pick the aspect ratio before you generate (16:9, 9:16); afterwards it is a crop.
The AI Studio (talking avatars, text-to-video and AI images) and the AI clip tools (background removal, chroma key, face touch-up, noise cancellation, auto cleanup, auto b-roll, auto-zoom) are Pro features. Generation includes 100 credits a month plus top-ups.
Veo 3.1 Fast: questions
How much does Veo 3.1 Fast cost?
From 12 credits (4s at 720p) to 57 (8s at 4k), and the studio shows the exact figure for the length and resolution you pick before it charges you. AI Studio is part of Pro.
How long can a Veo 3.1 Fast clip be?
4s, 6s or 8s. That is a hard limit of the model, not a plan limit - a longer piece is several generations laid end to end.
What aspect ratios does Veo 3.1 Fast support?
16:9, 9:16, at 720p, 1080p, 4k. Anything else is a crop afterwards, which the free crop tool handles.
Does Veo 3.1 Fast generate audio?
Yes, it produces a soundtrack alongside the picture, inside the 12 credits the clip already costs. You can still add music or a voiceover on the timeline.
How long does a generation take?
Usually about 80 seconds for the 12-credit shortest clip; longer clips and higher resolutions take proportionally longer. Generations keep running if you switch tabs.
Can I edit the generated clip?
Yes, and on the same timeline as everything else. A 4s, 6s or 8s clip is usually one shot, so generate the two or three you need and cut them in sequence. Captions come off the transcript, and the finished piece exports or shares as one link.
