Veo Series
Google Veo 3.1 video generation, available through both official direct and reverse-engineered channels, with 4 variants in total.
After submission, poll status with
- Official tiers (Vertex AI direct): billed per second; supports 4 / 6 / 8 second durations and 720P / 1080P / 4K resolutions.
- Reverse-engineered tiers: billed per call (fixed price per call); only 8-second fixed duration.
Both channels natively support audio, first/last-frame keyframes, and Remix continuation.
Pricing
4K resolution does not support muted output — you must set
generate_audio=true (720p / 1080p can be either muted or with audio). In the table below, 720p_sound / 1080p_sound are the audio-on premium tiers, and 4k_sound is the only available 4K tier.Official Tiers (per-second)
720P and 1080P share the same price (Google’s official tiered pricing); enablinggenerate_audio=true doubles the unit price.

Reverse-Engineered Tiers (per-call)
Reverse-engineered tiers use a fixed per-call price independent of duration, resolution, or audio (only 8 seconds is supported). Refer to the admin panel / console for the published price.Request Examples
