Features
Why Veo 3.1 Fast
Cinematic camera language
Push-ins, whip pans, tracking shots, tilts — the camera-control prompts that Veo 3.1 respects are the same prompts Fast respects. Your shot list transfers over.
Native audio included
Fast still renders dialogue, ambience, and SFX with the video. You don't trade down the audio pipeline to gain speed.
Best for iteration
Draft 10 versions of a shot, pick the winner, then run the chosen prompt through full-quality Veo 3.1 for delivery. Fast makes the idea-loop cheap.
Image-to-video at draft speed
Upload a still from Sunra's image generator or your camera roll and Fast animates it in seconds. Test 5 motion directions before committing to a full-quality render.
Lower credit cost per generation
Fast consumes fewer credits than standard Veo 3.1 per clip. On a Sunra subscription, you can generate 2-3x more drafts within the same weekly allowance — ideal for high-volume content teams.
Multi-aspect-ratio support
16:9 widescreen, 9:16 vertical, 1:1 square — all render at the same speed. Switch between formats without re-prompting, so one idea becomes assets for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram in a single session.
