Veo 3.1 Lite: cheap ~8s Google Veo drafts you can try free
Site default video model — lowest Veo credits, text or frames, no multi-image refs.
Veo 3.1 Lite is the draft lane in the Veo family on SupaImagine. Each run is about eight seconds in 16:9, 9:16, or Auto. Default 720p costs 10 credits, so signup freeCredits cover one clip. Step to 1080p (30) or 4K (75) when a take deserves it. Sound usually arrives with the picture. For 1–3 reference images use Veo 3.1 Fast; for max quality without refs use full Veo 3.1.

What Lite is for
Draft on Veo 3.1 Lite, promote only the winners
Low credits, fixed ~8s, honest limits — volume before Fast or quality spend.
Try free at 720p with signup credits
New accounts receive 10 free credits. One default 720p Veo 3.1 Lite clip costs 10 credits, so you can run a real free trial after signup. Later takes use your balance — open pricing when you need more volume.
Write a short Veo 3.1 Lite beat from text
Subject, action, camera, and light in one prompt. Hunt pacing and composition on Lite before you spend on Fast references or full-quality Veo 3.1.
Animate a still with first or last frames
Upload a first frame when the look is already won. Add a last frame only when the ending cannot drift. Lite has no multi-image reference stack — that path lives on Veo 3.1 Fast.
Start at 720p, step up only when it earns it
Hunt motion at 720p for 10 credits, then re-run the same brief at 1080p (30) or 4K (75) when the take is worth it. Each resolution is a new generation. UI may show a discount badge; billed amounts are 10 / 30 / 75.

Veo 3.1 Lite questions before you generate
Can I try Veo 3.1 Lite free?
Yes after signup. Default 720p costs 10 credits, and new accounts receive 10 freeCredits — enough for one Lite clip. Sign in to spend those credits; there is no anonymous daily free path.
How long is each Veo 3.1 Lite clip?
About eight seconds per run with the current integration. Aspects are 16:9, 9:16, or Auto. Length is not a free-form 4–15s slider like Seedance.
What do 720p, 1080p, and 4K cost on Lite?
Per clip: 720p = 10 credits, 1080p = 30, 4K = 75. Choose resolution before generate. A UI discount badge may show strikethrough prices; billing uses 10 / 30 / 75.
Does Veo 3.1 Lite accept multi-image references?
No. Lite is text-to-video and first/last-frame image-to-video only. For 1–3 reference images open Veo 3.1 Fast.
Does every Lite export include native audio?
Native audio is on by default, so most takes return picture and sound together. Sensitive scenes may suppress audio upstream — preview before you publish.
When should I leave Lite for Fast or full Veo 3.1?
Stay on Lite while you are hunting ideas at low cost. Move to Fast when you need multi-image refs, and to full Veo 3.1 when you want the higher quality short beat without ref stacks.
What happens after my signup credits are spent?
Later Veo 3.1 Lite runs use your credit balance at 10 / 30 / 75 by resolution. Open pricing for packs when you need more volume. The free path is signup credits on the default 720p clip only.
Are paid-plan Lite clips cleared for commercial work?
Yes under a paid SupaImagine plan and the Terms. Free evaluation balance alone is not a commercial license; clear third-party rights in your prompts and frames.
