A New Model, Made for Precision

At its core, Veo 3.1 is about clarity and coherence. Each frame connects more naturally, delivering richer textures and more accurate movement.

‍
It’s also now the most advanced video model available in Pencil: ideal for branded storytelling, product demos, and cinematic scenes.

Each generation costs 2 Generation Credits per second of video, keeping quality improvements simple and scalable across projects.

‍

Director-Level Control with Reference Images

For the first time, creators can guide video generation using up to three reference images, giving you director-level control over characters, art direction, or layout consistency.

The feature is available now through the Video Generation Agent (just attach images as you would normally).
An easy in-app upload interface for the Video Generation Tool is also on the way.

Great for:

• Keeping product angles, environments, or visual styles consistent
  
• Maintaining character likenesses across a series
  
• Extending the same lighting or framing across multiple clips

‍

Seamless Sequences with End Frame

Veo 3.1 also expands the way you can connect clips together.

‍
The ‘End Frame’ feature, which uses the final frame of one video as the starting point for the next, now works across Veo 2, Veo 3, and Veo 3.1.

That means smoother transitions, better story continuity, and the ability to create multi-shot scenes that feel cohesive from start to finish.

‍
Perfect for step-by-step demos, product sequences, or short narrative ads.

‍

Bringing cinematic storytelling to AI video

This new model for AI video takes the leap from generation to direction.

The addition of Reference Images gives creative teams a way to lock in identity and style, while End Frame ensures those visuals stay consistent across scenes.

The result is cinematic quality paired with creative control — helping marketers, designers, and storytellers shape AI-generated content that looks deliberate, cohesive, and production-ready.
