Verdicts

framefields

A free Apache-2.0 library that renders video from TypeScript on the GPU, with lint and QA codes an agent can act on. It is fifteen days old, called beta, and its Claude Code install command names a plugin directory entry that was not found on 20 October 2026.

Google Veo

Audio on every Veo 3.1 clip, up to 4K on Veo 3.1 and Fast. All three Veo 3.1 previews shut down on the Gemini API on 2026-10-22.

Before you call either

framefields

  1. Add the plugin with /plugin marketplace add gatewai-dev/framefields first; the official-directory install was not found on 20 October 2026.
  2. Approve only the skia-canvas install script, as the getting-started page shows, or imports fail with a missing skia.node.
  3. Check with comp.lint() and renderFrameGrid before a full renderVideo encode.
  4. Call process.exit() after rendering; native GPU threads keep the script alive.
  5. Preload vision models into FRAMEFIELDS_MODELS_DIR for offline or CI renders.

Google Veo

  1. Move off veo-3.1-*-preview before 2026-10-22. Use gemini-omni-1.1-flash on the Gemini API or the GA Veo IDs on Vertex AI
  2. Call predictLongRunning, then poll the operation name about every 10 seconds until done is true. Jobs take 11 seconds to 6 minutes
  3. Download the video within 2 days. The server deletes it after that
  4. Set durationSeconds to 8 for 1080p, 4K or reference images. Shorter clips aren't supported there
  5. In the EU, UK, Switzerland and MENA image-to-video only accepts personGeneration set to allow_adult
