Why Veo 3.1
Native audio with full ambience
Synced dialogue, footsteps, room tone, wind — rendered together with the video. No post-production audio layer required for a polished result.
Best-in-class prompt adherence
What you write is what you get. Veo 3.1 reliably executes complex, multi-clause prompts without dropping half the details the way earlier models do.
High-fidelity characters
Faces and hands hold their form across the clip. No uncanny drift, no warping fingers — character identity stays stable from first frame to last.
Image-to-video with first-frame control
Upload a reference image and Veo 3.1 treats it as frame one. Great for animating product shots, stills from AI image generators, or design mockups — the model preserves your composition exactly.
Up to 8-second generation with scene coherence
Each clip can run up to 8 seconds with consistent lighting, physics, and character continuity. Chain multiple generations in Sunra Flow for longer sequences without visual drift between cuts.
Multi-resolution output including 4K upscale
Render in 720p for fast drafts or upscale to 4K for broadcast delivery. Pair with Sunra's AI upscaler for maximum resolution on hero assets — all without leaving the platform.

FAQ
Questions & answers
What's new in Veo 3.1 vs Veo 3?
Veo 3.1 improves audio quality, prompt adherence on complex prompts, and character consistency across frames. Camera control language is also more reliable — direction words like 'tracking shot' and 'dutch angle' execute correctly much more often.
How long can Veo 3.1 videos be?
Up to 8 seconds per generation at launch quality. Chain multiple generations in Sunra Flow for longer sequences that keep the same characters.
Does Veo 3.1 generate audio?
Yes. Dialogue, ambient sound, and music are all generated natively as part of the video — synced to the action, not layered on after.
How is Veo 3.1 different from Sora 2?
Veo 3.1 wins on camera control and prompt adherence; OpenAI's flagship video model wins on photoreal world simulation. Both are top-tier. Use Veo when you know exactly what shot you want, Sora when you want the model to surprise you.
Veo 3.1 vs Kling 3.0 — which should I pick?
Kling 3.0 excels at multi-shot cohesion and lip-sync; Veo 3.1 leads on cinematic camera direction and native audio quality. For narrative work where camera language matters, choose Veo. For character-driven dialogue scenes, try Kling first.
Can I try Veo 3.1 free on Sunra?
Yes. Every Sunra account gets daily free credits that work with Veo 3.1. Heavier usage or priority queue requires a subscription.
Can Veo 3.1 do image-to-video?

What's the difference between Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Fast?
Veo 3.1 Fast renders in roughly half the time at a small cost in fine-detail fidelity. Use Fast for drafting and iteration, standard Veo 3.1 for final delivery and broadcast-quality output.
Can I chain multiple Veo 3.1 clips into a longer video?
