Pricing source read:
Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
Gemini API terms require users 18+ and professional/business development within available regions; consumer apps have separate terms. Hosted access grants no weights or code. Google claims no output ownership, but users need input/publication rights. Paid API with active Cloud Billing excludes product-improvement use of prompts/responses, while permitting safety logs and transient cross-border storage; it is not zero retention.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
The existing 4.6 score is retained without its original worksheet. This review measured no video quality, motion, audio, latency or comparative result.
Overview
Veo is a family rather than a single fixed model. Google's current pages describe Veo 3.1 generation with native audio, image guidance and selected frame or extension controls. Features differ between Standard, Fast and Lite. The Gemini video guide now lists other video models too; select Veo for a documented workflow rather than assuming it is the default model everywhere.
Review reference rights, audio, motion and factual details before delivery. Plan a download step: the API guide says generated videos remain on its server for two days. SynthID and safety filters do not establish factual accuracy or clear third-party rights.
