Google Veo

Text-to-video with native audio

Free tier + paidAI media generationdeepmind.google

What it is

Google DeepMind's video model, currently Veo 3.1 in Lite, Fast and Quality variants, generating synchronised dialogue, sound effects and music in a single pass. Consumer access runs through Flow and the Gemini app; developer access through the Gemini API and Vertex AI.

Why it earns a slot

The best native audio in AI video - lip-synced dialogue and matched foley emerge from one generation instead of a separate pass. Flow adds scene extension and ingredient-based shot assembly, and Lite makes bulk drafting genuinely cheap.

Know before you commit

Every generation is capped at 8 seconds, so longer sequences mean stitching multiple runs and paying for each. Flow credits vary wildly by tier: a Quality clip costs 100 credits against 10 for Lite, so a $19.99 Pro plan is only about ten good clips.

Getting started
