Pricing / credit note
Use the comparison as credit guidance, not a guarantee that every setting will have the same final estimate.
The final Veyloom estimate appears in the generation workspace before task creation.
Higher duration or resolution choices can raise credits when supported by the selected public configuration.
Known limitations
- Model behavior can change as upstream provider availability is updated, so short validation renders are recommended before larger projects.
- Credit estimates depend on selected duration, resolution, and generation mode rather than a single universal model price.
- Audio support is model-specific and should be checked on the selected model before publishing a final clip.
Prompt examples
Prompt 1: Product reveal
Use case: product shot
Prompt: A matte black smartwatch rises from a reflective surface, slow orbit camera, blue rim light, crisp product-ad motion.
Expected result: A concise product clip that can be compared across models.
Prompt 2: Desert scene
Use case: cinematic scene
Prompt: A lone rider crosses a desert road at sunset, wide cinematic shot, dust trail, slow drone pullback, warm film grain.
Expected result: A film-style test with clear camera and scene direction.
Prompt 3: Fast hook
Use case: social hook
Prompt: Vertical video, sneaker lands in a burst of colored powder, fast push-in, sharp fabric detail, energetic ad lighting.
Expected result: A vertical opening clip for testing scroll-stop potential.
Prompt 4: Character motion
Use case: character movement
Prompt: A dancer turns slowly under a single spotlight, fabric flowing naturally, medium shot, controlled camera move.
Expected result: A movement test focused on natural body motion.
Prompt 5: Neon atmosphere
Use case: environment or atmosphere
Prompt: Rainy cyberpunk alley, neon signs reflecting in puddles, steam drifting, slow handheld camera, moody realistic lighting.
Expected result: A mood-forward clip for atmosphere evaluation.
Who should choose which
Choose Sora 2 when you need higher-impact cinematic prompt tests and its visible settings match the planned output.

FAQ
Which should I choose between Sora 2 and Veo 3.1 Fast?
Choose based on workflow fit, speed tier, audio support, duration options, resolution, and the credit estimate shown before generation.
Are the credits fixed for every prompt?
No. Credits can change with model, mode, duration, resolution, and output count when those settings are supported.
Should I test before a final render?
Yes. Run a short draft first when model behavior, motion stability, or audio support is critical.

Comparison
| Model | Mode | Base credits | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sora 2 | text to video | 80 | Text to video / Manual review / Audio |
| Veo 3.1 Fast | text to video | 40 | Text to video / Fast / Audio |
Recommendation
Sora 2 is the stronger fit when the brief needs a higher-impact cinematic prompt test and the team can tolerate a higher credit level.
Veo 3.1 Fast is the more practical fit when speed, repeatable draft iteration, and lower relative credit use matter more than maximum cinematic ambition.
For campaign work, test the same short prompt in both models first, then choose the model whose motion stability, audio behavior, and visible settings match the final deliverable.
