Google Veo 3.1 — Reference-to-Video Model

Veo 3.1 Reference-to-Video brings static images to life by combining visual reference consistency with cinematic motion generation. Powered by Google DeepMind’s next-generation Veo 3.1 architecture, this model transforms up to three reference images into coherent 5-second videos with smooth motion, accurate visual alignment, and synchronized native audio.

🌟 Key Features

🧠 Multi-Image Reference Support

• Accepts up to three reference images to define the subject, environment, or style.
• Maintains consistent identity, lighting, and appearance across frames.
• Ideal for animating people, objects, or scenes with reliable fidelity.

🎬 Cinematic Video Generation

• Produces 5-second motion clips at 1080p or 720p resolution.
• Adds camera dynamics such as panning, zooming, or subtle perspective drift.
• Supports synchronized audio generation, matching dialogue or ambient context.

💡 Smart Prompt Adherence

• Interprets both text instructions and visual cues for precise motion storytelling.
• Automatically harmonizes character interactions, props, and backgrounds.

⚙️ Capabilities

• Input:

  • Up to 3 reference images (JPEG / PNG / WEBP)
  • Text prompt describing motion, action, and scene context

• Output:

🧩 How to Use

1. Upload up to 3 reference images — define the subject, object, or visual style.
2. Write a text prompt — describe the action, setting, and camera motion.
3. (Optional) Add a negative prompt to remove unwanted details.
4. Choose resolution (720p or 1080p).
5. (Optional) Enable audio generation for synchronized sound.
6. Click Run to generate your 5-second cinematic video.

💡 Best Practices

• Use clear, well-lit reference images with similar styles and proportions.
• Keep prompts concise but specific (e.g., “The man in image 1 waves to the penguins in image 2 under bright sunlight”).
• Avoid overly complex scenarios with many characters or fast movement.
• Enable audio for more immersive storytelling results.

📝 Notes

• Ensure uploaded images are valid and accessible URLs or uploaded locally.
• If the output looks unstable, reduce reference count or simplify the prompt.
• Follow Google’s content safety rules; modify the prompt if flagged.
• For best performance, prefer portrait-oriented subjects and balanced lighting.
