Google Veo 3.1 Fast Video Generation

What It Solves

In short-video generation workflows, hand-rolled scripts quickly become a mess of API key handling, file uploads, async polling, and error recovery. veo 3.1 fast turns Google Veo 3.1 Fast generation into a focused CLI workflow, useful when you need fast short-video drafts from text or image prompts and want outputs that can be handed to review or editing pipelines.

How The Skill Works

The skill is a thin client over the dLazy hosted API. Key steps include:
- Authentication: requests require a dLazy API key, configured through the CLI or supplied via DLAZY_API_KEY; keys are scoped to your dLazy organization and can be rotated or revoked from the dashboard.
- Generation: invoke dlazy veo-3.1-fast, sending prompts and parameters to the dLazy API endpoint; local file paths are uploaded to dLazy media storage so the model can read them.
- Async handling: when --no-wait is used, the response returns an empty outputs array plus a task.generateId, which can be polled with dlazy status --wait.
- Error handling: explicit codes cover unauthorized access, missing parameters, local file read failures, insufficient balance or server errors, and asynchronous generation failures.

Boundaries And Caveats

• It is not a local or offline generator; inference happens through dLazy's cloud service, and uploads and hosted outputs follow the dLazy SaaS flow.
• It depends on a valid dLazy API key and account balance; insufficient_balance should prompt the user to recharge, while unauthorized means a valid key must be configured.
• It fits short-video drafts, prompt iteration, and pre-generating assets, but it is not suitable for fully private, no-upload, or strictly offline audit environments.
