Operator guidance
Choose Veo 2 over Veo 3 when native audio is not needed and a 12% cost saving matters ($0.35 vs $0.40/s). Output quality is very high; the main differentiator vs Veo 3 is the absence of audio. For audio-required workflows, use Veo 3.
Use cases
- High-quality T2V when audio is not required
- Cost-effective alternative to Veo 3 Standard ($0.35/s vs $0.40/s)
- Image-to-video animation of reference images
Limitations
- No native audio
- Max 8 seconds per clip
- Superseded by Veo 3 for most use cases; the $0.05/s gap may not justify using Veo 2
