Veo 3.1
best audio engineering, overtaken by its own stablemate
still the best-sounding model here and the only route to two and a half minutes of continuous output — but google's own omni flash beats it on quality at a quarter of the price.
veo 3.1's audio is genuinely the best engineered on this list: 48khz, with dialogue lip-synced properly, effects and ambience. if the output is going anywhere near a professional audio chain, that number matters.
video extension is its other real advantage. native generations are four, six or eight seconds, but chaining up to twenty extensions gets you to roughly 148 seconds of continuous video — far beyond anything else here, all of which cap out between ten and twenty seconds.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
