Faster audio-visual previews
Suited to comparing multiple versions of the same prompt. Client first drafts and internal direction reviews turn around faster, without running every candidate through the flagship tier.

Google Veo 3.1 Fast — a Veo 3.1 tier for faster takes and batch iteration
What is Google Veo 3.1 Fast?
Google Veo 3.1 Fast is the speed-leaning tier within the Veo 3.1 family. It's built for takes and batch iteration where you need results faster: storyboard candidates, confirming an audio-visual direction, client first drafts, and internal review. Prompt and reference habits carry over from Veo 3.1, so once a preview lands you can move it to the flagship tier for the final cut. Native clips still run roughly 4–8 seconds; the exact tier depends on the workspace. Select Veo 3.1 Fast in the iMini video workspace to use it.

Prompts carry over to Veo 3.1
Same 3.1 capability line — prompt, reference, and first/last-frame habits that pass here carry over to the flagship tier, cutting repeated back-and-forth before the final cut.
Batch candidates are more efficient
For storyboard libraries and A/B shot screening, Fast is well suited to laying down volume first. Once an option is picked, upgrading it to Google Veo 3.1 keeps the process clean.
Still upgrade to flagship for the final cut
For deliveries with high demands on cinematic look, extend control, and audio-visual polish, confirm direction here first, then move to Google Veo 3.1.
