# Veo 3.1 Lite — Try Online, Prompts & vs Fast

Canonical page: https://clipstudio.ai/ai-video-models/veo-3-1-lite

## Answer

Veo 3.1 Lite is the lowest-rate Veo 3.1 path in Video Lab. Generate 4, 6, or 8 second shots at 720p or 1080p from text or a starting image, with optional audio. First and last frames are an 8-second shot. 4K and reference packs stay on Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast.

## Best for

Lower-cost Veo drafts, 720p tests, and short cinematic clips that do not need 4K or references.

## Specs

- Duration: 4, 6, or 8 seconds
- Resolution: 720p or 1080p
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 or 9:16
- Audio: Optional generated audio
- Input support: Text prompt, Animate image, First → last

## Strengths

- Lower-cost Veo SKU
- Animate and first/last frames
- Optional generated audio


## Considerations

- 720p or 1080p only—no 4K
- No reference-image mode
- First/last-frame shots are 8 seconds


## Prompt tip

Describe the subject, action, camera move, lighting, and sound as separate beats. Step up to Veo 3.1 Fast when you need 4K or three references.

## Prompts that work

- A 720p draft: a bottle turns on wet asphalt, slow dolly, optional tire hiss, 6 seconds.
- Vertical 9:16 founder look-up at blue hour; 1080p, room tone on.
- First frame a closed pack, last frame the box opening; Lite first/last is an 8-second locked shot.
- Same prompt as Veo 3.1 Fast, then step up to Fast when you need 4K or three references.
