Meet Google Veo

Google Veo suits creators and developers who want short AI video with matching sound effects, ambience and dialogue. Version 3.1 adds reference images, scene extension, first and last frame control and up to 4K output. Check each clip carefully, because the page notes that short spoken segments are still being refined.

A practical workflow

  1. Write one short scene with a clear subject and camera move
  2. Generate a draft clip in a lower-cost mode
  3. Review motion, audio and any visible text
  4. Refine the prompt or extend the scene

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

A slow dolly shot through a rainy night market, vendors calling out, steam rising from food stalls, cinematic lighting.

Result check: Check hands, text, audio sync and continuity, and watch the whole clip before publishing.

Access and alternatives

Veo is offered through the Gemini app, Flow, Google Vids, Google AI Studio and the Gemini API. In the Gemini API, Veo 3.1 is listed as not available on the free tier and is charged per second of generated video, with standard and fast options. App access depends on your Google plan.
