Frequently Asked Questions
What is Veo 3.1 best at compared to other AI video models?
Veo 3.1 is Google's strongest model for native audio generation — it produces synced sound effects and ambient audio without a separate pass. It also renders 1080p video faster than Sora 2 Pro. The trade-off is slightly less photorealistic human motion than Sora 2 Pro. For UGC ads where audio matters and speed-to-render matters, Veo 3.1 is often the right default.
How long can a Veo 3.1 clip be?
Currently 8 seconds per generation, extendable to 16 seconds via the extend endpoint. For a 30-second UGC ad, you typically chain 4–6 clips together with consistent prompting. UGC Copilot handles the chaining and stitching automatically when you select Veo 3.1 as the rendering engine.
Does Veo 3.1 support image-to-video?
Yes. Veo 3.1 accepts a starting reference image and animates from it — useful for product b-roll where you have a fixed product photo and need motion. UGC Copilot uses this for product reveals and lifestyle scenes generated from a single uploaded product image.
