Iteration is cheap here: Veo 3.1 Lite costs from 0.5 credits / second, so rewriting a prompt and rerunning it is a normal part of the workflow, not a budget decision.

[Contact support](mailto:support@made.app) ### What is Veo 3.1 Lite? It is the cost-efficient tier of Google’s Veo 3.1 family, generating 720p clips with synchronized audio from text or a start image at a much lower per-second rate than the flagship. ### Does it generate sound? Yes. Audio is generated natively and synchronized with the picture, same as flagship Veo 3.1 — describe the sound you want in the prompt. ### How does it differ from Veo 3.1? Lite trades the flagship’s fidelity, 1:1 format, and end-frame control for a far cheaper per-second rate — ideal for drafts, with 4, 6, or 8 second durations instead of 4 or 8. ### Which resolution does Made use? Made pins output to 720p. ### Can it animate an existing image? Yes. Add a start image and describe the motion and audio; Made routes the request to the Lite image-to-video endpoint. ### When should I choose another model? Choose Veo 3.1 for hero shots and end-frame control, Veo 3.1 Native Dialogue for lip-synced speech, or MiniMax H3 Max Turbo when generation speed matters most.
