How Autotube uses Veo 3.1.
Google's Veo 3.1 is the best-looking clip model on this site, and the most expensive per second in the whole catalog. A tool for single shots, not for a whole video.
128 credits per second of clip
Why Veo 3.1 is in the catalog.
The most convincing motion
The most convincing motion of the clip models on this site: movement that reads as a camera move rather than a morph, and a subject that stays itself for the length of the clip.
From a prompt or a still
It generates from a text prompt, or animates a still you supply, so a shot can start from a frame one of the image models produced.
One shot, not a scene list
Per second it is the most expensive model in the catalog by a wide margin, so Autotube treats it as a one-clip-at-a-time tool rather than something to fan out across a scene list.
Where it earns its price
A single clip in the cold open, or one shot in the middle of a video that has to land, with the rest of the moving scenes on Veo 3.1 Fast or Grok Imagine Video.

128 credits per second of clip
Clips are priced per second, and Veo 3.1 is the highest per-second price in the catalog — several times what the value clip models cost. The figure above is one second at the settings Autotube renders clips on; multiply by the clip length, and remember that a handful of seconds of Veo 3.1 can cost more than a whole video's worth of stills.

What Veo 3.1 will not do.
- It is generated one clip at a time rather than fanned out across a whole video's moving scenes — Veo 3.1 Fast is the one Autotube batches.
- It is the most expensive model in the catalog per second of output.
- Clips are short by nature. A video is still built from many scenes; a clip model covers the ones that need motion.
