## Intent

Veo 3.1 is a short 4K cinematic SKU. Seedance 2.5 is a longer 1080p native-audio model with a large reference set.

## Verdict

Veo 3.1 lists 4, 6, or 8 seconds at 720p–4K with optional audio, 16:9 or 9:16, first/last frames, and up to three references. Seedance 2.5 lists 4–30 seconds at 480p–1080p with optional audio, broader aspect ratios, first/last frames, and up to 30 references. Choose Veo when 4K and a short directed shot are the constraint; choose Seedance 2.5 when length or a large reference set matters more than 4K.
