Pixio briefing
How to get the best out of Veo 3.1
Text to Video
Best when you want to direct the whole shot from language.
New scenes, camera intent, atmosphere-first ideation.
Image to Video
Best when the first frame or reference look needs to stay locked.
Keyframes, product shots, character continuity, style anchoring.
Extend
Best when the clip already works and you want more control instead of a reroll.
Continuations, polish passes, cleanup, stronger finals.
Basic Info
Veo 3.1 is Google’s video model on Pixio. Create video from text, reference images, or first and last frame; use extend (scene extension) to chain clips and reach up to ~2.5 minutes. Fast variants are available for drafts; the full model delivers cinematic quality and precise frame control.
Veo 3.1
Veo 3.1 is Google’s video model on Pixio. Create video from text, reference images, or first and last frame; use extend (scene extension) to chain clips and reach up to ~2.5 minutes. Fast variants are available for drafts; the full model delivers cinematic quality and precise frame control.
Use this when
- You want Google’s latest video quality and coherence.
- You need text-to-video, image-to-video, or first + last frame in one model.
- You want scene extension to go beyond a single clip (e.g. extend up to ~148s with multiple hops).
- You prefer a fast option for iteration and a higher-quality option for finals.
Modes in Pixio

|---|---|---|
| Text to video | Prompt only | Scenes from scratch |
| Image to video | One image + prompt | Animating stills, keyframe-driven clips |
| First + last frame | Two images + prompt | Precise start and end; model animates the transition |
| Reference to video | One or more reference images + prompt | Style or character consistency |
| Extend | Existing Veo clip | Lengthening the clip; chain hops for long-form (e.g. up to ~20 hops, ~7s per hop) |
Options
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | Fast, Standard (or higher) | Fast for drafts and iteration; Standard for best quality and coherence |
| Duration | Single clip (e.g. up to ~8s base) | Extension adds length per hop; check Pixio for current limits |
| Reference images | 1–3 images | Use for style or character consistency when the UI supports it |
