CapyFrame vs Veo 3.1: make a clip or manage the whole video?
Veo 3.1 generates short videos with native audio and supports portrait output, extensions, frame-specific generation, and reference images. CapyFrame adds the planning, editing, approval, and delivery workflow around those clips.
CapyFrame is free to start and hosted in your browser. Work from a brief, review the plan, and export from one workspace without installing Node, npm, Chrome, or FFmpeg.

Compare the complete workflow
CapyFrame and Veo 3.1 compared by generation, planning, editing, and delivery responsibilities.
| Capability | CapyFrame | Veo 3.1 |
|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Coordinate a complete video project from brief to export | Generate short videos with native audio |
| Planning | Edit a structured plan before scenes are built | Prompt and model settings guide each generation |
| Inputs | Briefs, assets, brand settings, voice, and captions | Text prompts and up to three reference images, depending on the API path |
| Timing | Scene durations, captions, voice alignment, and validated export | Short generated clips, extensions, and first/last-frame direction |
| Delivery | Hosted preview, project persistence, and MP4 export | Access and output options depend on Gemini API, Flow, or another Google product |
| Setup | No local video toolchain required | API use requires Google's developer setup; consumer access varies by product |

Questions teams ask
Is Veo 3.1 included in CapyFrame?
CapyFrame's workflow is model-agnostic. Veo 3.1 access is provided by Google's products and APIs; CapyFrame does not claim to bundle or resell it.
Is CapyFrame free?
CapyFrame has a Free plan and is free to start. Paid plans add capacity for AI credit, storage, voice, exports, and longer videos.
Can Veo 3.1 create vertical video?
Google's Veo 3.1 API documentation lists portrait 9:16 output. Availability and limits depend on the Google product or API route you use.
Why use CapyFrame after generation?
CapyFrame keeps the brief, scene structure, assets, voice, captions, review, and export together so a single generated clip does not have to become the whole production process.
