  4. Final Verdict: Pick Your Poison

VEO 3.1 - The Creative Toy

The Good:

  • Stunning 1080p visuals.

  • Rich, native audio generation.

  • Great for concept art and mood boards.

The Brutal Truth:

  • Short clips only (5-8 seconds).

  • No editing suite – you get raw files.

  • Extremely expensive – hidden behind premium tiers.

  • It’s a fantasy generator, not a practical tool.

Opus Clip: Social Media Ready

The Good:

  • Auto-reframes vertical clips.

  • Finds “engaging” moments.

The Brutal Truth:

  • Mangles your message – awkward cuts, lost context.

  • Generic output – your content looks like everyone else’s.

  • Clunky editor – forces you into other apps.

  • A factory for forgettable clips.
