Flux 3 Video vs VEO 3.1 Standard
Generated on PixelDojo. Produced by PixelDojo's generation pipeline.
Flux 3 Video costs 5 credits per second at 720p and VEO 3.1 Standard costs a flat 8 credits per second at any resolution, so Flux 3 Video is the cheaper per-second rate on the tier they share. We sent the same earbuds product still and the same camera-orbit prompt to both on August 26, 2026: Flux 3 Video charged 25 credits for a 5 second clip at 720p and took about 79 seconds, VEO 3.1 Standard charged 32 credits for a 4 second clip at 720p and took about 139 seconds. Flux 3 Video also goes up to 20 seconds in one clip and can extend an existing video, while VEO 3.1 Standard tops out at 8 seconds and only starts from text or a still image. Here is what each file looked like and which one to pick.

Why Choose Pixel Dojo for Flux 3 Video vs VEO 3.1 Standard
Professional-quality results with cutting-edge AI technology
25 credits vs 32 credits
Flux 3 Video's clip ran a full second longer, 5 seconds against 4, and still cost less than VEO 3.1 Standard on the same day.
About 79 seconds vs about 139 seconds
Flux 3 Video finished faster in this run despite rendering more seconds of footage. Queue load varies day to day, so treat both as typical rather than guaranteed.
20 second ceiling vs 8 second ceiling
Flux 3 Video can carry a single continuous shot two and a half times as long as VEO 3.1 Standard's maximum.
How It Works
How we ran the paired test:
Start both from the same still and prompt
The same earbuds product photo and the same camera-orbit prompt went to both models, so the comparison is not confounded by different inputs.
Run each at its cheapest matching setting
Flux 3 Video at 720p for 5 seconds, its minimum duration. VEO 3.1 Standard at 720p for 4 seconds, its shortest available duration, since its price does not change with resolution.
Time and inspect both files
We bracketed each request with a timestamp and read the returned file rather than trusting the label: resolution, frame rate, duration, and whether the audio track was real.
The Pixel Dojo Advantage
Same product still, same camera-orbit prompt, two different video models. The real gap is not just price, it is what each one is built to start from.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about Flux 3 Video vs VEO 3.1 Standard
Which is cheaper, Flux 3 Video or VEO 3.1 Standard?
Flux 3 Video, at 720p. It runs 5 credits per second against VEO 3.1 Standard's flat 8, and our test clip proved it out: 25 credits for 5 seconds on Flux 3 Video against 32 credits for 4 seconds on VEO 3.1 Standard. At 1080p the two land at the same 8 credits per second.
Which one is faster?
Flux 3 Video, in our August 26, 2026 test. It returned a 5 second clip in about 79 seconds. VEO 3.1 Standard took about 139 seconds for a shorter 4 second clip on the same product photo and prompt.
Which one can produce a longer single clip?
Flux 3 Video, by a wide margin. It accepts 5 to 20 seconds for text or image to video. VEO 3.1 Standard is fixed to 4, 6 or 8 seconds and has no option past 8.
Can either model extend or transform an existing video?
Only Flux 3 Video. Pass a source video URL and it runs in video-to-video mode at 10 to 12 credits per second, up to 15 seconds. VEO 3.1 Standard's schema has no video input field at all, it only starts from a text prompt or a still image.
Which should I use?
Use Flux 3 Video when you want the cheaper 720p rate, a clip longer than 8 seconds, or you need to extend or transform a video you already have. Use VEO 3.1 Standard when you need a fixed aspect ratio held exactly even from a square source image, or when you want to steer the look with reference images, which Flux 3 Video's schema does not support.
How do I call either one from the API?
POST to /api/v1/models/flux-3-video/run or /api/v1/models/veo-3.1-standard/run with the same API key and a prompt plus an image input. Both return a job id you poll at /api/v1/jobs/{jobId} until the asset URL arrives.
