Veo 3 resolution options and what they cost
Veo 3 offers 720p and 1080p, and the lower tier costs exactly half:
| Resolution | Credits | At the Enterprise rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 100 | $1.00 |
| 720p | 50 | $0.50 |
What this changes about your loop
Prompt tuning is where the budget goes — you run the same idea five or ten times before one is worth keeping. At 720p those attempts cost half, and the model, the prompt and every other parameter stay identical. Only the final pass needs full resolution.
That is a larger saving than switching to a cheaper model, and it does not change which model you ship with.
{ "model": "veo3", "prompt": "...", "resolution": "720p" }
Default is 1080p, so you have to ask for 720p explicitly.
Aspect ratio is a separate lever, and it is free
aspect_ratio never changes the price on any model —
