Course Intro Video
Generated on PixelDojo with VEO 3.1 Fast. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
A course intro video needs one thing above everything else: a real-looking person facing the camera and telling students what they are about to get. We generated that shot live on August 26, 2026 with VEO 3.1 Fast: one sentence of dialogue in, a 4 second 1280 by 720 clip with a synchronized audio track out, 12 credits, about 40 seconds turnaround. This page covers writing the line, generating the shot, and stitching it into the rest of the course.

VEO 3.1 Fast

Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Course Intro Video

12 credits for the whole shot
VEO 3.1 Fast charges 3 credits per second, so the 4 second minimum duration is 12 credits total, audio included.
No separate voiceover pass
The audio is rendered in the same request as the video. What you write in the prompt is what the clip says.
About 40 seconds, measured
Timed from submission to finished file on August 26, 2026, with no retries.
How It Works
How we generated the intro shot, so you can build yours the same way:
Write one sentence, not a script
A course intro only needs a welcome and a promise. We used a single line: Welcome to the course, by the end of this you will be able to build your first project from scratch. Anything longer than that fights the length of the clip.
Generate the talking shot with a native-audio video model
We sent this prompt to VEO 3.1 Fast: An online course instructor stands at a bright home studio desk with a laptop and a small plant, speaking directly and warmly to camera, saying 'Welcome to the course, by the end of this you will be able to build your first project from scratch', natural delivery, soft room tone in the background. It charged 12 credits, 3 credits per second at a 4 second duration, and returned a 1280 by 720 file in about 40 seconds. VEO 3.1 Fast renders its own synchronized audio in the same run, so the clip's audio track came back at the same 4.0 second length as the video with no separate voiceover step.
Cut it into the actual course
One clip is a greeting, not a course. Chain a title card before it and your first lesson's footage after it in Canvas, so the intro flows straight into lesson one inside one project instead of three separate exports.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Course Intro Video
What does an AI course intro video cost?
VEO 3.1 Fast charges 3 credits per second. Our 4 second clip, the shortest duration the model accepts, came to 12 credits including the audio.
How fast is it?
About 40 seconds in our August 26, 2026 run, measured from submission to the finished file.
Does the clip come with sound already?
Yes. VEO 3.1 Fast generates a synchronized audio track in the same run. Our output file's audio track ran the same 4.0 seconds as the video, so there was no separate voiceover step to record or sync.
What should the intro line actually say?
One sentence: who the course is for and what they will be able to do by the end. Ours read Welcome to the course, by the end of this you will be able to build your first project from scratch, and the model spoke it directly.
Is there a cheaper or higher quality option than VEO 3.1 Fast?
VEO 3.1 Standard costs 8 credits per second for a higher quality bar, well above Fast's 3. VEO 3.1 Lite runs 1.5 to 2 credits per second but does not generate audio, so a talking course intro on Lite needs a separate voiceover step.
How do I call this from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/veo-3.1-fast/run with your API key, the prompt, and duration set to 4. It is the same key and request shape as every other model in the catalog.
