Overview

What it can do Veo 3.1

Veo 3.1 is Google’s flagship video model and one of the best in the world. It generates videos with sound right away: speech is lip-synced, while footsteps, wind, and music play exactly where they should. Camera moves like a real operator’s, lighting is cinematic, and there is a 4K mode. Great for ads, music videos, and short stories..

Tips specifically for this model

Describe the scene, camera movement, and sound in separate phrases. Put the character’s lines in quotes — Veo will voice them.
Write the line in quotes after «says:» — this is how the model understands it is speech.
Describe the audio separately: «sound — …». Without this, the model invents it on its own.
Camera movement in one word: «zoom in», «zoom out», «orbit», «static».

Ad with voiceover

Morning, bright kitchen. A young woman in a white t-shirt takes a sip of coffee, looks into the camera, and says: «Now life can begin». Camera slowly zooms in. Soft sunlight through the window, audio: birds chirping and gentle cup clatter.

Result: 8-second video with synchronized speech Try it →

Cinematic shot

Aerial shot: a drone flies over a misty coniferous forest at dawn, sunlight breaking through the fog, mountains in the distance. The camera smoothly ascends. Sound: wind and distant birds. Cinematic color grading.

Result: Epic fly-through for an intro Try it →

Photo animation

The person in the photo turns to the camera, smiles and waves. Light breeze in the hair, background slightly blurred. The camera is static.

Tested in AskMeAI studio

What not to do

Mistakes that ruin the result

With Veo 3.1

Avoid long dialogues: only one or two short lines fit into 8 seconds.
Do not cram multiple scenes into one clip — one scene, one action.
Do not waste it on drafts: use Veo 3.1 Fast and Lite for tests.
Durations other than 4, 6, and 8 seconds
Leniency toward people: Google will reject some selfies

General rules for video

Avoid describing multiple actions in a row in a short clip.
Do not ask for crowds and readable text — they fall apart in motion.
When animating a photo, do not retell what is in it — describe the movement.
Do not change the scene within a 5-second clip.
