Does Lite have a lower resolution ceiling than Fast?
Both offer 720P, 1080P and 4K here. Their credit schedules differ.
Can I turn off audio to lower the quote?
There is no generation-time audio switch for Veo here. You can mute or replace the track when editing.
Can I upload a reference video?
No. Lite’s reference mode accepts images. Choose a supported Seedance or Wan workflow if you need a video reference.
