Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of videos can Veo 3.1 Lite generate?

Veo 3.1 Lite generates high-fidelity cinematic video from natural language descriptions. It excels at scenic landscapes, atmospheric shots, character interactions, and dynamic camera movements in both landscape and portrait formats.

What is the difference between 720p and 1080p?

720p delivers good quality for drafts and social media. 1080p provides higher detail and sharper visuals, ideal for final production and larger screens. 1080p costs approximately 1.6× more per second.

How do I write effective prompts?

Be specific about camera angle, lighting style, subject behavior, and atmosphere. For example: 'A slow cinematic dolly shot through a dimly lit corridor, warm amber light casting long shadows, dust particles floating in the air.' Longer, descriptive prompts tend to produce better results.

What does the negative prompt do?

The negative prompt lets you specify elements to exclude from the generated video — such as 'blurry, watermark, text overlay, low quality'. This helps refine the output and avoid common artifacts.

What durations are supported?

You can generate clips of 4, 6, or 8 seconds. Shorter clips cost less and are great for quick iterations, while 8-second clips work well for complete scenes.
