Veo 3.1 AI video generator: VEO 3.1 Fast and Lite, short clips with sound
Veo 3.1 is Google’s current video model. Viralance runs two of its tiers: VEO 3.1 Fast, which completed 98% of real user generations, and VEO 3.1 Lite, the lowest-priced Veo, from 3 credits for 4 seconds with sound. Both make 4 / 6 / 8s clips at 720p / 1080p.
Opens the studio with VEO 3.1 Fast selected; the cost shows before you generate. Viralance is an independent platform, not affiliated with Google DeepMind.
What VEO 3.1 does
Veo 3.1 generates short clips with audio from the same model pass: lines of dialogue in quotes are spoken with lip movement, and footsteps, music or room tone follow the scene. It is strongest at realistic people, products and light.
On Viralance, VEO 3.1 Fast renders 720p and 1080p for the same credits and adds Reference mode (up to 3 images of one person or product). VEO 3.1 Lite keeps the audio and both resolutions at roughly half the price, which makes it the usual first pass.
Reliability is the other reason people choose it: 98% of 149 VEO 3.1 Fast runs and 92% of 1002 VEO 3.1 Lite runs completed in our data, with median waits of 2.3 min and 2 min.

VEO 3.1 vs VEO 3 Fast
VEO 3 Fast was the version Viralance ran before 3.1. It was retired on October 1, 2026 and replaced by VEO 3.1 Fast at the same price.
| Aspect | VEO 3 Fast | VEO 3.1 |
|---|---|---|
| Status on Viralance | Retired October 1, 2026 | Live: Fast and Lite |
| Lengths | 4 / 6 / 8s | 4 / 6 / 8s |
| Reference images | No | Up to 3 on VEO 3.1 Fast |
| Low-cost tier | No | VEO 3.1 Lite, from 3 credits |
| Credits, 8 seconds | Same as 3.1 Fast | Fast 12, Lite 5 (720p) |
Google also sells a higher “Quality” tier of Veo 3.1, which Viralance does not offer; the Veo 3.1 Fast vs Quality answer compares all three tiers with Google’s own prices. A finished clip of 8 seconds or less can be extended once by 7 seconds for 14 credits.
Prompt tips for VEO 3.1
Quote the dialogue
Write spoken words in quotation marks and say who speaks: a woman at the counter says "Two coffees, please". Keep a line under about 20 words for an 8-second clip.
Say "no music" when you want clean audio
Veo often adds a score. For a UGC ad or a voiceover you will add later, write "no background music, only room sound".
Describe the light, not just the subject
Veo responds strongly to lighting words: "overcast window light", "low golden sun behind her", "fluorescent office light". It is the quickest way to change the mood.
Test on Lite, keep the seed of the idea
Run the prompt on VEO 3.1 Lite at 4 seconds (3 credits). When the framing works, render 8 seconds on VEO 3.1 Fast (12) for the final.

VEO 3.1 questions
How much does Veo 3.1 cost per video on Viralance?
VEO 3.1 Fast: 6, 8 or 12 credits for 4, 6 or 8 seconds, the same at 1080p. VEO 3.1 Lite: 3, 4 or 5 at 720p and 4, 6 or 8 at 1080p. An 8-second Lite clip is about $1.50 on the Mini pack ($9).
What is the difference between Veo 3 and Veo 3.1?
Veo 3.1 is the newer release of the same model line. On Viralance it replaced VEO 3 Fast on October 1, 2026 at the same price, added Reference mode (up to 3 images on VEO 3.1 Fast) and a lower-cost Lite tier.
Veo 3.1 Fast or Veo 3.1 Lite?
Lite for testing ideas and for clips where cost matters most; Fast for the final render, for Reference mode, and where reliability matters (98% completed against 92% for Lite in our data). Both generate audio.
Can Veo 3.1 make videos longer than 8 seconds?
Not in one generation. Extend a finished clip once by 7 seconds, or join shots in Film Studio. For one take up to 30 seconds use Kling 4.0.
Is Viralance an official Google Veo site?
No. Viralance is an independent platform that runs Google’s Veo 3.1 through hosted model APIs and bills per clip. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
Can I use Veo 3.1 clips commercially?
Yes. Clips you generate are yours to use commercially. Clips made before your first purchase carry a small Viralance watermark, which any credit pack removes from past and future clips.
