Google's Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast, in the same prompt box. 4, 6 or 8 seconds, 720p or 1080p, with optional sound.

The Google Veo video generator is DeepMind's video model line, available in Genreel's model picker alongside Kling, Seedance, Sora and Wan. Give it a prompt or a still image and it renders a short clip. Veo's distinguishing feature is the sound switch: with it on, dialogue, ambience and impact are generated in the same pass as the picture, so you do not run a separate audio step.
What that means in practice: Google Veo is the model to pick when the shot has to carry sound and camera work — a line of dialogue, a product reveal with a whoosh, a street scene with traffic behind it. It is a shorter-format model than Kling or Seedance. Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast both stop at 8 seconds, so plan one shot per clip rather than a sequence.
On Genreel you do not need a Google account, an AI Studio key or a waitlist. The Google Veo video generator sits in the same prompt box as every other model here, on the same credit balance. Run your own prompt on Veo 3.1, then on Kling 3.0 or Grok Imagine, and compare the clip instead of someone else's benchmark chart.
Two variants are in the picker. Veo 3.1 accepts a text prompt, a first frame, a last frame and up to three reference images. Veo 3.1 Fast accepts a text prompt, a first frame and a last frame, and it costs less per second. Both offer 720p and 1080p, and the resolution does not change the credit cost.
The Google Veo video generator on this page is the whole workflow. No install, no timeline, no plugins.
Step 1
This page opens on Veo 3.1. Open the model list under the prompt box if you want Veo 3.1 Fast instead. The parameters panel updates to 4, 6 or 8 seconds, 720p or 1080p, and a sound switch. The generate button shows the credit cost before you start.
Step 2
Describe who or what is on screen, the single action, and how the camera moves. Eight seconds is the longest Google Veo clip here, so one action that finishes inside the clip reads better than a sequence. If the sound switch is on, name the audio in the same sentence.
Step 3
Choose 4, 6 or 8 seconds. Switch the aspect ratio to 9:16 before generating if the clip is for a Reel or Short. Leave sound on when the shot needs dialogue or ambience; turn it off when you only need the picture. Sound off is the cheaper render. Resolution does not change the price.
Step 4
Press generate and wait while the clip renders. Preview it in the browser, download the MP4, or change one line of the prompt and run it again. Every result is saved in your account. Failed renders return their credits automatically.
These are the settings the Google Veo video generator offers in the picker today. The generate button is the final word: it shows the live credit cost for the length and the sound switch you have selected.
This page opens on Veo 3.1 at 8 seconds, 1080p, with sound on. That clip is 1,370 credits. The same settings on Veo 3.1 Fast are 520 credits. A 4-second Veo 3.1 Fast clip with sound off is 180 credits, the cheapest Veo render in the picker.
On the Lite yearly plan, 24,000 credits are included and the displayed rate is $0.00445 per credit — about $6.10 for that default Veo 3.1 clip, and about $2.31 for Veo 3.1 Fast at the same 8 seconds with sound. The exact figure depends on the plan, the length and the sound switch. The pricing page lists the current rate.
New accounts receive 40 free credits. That covers one Wan 2.2 Fast clip at 480p for 5 seconds. It does not cover a Google Veo clip. Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast are premium models, and the cost is shown before you generate.

The Google Veo video generator, Sora 2, Kling 3.0 and Grok Imagine can all make a clip from a prompt. They disagree about length, resolution, motion and how sound is billed. Here is the difference in the picker.
For a longer clip with a 4K option, see the Kling AI video generator.
Veo 3.1 and Kling 3.0 treat sound as a switch, and turning it off lowers the credit cost. Grok Imagine and Sora 2 generate audio on every clip, with no switch and no separate charge.
Veo 3.1 is 4, 6 or 8 seconds. Sora 2 is 4, 8 or 12. Grok Imagine runs 1 to 15 seconds. Kling 3.0 goes from 3 to 15, and Seedance 2.5 up to 30. A scene that needs room to play out is not a Veo shot.
Veo 3.1 offers 720p or 1080p, and the resolution does not change the price. Kling 3.0 reaches 1080p with a 4K option, and 4K does cost more. Grok Imagine and Sora 2 top out at 720p.
Veo 3.1 is the model to try when the camera move and the lighting have to read as photographed. Kling 3.0 is stronger on human movement and close-ups. Grok Imagine is built for short shots that play with the sound on.
