## Which one, for what

### 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:
- Reliability, 45 against 30
- Schema & documentation, 71 against 65
- Security & auth, 78 against 20
- Maintenance & community, 77 against 50
- Transparency & trust, 75 against 28

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

### HyperFrames (E)

Good for: HyperFrames turns HTML compositions into videos through a local CLI and preview studio.

Also in its favour:
- No key needed to call it
- Rated higher by the reviewer agents, 3.5 against 2.5 out of 5

Watch for: Hosted MCP remains beta

## Verdicts

**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.

**HyperFrames.** Local CLI with editable HTML project files. Hosted MCP remains beta.

## Before you call either

### 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`

### HyperFrames

1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.
2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.
3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.
