Google Veo 3.1 — Text-to-Video (T2V) Model

Veo 3.1 T2V is the latest text-to-video model from Google DeepMind, designed to bring cinematic storytelling to life through text. It generates high-fidelity 1080p videos with synchronized, context-aware audio, realistic motion, and narrative consistency — making it one of the most advanced generative video systems ever released.

Why it stands out

• Cinematic Realism

  Produces natural lighting, smooth camera transitions, and accurate perspective for film-like motion.

• Native Audio Generation

  Generates synchronized ambient sound, dialogue, and music directly aligned with the visuals.

• Dialogue & Lip-Sync

  Supports speaking characters and realistic facial expressions — perfect for storytelling, marketing, or short-form content.

• Subject Consistency (R2V)

  Maintains a character’s or object’s identity across frames using 1–3 reference images.

• Video Interpolation

  Seamlessly animates transitions between two given frames — ideal for smooth start-to-end storytelling.

• Flexible Output

  Supports both 720p and 1080p, at 24 FPS, duration for 4s, 6s, 8s, and in both 16:9 (landscape) and 9:16 (portrait) formats.

Key Parameters

• prompt — Describe your scene or story (e.g., “A drone shot flying over Las Vegas, transitioning from day to night with soft jazz in the background”).

• durationSeconds — Choose video length (4s, 6s, or 8s).

• resolution — 720p or 1080p.

• aspectRatio — Landscape (16:9) or Portrait (9:16).

Pricing (Preview Stage)

Minimum cost: ~$3.20 per clip (based on 8s @ 1080p).

How to Use

1. Write a Prompt

   Describe the desired motion, camera style, lighting, and sound.

   Example: “A cinematic sunset over the ocean, waves glimmering as seagulls fly across the horizon.”

2. Adjust Parameters

   Select duration, resolution (720p/1080p), and aspect ratio.

3. Generate

   Submit your request — Veo 3.1 will render motion, lighting, and synchronized audio.

4. Preview & Download

   Review your video, refine your prompt if needed, then download the final MP4.

Pro Tips

• Keep prompts focused on one main action or subject for better coherence.

• Use camera verbs like “tracking,” “zoom out,” or “handheld” for cinematic control.

• Mention lighting and mood cues (e.g., “under soft moonlight,” “golden-hour glow”).

• Use R2V for character-based storytelling; Interpolation for smooth transitions.

• Avoid conflicting instructions (e.g., “fast zoom” and “slow motion” together).

Notes & Limitations

• Generation time: ~2–3 minutes for an 8-second 1080p clip.

• Frame rate fixed at 24 FPS.

• Advanced controls (R2V, I2V, Interpolation) are mutually exclusive — only one per generation.

• If your prompt is blocked, rewrite it and resubmit (safety thresholds may adjust during preview).
