Veo
Google · High-fidelity AI video.
Veo is Google's text-to-video model, known for strong realism and smooth motion. Like Sora, you describe a scene and get a short clip — Veo often shines on lifelike detail and prompt understanding.
What it's great at
Realistic motion and detail in short clips. Following a descriptive prompt closely. Polished, believable footage for concepts, ads, and b-roll-style shots.
How to prompt it well
- Be concrete about subject, motion, environment, and camera.
- Name the style and lens ('handheld documentary', 'drone shot', 'macro').
- One clear action per clip; chain clips for a sequence.
- Iterate — small wording changes can noticeably shift the result.
Common mistakes
Cramming too much into one prompt, or expecting long, perfectly consistent scenes — current video AI works best in short, focused shots.
Quick start
Try this: 'Close-up of morning coffee being poured into a clear glass, steam rising, soft window light, shallow depth of field.'
