Key features of Veo 3.1
Veo 3.1 is built for short-form scenes that need better shot direction, tighter visual anchoring, and sound inside the first generation.
dual input modes
Generate from text alone or from a source image, then layer up to three reference images when a shot needs tighter visual direction.
reference images
Anchor style and subject details with as many as three reference images instead of relying on one image or prompt wording alone.
frame controls
Guide the opening or closing beat with first-frame and last-frame inputs when a scene needs a precise visual start, finish, or transition.
camera language
Prompt shot scale, lens feel, and movement directly so dolly moves, aerial sweeps, and close framing read more like planned cinematography.
video extension
Extend previously generated clips when one good take needs more runway instead of rebuilding the sequence from the first frame.
native audio
Render video with dialogue, sound effects, and ambience in the same generation pass instead of sending clips to a separate audio workflow.

How to use Veo 3.1 on Alici
How to Create AI Videos with Veo 3.1
Veo 3.1 is best when the brief is short, the visual references are intentional, and the scene needs audio, pacing, and framing to land together.
Open Veo 3.1Upload your prompt assets
Start with a text brief or a source image, then add up to 3 reference images if the shot needs stronger subject or style control. Reference-image jobs require an 8 second duration in Veo 3.1.
Describe the scene
Write the action, setting, camera movement, and sound cues in one prompt. Veo responds best when the prompt names subject action, shot framing, lens feel, and any dialogue or ambient audio expectations.
Generate and refine
Choose 16:9 or 9:16 output, then render a 4, 6, or 8 second clip at 720p, 1080p, or 4K depending on the shot setup. Extend successful 720p generations when the first take needs another beat.

Veo 3.1 differentiates from Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, and Runway Gen-4.5 by pairing native audio with up to three reference images and frame-specific control in one model. That combination makes its 8-second shot format especially useful when the opening image, the ending beat, and the sound all need to align from the start.
FAQ
Everything you need to know about Veo 3.1
What is Veo 3.1?
Veo 3.1 is Google's AI video generation model for text-to-video and image-to-video work. It creates short clips with native audio, supports up to three reference images, and adds first-frame, last-frame, and extension workflows so creators can guide both the visual direction and how a scene opens or resolves.
What inputs does Veo 3.1 support?
Veo 3.1 supports text prompts, image-to-video generation, and up to three reference images for style or subject guidance. It also supports first-frame and last-frame inputs for frame-specific generation, plus extension from a previously generated Veo clip when the goal is to continue an existing shot instead of starting over.
Does Veo 3.1 generate audio?
Veo 3.1 generates video with native audio, which means dialogue, ambience, and sound cues can arrive in the same output rather than being added afterward in a second tool. That matters most for creators who need to review pacing, spoken lines, and shot timing together instead of judging a silent draft.
How do reference images work in Veo 3.1?
Reference images let Veo 3.1 borrow visual direction from as many as three uploaded stills. In practice, creators use them to hold onto character styling, product appearance, or a particular aesthetic while the prompt controls action, camera language, and sound. Reference-image jobs require 8-second generations, which is part of the model's current rules.
What video quality and length does Veo 3.1 support?
Veo 3.1 supports 4, 6, and 8 second clips at 24 frames per second in 16:9 or 9:16 layouts. It can generate 720p, 1080p, or 4K output, but 1080p and 4K are limited to 8-second generations. Video extension is currently limited to 720p outputs.
Can Veo 3.1 extend or edit existing videos?
Veo 3.1 supports extending videos that were previously generated with Veo, which is useful when a shot already works and simply needs one more beat. It also supports first-frame and last-frame control, so creators can constrain how a scene begins or ends instead of relying on prompt wording alone.
How do I use Veo 3.1 on Alici?
To use Veo 3.1 on Alici, prepare a clear shot brief, decide whether the scene should start from text or from an image, then gather any reference stills that the shot needs. Once the route is live in Alici, the workflow will center on uploading those assets, setting duration and aspect ratio, and iterating on the scene direction.
How is Veo 3.1 different from Seedance 2, Kling 3.0, or Runway Gen-4.5?
Veo 3.1 stands apart by combining native audio output with up to three reference images and first-frame or last-frame control in one model. Seedance 2 covers more asset types in one generation, Kling 3.0 leans harder into multimodal storyboard workflows, and Runway Gen-4.5 stays strongest around image-led identity control plus adjacent audio tools.
How much will Veo 3.1 cost on Alici?
Alici pricing for Veo 3.1 has not been published yet. The route is being prepared as a product landing page first, so creators can review specs, workflows, and comparisons before access opens. When Alici enables the model, pricing will need to reflect Veo's higher-cost modes such as 1080p or 4K video with native audio.
Do I need video editing experience to use Veo 3.1?
Video editing experience is helpful, but it is not a requirement for getting useful first outputs from Veo 3.1. The more important skill is describing subject action, framing, and sound clearly. Editors will get more mileage from the tool, but marketers, educators, and creators can still work productively from references and prompts.
Can I use Veo 3.1 videos for commercial work?
Commercial use decisions should follow Alici's launch terms plus the rights review attached to your specific project. The landing page assumes a watermark-free workflow for client projects and marketing output, but teams still need to check brand permissions, likeness rights, and any applicable Google or Alici policy updates before publishing the final asset.
Is Veo 3.1 available now on Alici?
Yes. Veo 3.1 is available on Alici through the video generation workflow. This landing page explains where it fits best, how its reference-image and audio controls work, and how it compares with nearby models before you start a generation.
When will Veo 3.1 be available?
Veo 3.1 is already accessible on Alici through the video generator route. If workflow settings, pricing, or supported modes change over time, the live generation page is the source of truth for the current setup.

Trusted by creators
Veo 3.1 is most compelling for creators who need to review framing, dialogue, and motion together instead of stitching those decisions across separate tools.
Lesson scenes are easier to review with sound included
Instructional clips are hard to judge when they come back silent, because timing is the whole point. Veo 3.1 made early reviews clearer for me since I could check whether the action, framing, and spoken explanation belonged together before I invested in a longer edit or voice session.
Dialogue shots land faster without a separate audio pass
I usually lose a day stitching sound onto AI clips, especially when the pacing is dialogue-led. Veo 3.1 helped because the spoken moment, the reaction shot, and the room tone came back together, so I could judge the scene as a finished social edit instead of a silent draft.
Creative testing got tighter once audio stayed inside the shot
We test a lot of hooks, but separate audio tooling makes those first iterations slower than they should be. Veo 3.1 was useful for fast concept rounds because we could compare framing, spoken line timing, and pacing in the same export before deciding which ad variant deserved a full production pass.
Reference images gave clients a cleaner approval loop
Client reviews move faster when they can see the intended look without guessing what the prompt meant. With Veo 3.1, I could pair a concept image with reference stills and show a much closer visual direction, which made approvals about the idea instead of about model drift.
Pre-vis feels more like blocking than guesswork
What I need from pre-vis is scene logic, not random spectacle. Veo 3.1 worked for me when I needed a first frame, a last frame, and a simple camera move to explain how the shot should travel. That made it easier to discuss rhythm with collaborators before we booked production days.
Product footage keeps the launch mood closer to brand
We often have one hero render and a clear mood target, but turning that into motion usually breaks the original styling. Veo 3.1 gave us a better bridge from still image to motion because the product silhouette and lighting direction held closer to the brief than our prompt-only tests.
