Question 1

What is Veo 3.1 Lite, and is it Veo 3?

Accepted Answer

Veo 3.1 Lite is the lower-cost tier of Google DeepMind's Veo 3.1 video model, released in March 2026. It belongs to the Veo 3 generation, so it is what LazyKiwi runs when you pick Veo 3: text-to-video and image-to-video at 720p or 1080p, 16:9 or 9:16.

Question 2

Can I use Veo 3 for free?

Accepted Answer

New LazyKiwi accounts start with free credits, and Veo 3.1 Lite is one of the cheaper models to spend them on: 200 credits for a 4-second 720p clip. Google offers Veo 3.1 Lite through paid API access, so LazyKiwi is a way to try Veo 3 without a Google Cloud account.

Question 3

Does Veo 3.1 Lite generate audio in LazyKiwi?

Accepted Answer

No. The LazyKiwi Veo 3.1 Lite tier has no audio setting, so there is no dialogue, music or sound-effect generation to switch on. Treat clips as picture only and add voiceover, music or effects in your editor as a separate step.

Question 4

Does Veo 3 support image to video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload one image and Veo 3.1 Lite animates it with the same 16:9 or 9:16 framing, 720p or 1080p output and 4 to 60 second presets as text mode; the prompt then describes motion and camera. A start-and-end-frame pair is not offered on this model.

Question 5

What is the longest Veo 3.1 Lite clip in LazyKiwi?

Accepted Answer

The workbench offers 4, 6, 8, 30, 45 and 60 second presets. Google's documentation for Veo 3.1 Lite lists 4, 6 and 8 second clips; the longer presets are exposed by the LazyKiwi workbench and billed per second, so a 60-second 720p run is 3,000 credits.