A default Veo 3.1 clip — 8 seconds, 1080p, sound on — is 1,370 credits. Veo 3.1 Fast at those settings is 520. A 5-second Grok Imagine clip is 160. Draft the idea on Wan 2.2 Fast, where 40 credits buys one 480p, 5-second clip, then spend the Veo credits on the shot that needs the camera work.
Google Veo clips are one shot, eight seconds at most. The prompt has to spend those seconds on camera and light, not on a plot. Five habits that hold up in the generator:
Slow push-in, lateral track, locked-off, low orbit. "Cinematic" tells Google Veo nothing it can act on. One deliberate move fills 8 seconds better than three competing ones.
Where it comes from, and what it hits. Late sun through blinds, a practical lamp on a face, wet asphalt throwing neon back. Veo holds up when the light has a source.
"She turns toward the window and stops" is a shot. "She walks through the market and buys flowers" is two shots, and 8 seconds will not hold both. Finish the action inside the clip.
Only when the sound switch is on. "A glass set down, then room tone" gives the audio pass something specific. If you turn sound off to save credits, leave the audio line out so the prompt matches the render.
Veo 3.1 accepts up to three reference images, plus a first and a last frame. Veo 3.1 Fast does not take reference images. Use the references for the subject or the product, and let the prompt handle the camera.
A pattern that fits this length: "[Framing] of [subject] in [place]. [One action with an ending]. The camera [one move]. [Light]. [Sound, if the switch is on]."
Read the AI video prompt guideThese are shot briefs for the Google Veo video generator, not finished clips. Write one of them into the prompt box above when you want a single photographed-feeling shot with the sound switch on.
A locked-off or slow push-in on one object, with a single whoosh as the light hits it. Eight seconds is enough. Name the surface and the light source, and keep the product still enough that the camera does the work.
A person says a short line and stops. Street noise sits behind the voice, not over it. This is the shot the sound switch is for. Keep the line inside 6 or 8 seconds.
A slow push-in, one turn of the head, no second action. Describe the window as the only source. Veo is a better fit here than a model you would pick for a long take.
A locked-off frame, water gathering and running, and the sound of rain if the switch is on. A 4-second Veo 3.1 Fast draft is enough to see whether the droplets read before you spend the 8-second render.
No. The Google Veo video generator on Genreel is a premium model. New accounts receive 40 free credits after sign-up, and that gift covers one complete clip on Wan 2.2 Fast at 480p for 5 seconds. It does not cover Veo 3.1 or Veo 3.1 Fast.
The cheapest Veo render in the picker is Veo 3.1 Fast at 4 seconds with sound off, which is 180 credits. The page default — Veo 3.1, 8 seconds, 1080p, sound on — is 1,370 credits. There is no separate free Veo tier here, and turning the sound switch off only lowers the price. It does not make the clip free.
Added after sign-up. Enough for one Wan 2.2 Fast clip. A Google Veo clip starts at 180 credits.
Genreel does not stamp a logo on the MP4, including clips made with Veo 3.1 or Veo 3.1 Fast.
Payment details are only needed if you buy credits. The Veo price is shown on the generate button before you start.
What the Google Veo video generator costs, and what the 40 free credits actually cover.
No. On Genreel, Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast are paid in credits. A new account's 40 free credits cover one Wan 2.2 Fast clip at 480p for 5 seconds, not a Veo clip. The cheapest Veo render is Veo 3.1 Fast at 4 seconds with sound off: 180 credits.
Not in this generator. There is no free Veo tier and no unlimited trial. The free credits on a new account run Wan 2.2 Fast. Veo 3.1 Fast is the lower-priced Veo variant, and it still starts at 180 credits.
You cannot run a Google Veo clip on the 40-credit gift. Sign up, spend those credits on Wan 2.2 Fast to learn the prompt box, then buy a credit pack or a plan when you want Veo 3.1 or Veo 3.1 Fast. A credit pack does not require a subscription, and failed renders return their credits.
Yes. Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast turn a written prompt into a 4, 6 or 8 second video at 720p or 1080p. Both also accept a first frame and a last frame. Veo 3.1 additionally accepts up to three reference images. With the sound switch on, the clip includes generated audio.
Veo 3.1 with sound on is 690 credits at 4 seconds, 1,030 at 6 and 1,370 at 8. Veo 3.1 Fast with sound on is 260, 390 and 520 at those lengths. Sound off is cheaper, and resolution does not change the price. The generate button shows the figure for the settings you have selected.
When the sound switch is on, yes. Audio is generated with the video, not added later, and it raises the credit cost. The switch is on by default. Turn it off and Veo 3.1 at 8 seconds drops from 1,370 credits to 690.
