Veo 3.1

Cinematic AI video
with native synchronized audio

For marketers who need the clip and its sound in one generation. Veo 3.1 is Google's cinematic video model, integrated directly with the Google API on Viral Engine in three tiers: Standard for the final render, Fast for speed, Lite for drafts. Text-to-video and image-to-video, 4 to 8 seconds, audio included.

200 free credits on signup cover a 5-second Kling 1.6 clip (175 credits); Veo 3.1 Lite is 30 credits per second (120 for a 4-second clip) on any plan. Veo blocks real public figures: for ads with real people, use Kling 3.0.

Three tiers

Pick the Veo 3.1 tier for the job

FINAL RENDER

Standard

240 credits per second (1,920 per 8s clip)

The full model. Cinematic quality, the best prompt adherence on the platform, native audio. The slowest render of the lineup.

  • Best for: hero shots, brand films, dialogue
  • Essential plan: 2 eight-second clips per month

Fast

60 credits per second (480 per 8s clip)

About twice as fast and a quarter of the price of Standard, with the same native audio. The tier for iterating on a concept before the final render.

  • Best for: concept rounds, social cuts
  • Essential plan: 8 eight-second clips per month

Lite

30 credits per second (240 per 8s clip)

The draft tier. Cheapest way to test a prompt, block out a scene or check that the audio direction works before spending on Standard.

  • Best for: prompt tests, storyboards
  • Essential plan: 16 eight-second clips per month

Every tier: text-to-video or image-to-video, 4, 6 or 8 seconds per segment (longer requests are chained automatically), 16:9 or 9:16, audio generated in the same pass.

Why it stands out

What Veo 3.1 does that the others do not

Native synchronized audio

Veo 3.1 generates the video and a matching soundtrack in one pass: ambient audio, effects, music cues and dialogue when you script it. No separate voiceover step, no sync work.

Direct Google API

Viral Engine calls Google's Veo API directly, not a third-party aggregator. New tiers and features arrive as Google ships them.

Cinematic prompt understanding

Veo reads film grammar in prompts: lens, lighting, camera moves, blocking. Write the shot the way a director would brief it and Standard executes it.

Three price points, one model family

Draft on Lite, iterate on Fast, finish on Standard. The prompt carries over, so you only pay full price for the render you keep.

When to pick Veo 3.1

Premium tier, premium use cases

Hero shots and brand films

When the video is the campaign, not just a deliverable. Standard's quality justifies 1,920 credits per 8s clip.

Spots that need synced sound

Ambient audio and effects in the same generation. One render, finished asset.

Dialogue scenes

Veo 3.1 renders characters speaking with synchronized audio. Kling 2.6 and 3.0 do lip-synced dialogue too; pick Veo when the render quality is the point.

For high-volume ad iteration and anything with real people, Kling is the better tool. Use Veo 3.1 when the bar is "is this good enough for the homepage hero?"
