Quality-tier Google video · ~8s directed takes 
Veo 3.1 One directed ~8s quality take
Text or first/last frames — not reference stacks, not flexible duration. Sound rides with the picture by default; lock 720p, 1080p, or 4K before credits move.
You came for a single high-fidelity beat: a reveal, hook, product glide, or establishing insert. Write the subject, motion, camera, light, and sound cue — or hand the model a start frame (and an end frame when the finish must match). SupaImagine pins the quality-tier SKU so you land in the generator ready to run, not hunting a shelf of lookalikes.
- ~8s directed quality take per run
- Native audio on by default (not guaranteed)
- Prompt-only or first / last frame
- 720p · 1080p · 4K priced before render
- No r2v here — use Veo 3.1 Fast for refs
One directed ~8s quality beat from text or frames
Full-quality Veo 3.1 on SupaImagine is for a single continuous take — not multi-ref boards and not a duration slider.
Quality-tier Veo 3.1 returns about eight seconds from a written brief or a locked still (optional last frame). Native audio is the common path, though sensitive scenes may still export silent. Resolution is chosen up front: 720p is 225 credits per clip, 1080p is 240, 4K is 300. Free signup credits cannot fund any of those tiers. Need multi-image references? Switch to Veo 3.1 Fast. Need flexible 4–15s timing or broader refs? Prefer Seedance 2. Commercial use sits on paid plans under the site Terms.

Directed take · quality SKU
Four controls that define a quality-tier take
Text, frames, sound default, and resolution price — each row is a lever on this ~8s lane only.
Hold the whole beat in one brief
Write subject, action, camera move, light, and a sound cue as one objective. The run is sized for a reveal, hook, insert, or establishing moment — not a multi-scene storyboard you hope the model stitches together.
Start from a still that already won the look
Upload a first frame when identity, product, or art direction is already decided. Add a last frame only when the ending composition is non-negotiable. This is first/last-frame animation, not a three-image reference board — multi-ref lives on Veo 3.1 Fast.
Let sound arrive with the picture
Default generation includes native audio so ambience and motion cues are not a second project. Sensitive upstream scenes may still return silent — plan for audio as the common path, not a hard promise on every file.
Pay for the resolution you intend to ship
Pick 720p (225 credits) while you hunt the motion, then re-run the same brief at 1080p (240) or 4K (300) when the take is right. Each resolution is one generation priced on that tier — not a free upscale after the fact.
Brief · frames · resolution
Brief, frames, resolution — then run
Three setup choices that match how quality-tier Veo 3.1 actually bills.
1
Write the directed beat
Describe subject, motion, camera, light, and any sound cue you want in the ~8s window. One continuous objective beats a multi-scene wishlist.
2
Add first/last frames only if locked
Optional: upload a start still when look is fixed; add an end still when the finish composition must match. Skip multi-image reference stacks — that job is Veo 3.1 Fast.
3
Set aspect and paid resolution, then generate
Choose 16:9, 9:16, or Auto, then 720p / 1080p / 4K at 225 / 240 / 300 credits. Run the job and re-spend only when the motion already works.
Short take vs flexible lanes
When Veo 3.1 is the right short-take pick
Level A differences only — length, inputs, top resolution, audio path.
| Seedance 2 4–15s · references · flexible timing | HappyHorse 1.1 3–15s · strong on talking / refs | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Best when you need | One high-fidelity short beat | Longer timing + multimodal refs | Dialogue / character continuity |
| Length on SupaImagine | ~8 seconds (fixed upstream) | 4–15 seconds | 3–15 seconds |
| Inputs here | Text; first frame; first+last | Text; frame; video/ref media | Text; frame; reference images |
| Top resolution | 4K | 4K | 1080p |
| Audio | Default on (can be suppressed) | Native synced | Native audio |
Fits the ~8s window
Briefs that fit a single directed quality take
If the job needs multi-shot continuity or a duration slider, leave this lane early.
Launch cut-downs
Ship an eight-second product or brand moment for a landing hero or a vertical teaser. Lock aspect ratio first so you are not cropping a masterpiece into a postage stamp.
Still-led product motion
You already have the hero photo. Animate a glide, pour, light sweep, or hand-off without rebuilding the art direction from a blank prompt.
B-roll that must sound right
Prototype one atmospheric insert with a sound cue baked in, then decide whether the larger edit needs a longer multi-shot model.
Native 9:16 hooks
Generate vertical from the start for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok instead of letterboxing a landscape take.
Explore other video models
One plan, every video model — pick a better fit for motion, length, or style.
Gemini Omni Flash
Text, a still, or a source video — 3–10 seconds, 16:9 or 9:16, 30 credits per second.
Seedance 2
The only Seedance tier with 1080p and 4K — always-on synced audio, 4–15s from text, frames, or refs.
HappyHorse 1.1
Joint audio and mouth motion in 7 languages — text, a first frame, or up to 9 reference images.
Veo 3.1 Fast
Text, first/last frames, or up to three stills — native audio on most takes, 720p to 4K from 30 credits.
Veo 3.1 limits that change the spend
How long is each Veo 3.1 clip?
About eight seconds with the current SupaImagine integration. Duration is fixed upstream — there is no 4–15s slider on this quality SKU.
Can I drive Veo 3.1 from first or last frames?
Yes. Image-to-video accepts a required start frame and an optional end frame when the finish composition must match. Text-only prompts work without any upload.
Why doesn’t quality-tier Veo 3.1 accept multi-image references?
Full-quality Veo 3.1 here is text-to-video and first/last-frame only. Multi-image reference-to-video lives on Veo 3.1 Fast — open that sibling when the board needs several look refs.
Does every export include native audio?
Audio is on by default so picture and sound usually arrive together. Some sensitive scenes may still return silent upstream. Treat sound as the common path, not a hard guarantee on every file.
What do 720p, 1080p, and 4K cost?
Per clip on the quality tier: 720p = 225 credits, 1080p = 240, 4K = 300. Resolution is chosen before generate; each tier is its own paid run.
How should I budget credits for a quality Veo 3.1 clip?
Quality-tier Veo 3.1 bills per clip by resolution: 720p is 225 credits, 1080p is 240, and 4K is 300. Pick resolution before generate and keep packs ready in billing — this is a finish-tier model, not a low-credit draft lane.
Is Veo 3.1 length flexible on SupaImagine?
No. Quality-tier Veo 3.1 delivers about eight seconds per run with the current integration. Stay here when you want one directed Google Veo beat from text or first/last frames at 720p–4K — not a long multi-shot sequence.
Do commercial projects need a paid plan?
Yes. Commercial use requires a paid plan under SupaImagine Terms; free evaluation credits are not a commercial license. Clear any third-party rights in your source stills yourself.
