How is Veo 3.1 Lite different from Veo 3.1 Fast?

Lite sits one step below Fast: it costs roughly half as much per clip and gives up some fidelity for it, while keeping native audio and the Veo look. Fast is the better pick once a shot is close to final.

Does Veo 3.1 Lite still generate audio?

Yes. Native audio is included on every Veo tier here, including Lite — that is the main reason to reach for a Veo model over a cheaper non-Veo alternative.

Does a longer clip cost more credits?

No. Veo 3.1 Lite is charged per clip, not per second, and every clip is 8 seconds long, so there is no shorter option to save on.
