How to choose between Veo 3.1, Fast and Lite
Quality or speed
Use Veo 3.1 for the shot that ends up in the ad, Veo 3.1 Fast while you iterate, and Veo 3.1 Lite to test hooks and prompts in volume.
Resolution
Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast go up to 4K; Lite stops at 1080p. Higher resolutions and longer clips can cost more, so draft at 720p and render the final at the size you need.
Sound
All three make synchronized sound in the same file. Switch it off when you plan to add your own music or a voice-over from a voice tool such as ElevenLabs.
Length
Each Veo clip runs up to 8 seconds. For a longer video, make several shots and edit them together, or use a model with longer clips, such as Seedance 2.5, on our video page.
| If you need | Choose | Today's price |
|---|---|---|
| The final shot of an ad, in 4K | Veo 3.1 | $1.30 per 5-second clip |
| A vertical clip with sound for a social post | Veo 3.1 Fast | $0.52 per 5-second clip |
| Five versions of a hook to compare | Veo 3.1 Lite | $0.195 per 5-second clip |
| Motion from a product photo | Kling or Seedance, on our video page | |
| One shot longer than 8 seconds | Seedance 2.5 or Kling, on our video page |
Quick picks: Veo 3.1 Lite for drafts, Veo 3.1 Fast for social clips, and Veo 3.1 for the final cut.
Veo 3 API or MCP: which should you use?
The Veo 3 API is for developers: you need a Google account with API billing, a key or cloud credentials, and code that starts each job and collects the video. Google's open-source genmedia MCP servers include Veo, but Google marks them as not an officially supported product, and they run in your own Google Cloud project. Through Agensi your agent connects once and signs in, starts the clip, waits for it and hands you the link, and Veo runs from the same balance as Kling, Seedance and Nano Banana.
| What you get | Official MCP per brand | Own API key or community server | Agensi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts | One per brand | One per brand | One |
| API keys | Per brand, or a sign-in | Per brand, kept by you | None |
| Payment | A plan or credits per brand | Per brand | One balance, per use |
| Spending control | Varies | Up to you | Limits per use, day and month, or ask first |
| Several sources in one answer | Connect several servers | Several servers and keys | One connection |
| Skills for the whole job | No | No | Yes, from the marketplace |
When another way is the better choice. If you build Veo into your own product, need Google's enterprise terms and quotas, or want every model setting, use Veo on Google Cloud directly. Agensi suits people who want Veo clips from an AI agent next to other video models, without a Google Cloud setup.
