How it works

How to generate with Veo 3.1 Lite

  1. Open the AI Studio

    Open AI Studio from the editor and choose Veo 3.1 Lite. What it generates lands in the project you are already working in.

  2. Pick Veo 3.1 Lite 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.

  3. Balance it against your voice

    Veo 3.1 Lite 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 Lite is for

Veo 3.1 Lite is a text-to-video model from Google DeepMind, available in REQO's AI Studio. Clips run 4s, 6s or 8s, with a soundtrack generated alongside the picture, and it sits in the balanced tier at 4 credits for its shortest clip.

Against the 18 other text-to-video models in the studio it is the 4th-cheapest to run and comes back 3rd quickest, at 4 credits and about 60 seconds a generation.

In the picker it is described as: Veo family, a fraction of the cost.

What a Veo 3.1 Lite clip costs

A Veo 3.1 Lite clip runs from 4 credits (4s at 720p) to 13 (8s at 1080p). Resolution is part of the price, so pick it with the length. These are the figures the studio charges, shown again before each generation.

When to pick Veo 3.1 Lite

The clip you need fits inside 4s, 6s or 8s, and you can wait about 60s for it.

You need 16:9 or 9:16, which it accepts natively rather than by cropping afterwards.

You want sound generated with the picture instead of added on the timeline.

Where it runs out: Clips stop at 8s; Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro goes to 10s if you need one shot to run longer. Resolutions are limited to 720p or 1080p, and the higher ones cost more credits. At 4 credits it is not the cheap option: PixVerse V6 runs at 3. Nor the quickest: Hailuo 2.3 answers in about 35s against this one's 60s.

What to weigh Veo 3.1 Lite against

These are the 5 models closest to Veo 3.1 Lite on price, render time and clip length - the ones worth weighing it against. Every model REQO offers is linked below.

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 Lite result lands next to your screen recordings and uploads, about 60 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.

FAQ

Veo 3.1 Lite: questions

How much does Veo 3.1 Lite cost?

From 4 credits (4s at 720p) to 13 (8s at 1080p), 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 Lite 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 Lite support?

16:9, 9:16, at 720p, 1080p. Anything else is a crop afterwards, which the free crop tool handles.

Does Veo 3.1 Lite generate audio?

Yes, it produces a soundtrack alongside the picture, inside the 4 credits the clip already costs. You can still add music or a voiceover on the timeline.

How long does a generation take?

Usually about 60 seconds for the 4-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.
