KOLO, shot 3
He whispers to the camera so he won't wake the kids: "Kids are still asleep. Real espresso, no fire, no cord." He pumps it, takes a sip from the little cup, closes his eyes and whispers: "Yeah. That's the one." Handheld selfie. Sound: birdsong, lake lapping, his whisper. No music.

Auntie's pepper sauce
Handheld selfie camera with natural wobble. She holds the jar up to the lens and says in a London accent with a Nigerian lilt: "Right. My auntie posted this from Lagos and she said, small small." She twists the lid off, takes one sniff, recoils with watering eyes and says: "Oh no. No, that is dangerous." She laughs and coughs. Sound: kitchen room tone, fridge hum, her laugh. No music.

- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as google/veo-3.1, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need a Google account?
- No. Leap sends your request to Google's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Veo 3.1 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
