Veo 3.1 Guide
Google flagship video generation with native audio; Standard tier. This page connects the model data to working GenVideoKit prompt, image-to-video, comparison and cost tools.
Prompting strategy
Use coherent natural-language direction with explicit temporal flow from start state to end state. Describe subject action, camera behavior, lighting and environmental motion. When relevant, integrate dialogue, ambience and sound effects because this model family supports native audiovisual generation. Avoid conflicting camera moves and keep continuity physically plausible.

How to use Veo 3.1 in a production workflow
Questions to answer before choosing the model
- Does the workflow require a reference image, first/last frame, keyframes or video input?
- Is synchronized audio or lip sync a hard requirement, or can sound be added in post?
- How many retries can the project budget tolerate before the cost advantage disappears?
- Will the final delivery need several aspect ratios or should composition be generated natively for each format?

What this page is meant to answer
Use this as the reference page for Veo 3.1: capabilities, prompt strategy, pricing context and links into the model-specific production tools.
Scope boundary: The model hub explains the ecosystem around the model; the individual prompt, image-to-video and cost pages each solve one narrower task.
