## Which one, for what

### framefields (C)

Good for: Coding agents that write motion graphics, data stories, title cards and 3D product shots as code and render them locally or on their own GPU.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 61 against 45
- Schema & documentation, 77 against 71
- Agent ergonomics, 74 against 64
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 20
- Maintenance & community, 89 against 77

Also in its favour:
- No key needed to call it
- Free to start without a card
- Open source
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.5 against 2.5 out of 5

Watch for: First published on 5 October 2026 and declared beta

### Google Veo (C)

Good for: Teams already on Google Cloud who want sound with every clip and a choice between cheap (Lite) and top quality (Veo 3.1, 4K).

Ahead on:
- Security & auth, 78 against 45
- Transparency & trust, 75 against 39

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install

Watch for: All three Veo 3.1 previews shut down on the Gemini API on 2026-10-22

## 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`
