Veo 3.1 T2V and first-last are both 64 credits, native audio, 4K, 4/6/8s. T2V takes a sentence; first-last takes two frames.
Veo inside Shorts is a generate surface. It is not captions, not a catalog, not a second family. Keep Veo. Do not live in the Remix button.
Grok Imagine Video starts at 24 credits, up to 30s at 720p. Veo 3.1 starts at 64 credits for 4/6/8s 4K. Length versus resolution and dialogue.
VEO 3.1 Reference to Video is 8 seconds only, 128 credits silent or 256 with native audio, up to 3 stills. The stack is not a surcharge.
Veo extend is 7s at 720p, not Omni’s 40s chain. Extend a keeper, or generate new, or storyboard.
Extend only if the last frame is already the keeper. A new idea is a new generate, not more seconds of a miss.
Veo 3.1 is the dialogue row in this catalog: native audio, 4/6/8s, 4K. Do not send a spoken line to silent Turbo.
Pick Veo R2V when the stills are the brief. Pick I2V when the plate is frame one. The stack is not a first frame.
AI video in September 2026: Seedance, Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1 and Gemini Omni Flash lead, audio is native, and Sora's API shut on 24 September. Updated 24 Oct.
Sora timestamp blocks, 20-second duration, and audio dumped into one paragraph break on Veo 3.1, Seedance, and Kling. Rewrite for the row you actually run.
Veo 3.1 replaces Sora 2 on native audio, 4/6/8s clips and 4K. Rewrite Sora prose as timestamp blocks.
Artlist hosts Veo 3.1 and Sora 2. Quality follows the weights; access, caps, and API survival do not.
Three different 30-second stories: Grok Imagine Video is a 30s menu at 7cr / 720p with native audio; Seedance 2.5 is a 30s single pass at 47cr / 720p with native audio; Veo 3.1 extend is a 7s 720p continuation at 40cr, not a 30s generate.
A storyboard is cells, not a paragraph. One cell, one generate, one duration the catalog actually sells — then stitch. Asking Veo 3.1 for five setups in eight seconds is how the board gets thrown away.
Veo 3.1 is 4 / 6 / 8s, 4K, 40 credits, native audio. A 30-second product demo is Seedance 2.5 at 47 credits / 720p, or Grok Imagine Video at 7 credits with a 30s menu — not a longer Veo prompt.
A 'Google video models' search that only lists VEO is missing stills, multimodal generate and speech on the same hub.
On Veo 3.1 the audio toggle replaces the silent rate for every second; attaching a separate VO is additive instead of multiplicative.
Adobe's indemnity and Stock-trained pitch apply to native Firefly models. Partner models (Veo 3.1, Kling 3, Runway Gen-4.5) keep their own terms.
Split the slate. One model will not do both.
Omni Flash is #1 on Artificial Analysis T2V-with-audio in Aug 2026. Talking-head ads still want Veo's always-on 48kHz dialogue.
Flow is how Gemini users run Veo. It is not captions, not publishing, not 60 other models.
Seedance on the wall unit. Veo weather is a different ad.
Extension continues. Regen resets. Extend when the last frame is good. Regen when the idea is wrong.
I2V and references: Seedance. Always-on dialogue and 4K: Veo. Multi-shot motion value: Kling. Elo is not the router.
