Is 1080p noticeable compared to 720p?

Yes. Veo 3.1 1080p output can show more detail, especially for close-ups, product shots, and content viewed on larger screens.

Can I upscale Sora 2 output?

You can use AI upscaling tools, but a 1080p generation from Veo 3.1 starts with more real detail than upscaled 720p content.

Which model costs more credits?

Veo 3.1 1080p typically costs more credits per generation due to higher computational demand. Check the pricing page for current rates.
