Iteration is cheap here: Veo 3.1 costs 4 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? It is Google’s flagship video generation model, producing 4 or 8 second clips with natively synchronized audio from text or a start image. ### Does Veo 3.1 generate sound? Yes. Audio is generated natively and synchronized with the picture — describe the sound you want in the prompt. ### How long can clips be? Exactly 4 or 8 seconds. For longer continuous takes, use Seedance 2.5 or WAN 3.0 and reserve Veo 3.1 for the hero moments. ### Can I control the first and last frame? Yes. Veo 3.1 accepts an optional start frame, an optional end frame, or both — useful for planned transitions between two stills. ### Which resolution does Made use? Made does not expose a resolution control; clips render at the provider’s 720p default. ### When should I choose another model? Iterate on Veo 3.1 Lite at a fraction of the per-second rate, choose Veo 3.1 Native Dialogue for lip-synced talking scenes, or Kling 3 Pro for a different cinematic look.
