    What is Veo 3.1?

    Veo 3.1 is a video generation model from Google DeepMind, the AI research lab at Google. Google calls it its leading video model and offers it in its own products, such as the Gemini app and the Flow filmmaking tool, and to developers through its API. Veo turns a text prompt, or a still used as the starting frame, into a short clip, and it generates sound along with the picture.

    Veo is best known for realistic, detailed footage with sound built in. Google says it can add sound effects, ambient noise and dialogue in the same generation. It also offers ways to steer a shot, such as reference images for characters and objects, first and last frames, and camera controls. That makes it a good fit for establishing shots, product moments and short scenes where natural sound helps sell the image.

    Veo 3.1 was available in Cinemagiq until October 2026 and is no longer offered. For similar sound-on work, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash is also made by Google and generates dialogue and ambience with every clip, up to 4K. Seedance 2.5 adds optional sound and runs up to 30 seconds in one generation. MiniMax H3 always generates sound and outputs 768p, 2K or 4K. All three are in the Video tab of the Generation Studio.

    Best for

    • Establishing shots with natural ambience
    • Short scenes that need sound in the first pass
    • Realistic product and lifestyle moments

    Watch-outs

    • Not available in Cinemagiq
    • Clips are short, so longer scenes are built shot by shot
    • Spoken lines and fine details such as hands or on-screen text may need several takes

    Prompt tips for Veo 3.1

    • Write the shot like a script line: subject, action, setting, camera move and lighting, in that order.
    • Describe the sound in its own sentence, for example the room tone, a specific effect, or a short line of dialogue in quotes.
    • Keep one main action per clip. For a longer scene, plan several short shots and keep the character and wardrobe wording identical across them.
