🎥 Video Generation Performance Optimization

Video generation via Veo 3.1 requires special performance considerations due to longer processing times and larger resource requirements.

Timeout Configuration

Video generation typically takes 1-3 minutes. Configure appropriate timeouts:

import { NeuroLink } from "@juspay/neurolink";

const neurolink = new NeuroLink();

const result = await neurolink.generate({
input: {
text: "Product showcase video",
images: [imageBuffer],
},
provider: "vertex",
model: "veo-3.1",
output: { mode: "video" },
timeout: 180, // 3 minutes (recommended minimum)
});

Polling Strategy

Video generation uses long-polling. Optimize the polling strategy:

// Adjust polling intervals for better performance
const result = await neurolink.generate({
input: { text: "Video prompt", images: [image] },
provider: "vertex",
model: "veo-3.1",
output: {
mode: "video",
video: {
resolution: "720p", // Use 720p for faster generation
length: 4, // Shorter videos generate faster (4s vs 8s)
},
},
// Custom polling configuration (if supported)
pollInterval: 5000, // Check every 5 seconds
maxPolls: 36, // Up to 3 minutes (36 * 5s)
});

Resource Optimization

Resolution vs Speed Trade-off:

ResolutionAvg TimeFile SizeUse Case
720p60-90s~5-10MBSocial media, previews
1080p90-180s~15-30MBProfessional content, demos

Length vs Speed Trade-off:

LengthAvg TimeUse Case
4s60-90sQuick animations, teasers
6s75-120sSocial media posts
8s90-180sProduct showcases, storytelling

Batch Processing Strategy

Process multiple videos efficiently:

import { NeuroLink } from "@juspay/neurolink";
import PQueue from "p-queue";

const neurolink = new NeuroLink();

// Limit concurrent video generations (Vertex AI rate limits)
const queue = new PQueue({ concurrency: 2 });

async function generateVideos(requests: VideoRequest[]) {
const results = await Promise.allSettled(
requests.map((req) =>
queue.add(async () => {
try {
return await neurolink.generate({
input: { text: req.prompt, images: [req.image] },
provider: "vertex",
model: "veo-3.1",
output: {
mode: "video",
video: {
resolution: req.resolution || "720p",
length: req.length || 6,
},
},
timeout: 180,
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Failed to generate video: ${req.id}`, error);
return null;
}
}),
),
);

return results.filter((r) => r.status === "fulfilled" && r.value !== null);
}

Caching Strategy

Video generation is expensive. Implement aggressive caching:

import { createHash } from "crypto";
import { readFile, writeFile, access } from "fs/promises";

// Generate cache key from inputs
function getCacheKey(prompt: string, imageBuffer: Buffer): string {
const hash = createHash("sha256");
hash.update(prompt);
hash.update(imageBuffer);
return hash.digest("hex");
}

async function generateVideoWithCache(prompt: string, image: Buffer) {
const cacheKey = getCacheKey(prompt, image);
const cacheFile = `./cache/videos/${cacheKey}.mp4`;

// Check cache first
try {
await access(cacheFile);
const cached = await readFile(cacheFile);
console.log("✅ Video served from cache");
return { video: { data: cached }, cached: true };
} catch {
// Not in cache, generate new
}

const neurolink = new NeuroLink();
const result = await neurolink.generate({
input: { text: prompt, images: [image] },
provider: "vertex",
model: "veo-3.1",
output: { mode: "video" },
});

// Cache the result
if (result.video) {
await writeFile(cacheFile, result.video.data);
console.log("✅ Video cached for future use");
}

return { ...result, cached: false };
}

Cost Optimization

Best Practices:

  1. Use 720p by default - 30-50% faster, 60% lower cost
  2. Prefer 4-6 second videos - Faster generation, lower cost
  3. Implement aggressive caching - Avoid regenerating identical videos
  4. Batch similar requests - Group by resolution/length for efficiency
  5. Monitor Vertex AI quotas - Set up alerts before hitting limits

Cost Comparison:

720p, 4s, no audio60s1xQuick previews
720p, 6s, audio90s1.5xSocial media
1080p, 8s, audio180s3xProfessional content

Error Handling for Long Operations

import { NeuroLink } from "@juspay/neurolink";

async function robustVideoGeneration(prompt: string, image: Buffer) {
const neurolink = new NeuroLink();
const maxRetries = 2;
let attempt = 0;

while (attempt < maxRetries) {
try {
const result = await neurolink.generate({
input: { text: prompt, images: [image] },
provider: "vertex",
model: "veo-3.1",
output: { mode: "video" },
timeout: 180,
});

return result;
} catch (error) {
attempt++;

if (error.code === "VIDEO_POLL_TIMEOUT" && attempt < maxRetries) {
console.log(`Timeout on attempt ${attempt}, retrying...`);
continue;
}

if (error.code === "VIDEO_QUOTA_EXCEEDED") {
console.error("Quota exceeded. Wait before retrying.");
throw error;
}

throw error;
}
}

throw new Error("Video generation failed after maximum retries");
}

Monitoring Video Generation Performance

type VideoMetrics = {
totalGenerated: number;
avgGenerationTime: number;
cacheHitRate: number;
failureRate: number;
costEstimate: number;
};

class VideoPerformanceMonitor {
private metrics: VideoMetrics = {
totalGenerated: 0,
avgGenerationTime: 0,
cacheHitRate: 0,
failureRate: 0,
costEstimate: 0,
};

recordGeneration(duration: number, cached: boolean, success: boolean) {
this.metrics.totalGenerated++;

if (!cached && success) {
// Update average generation time
const total =
this.metrics.avgGenerationTime * (this.metrics.totalGenerated - 1);
this.metrics.avgGenerationTime =
(total + duration) / this.metrics.totalGenerated;
}

// Update cache hit rate
const cacheHits =
this.metrics.cacheHitRate * (this.metrics.totalGenerated - 1);
this.metrics.cacheHitRate =
(cacheHits + (cached ? 1 : 0)) / this.metrics.totalGenerated;

// Update failure rate
const failures =
this.metrics.failureRate * (this.metrics.totalGenerated - 1);
this.metrics.failureRate =
(failures + (success ? 0 : 1)) / this.metrics.totalGenerated;
}

getMetrics(): VideoMetrics {
return { ...this.metrics };
}
}
