Why are videos only 8 seconds long?
Eight seconds is the maximum the Veo 3.1 model supports in reference image mode, so Video Duration is locked at 8 seconds for 5 credits.

The Video Duration field is locked at 8 seconds (5 credits) because that is the maximum the Veo 3.1 model supports for reference image mode.
Eight seconds suits product pages well: long enough to show the product from several angles, short enough to loop smoothly in a media gallery without slowing shoppers down.
