Pricing & billing

8 questions

How much does VeoStudio cost?

Pro is $25 a month: 300 tokens (with up to 150 rolling over), priority queue access, 5% off token top-ups, and commercial rights. Need more tokens? Pay-as-you-go token packs can be bought at any time, at $0.053–$0.070 per token depending on pack size.

What are tokens and how do they work?

Tokens pay for Google Veo 3.1 video generation and image generation. Per 8-second clip: Draft mode costs 12 tokens, Fast mode 30 and Quality mode 80. Nano Banana 2 Lite images cost 1 token each, Nano Banana 2 images 2 tokens, and Nano Banana Pro images, at photorealistic quality, 4 tokens. Lyria music costs 10 tokens per 30-second clip. Frames are billed at the image rate you pick (1–4 tokens); AI script writing is free. 300 tokens — one month of Pro — buys 25 Draft shots, 10 Fast or 3 Quality.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The 7-day free trial gives you 50 tokens, enough for 3 eight-second Draft shots with their still frames, and needs no credit card. Every feature is included, Quality mode too, and afterwards you move to the Free tier unless you upgrade to Pro.

Can I use my own Google API key?

Yes, on Pro. Add a Google AI Studio key under Account → API key and video, image and music generation runs on your own Google account at Google’s prices — unlimited, and costing you zero tokens here. Your Pro plan covers the studio: the editor, templates, characters, frames, script writing and stitching. Google bills you directly for what you generate. You can switch the key off at any time and go back to tokens, and your token balance stays exactly where it was.

Do tokens expire?

No. Tokens never expire. Buy them once and use them whenever you need them, even months later.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel Pro whenever you like. You keep access until the end of the billing period, and any unused tokens stay in your account.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The only costs are the $25/month Pro subscription and optional token top-ups ($0.053–$0.070 per token depending on pack size). No export fees, no rendering fees, no per-user fees, no hidden charges.

What payment methods are accepted?

All major credit cards — Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover — through a secure payment processor.

Features & capabilities

8 questions

What is Nano Banana 2 Lite, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro?

All three image models hold faces, wardrobe and style steady across scenes. Nano Banana 2 Lite costs 1 token an image for quick iterations, and Nano Banana 2 costs 2. Nano Banana Pro costs 4, makes photorealistic images from reference images, and is on the Pro plan and the free trial.

How many scenes can I create?

Up to 99 scenes per project using the AI Script Writer. Each scene is 8 seconds long, which puts a finished film at 13+ minutes.

What is the AI Script Writer?

The AI Script Writer is the AI director: it generates structured, multi-scene scripts with detailed scene descriptions covering prompts, camera work, lighting, dialogue and timeline information. It is included with your subscription.

Can I preview before generating videos?

Yes. For every scene the AI generates first- and last-frame descriptions, and Nano Banana 2 draws preview images. You see exactly what a scene will look like before spending tokens on video generation.

What video quality do I get?

Quality mode generates at 1080p (1920x1080). Draft and Fast generate at 720p. Every mode comes with automatically generated audio.

What aspect ratios are supported?

Films are 16:9 (landscape) or 9:16 (portrait), for YouTube, TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Character stills are generated square, at 1:1.

How long does video generation take?

Quality mode typically takes 2–4 minutes per 8-second clip, Fast mode 1–2 minutes. Fast is the quickest across a whole project because its shots render in parallel; Draft and Quality render in sequence so each shot can carry continuity from the one before. Generation time varies with server load.

Can I edit the AI-generated script?

Yes. Every AI-generated script is fully editable. Change prompts, adjust camera angles, alter lighting, or rewrite scenes completely before generating frames or videos.

Video creation

7 questions

What is the difference between Draft, Fast and Quality mode?

Draft is Veo 3.1 Lite at 12 tokens a shot, 720p, with scene-to-scene continuity, on every plan. Fast is 30 tokens, 720p, with shots rendered in parallel for speed, on every plan. Quality is 80 tokens, 1080p, with continuity, on the Pro plan and the free trial, and all three include synchronised audio.

Can I mix Draft, Fast and Quality modes?

Yes, and it is the point. Block the whole film out in Draft, see what works, then refilm the shots that survive at Quality and use Fast for transitions or B-roll. Mode is set per scene.

How does continuity work between scenes?

Two ways: text continuity, where each scene’s ending description flows into the next scene’s opening, and image continuity, where the previous scene’s last frame is used as a reference for the next scene’s first frame. Image continuity needs shots to render in order, so it runs on Draft and Quality but not on Fast, which renders scenes in parallel.

Can I create videos without using the AI Script Writer?

Yes. Individual video clips can be created by hand. The script writer simply gives better continuity and structure on multi-scene projects.

What file formats are supported?

Every video is exported as MP4 — the most widely compatible format for platforms and editing software.

Can I download my videos?

Yes. Every generated video can be downloaded straight to your device. There are no export fees and no download limits.

Do I need to use Google AI Studio?

No. VeoStudio provides managed access to Google Veo 3.1 and the Nano Banana image models. There is no separate Google AI Studio account or subscription to set up.

Technical questions

6 questions

What AI models does VeoStudio use?

Google Veo 3.1 for video generation, in three tiers: Veo 3.1 Lite for Draft, Veo 3.1 Fast for Fast and Veo 3.1 for Quality. Images come from Nano Banana 2 Lite, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro, music from Lyria. Script writing is handled by the AI director.

Why do clips have to be 8 seconds?

A single Veo 3.1 generation is 8 seconds, but the continuity and scene-extension system builds single coherent scenes up to 148 seconds. You can also create up to 99 clips and stitch them together in the Movie Maker for a film of any length.

Does VeoStudio work on mobile?

VeoStudio is web-based and runs on any device with a modern browser. For complex multi-scene projects a desktop or laptop is the better experience.

Can I use my own images or videos?

Yes. Reference images can be uploaded for first-frame conditioning — useful for specific shots, or when you already have your own character designs.

Do I need a powerful computer?

No. All AI processing and video generation happens in the cloud. You need an internet connection and a modern web browser.

Is there an API?

Not currently. VeoStudio is built as a complete creative platform with a web interface. An API may follow, based on demand.
