Introduction

Discover how Google Veo 3.1 advances AI video generation with enhanced realism, audio integration, and creative control. This guide walks you through what the model is, how it works within the imagineArt AI Suite, when to use it, and how it compares to other models.


What is Google Veo 3.1?

Veo 3.1 is the latest version of Google's Veo video-generation model. It extends the capabilities of Google Veo 3 by improving prompt responsiveness, visual fidelity, and audio integration. In addition to high-resolution output and native sound, Veo 3.1 delivers fluid motion, deeper textures, and a more natural rhythm across angles and actions, making each sequence feel smoother and more coherent.


What makes Veo 3.1 different?

Veo 3.1 introduces new features that provide creators with more control over how subjects appear and move within a scene. The model includes a multi-reference system, allowing you to upload up to three images of a character or object. This enables the model to interpret the subject from various angles and supports dynamic camera movement, including 360° rotations. Additionally, it features improved interpolation, enhancing transitions between frames for more fluid motion and visual consistency.

These upgrades make Veo 3.1 especially effective for sequences that involve close-up action, tracked movement, or style continuity. It excels across different aesthetics and responds reliably to detailed prompts.

Prompt tips for Google Veo 3.1 + Visual examples

Veo 3.1 responds best to clear, detailed prompts that describe the scene, mood, and motion you want to generate. The more specific you are with visual elements and tone, the better the model can match your intent. Below are some practical tips to help you get consistent, high-quality results:

  • Be specific in your prompt: mention camera angle, lighting, motion style, and audio cues.

  • Use reference images for consistent character look or style continuity.

  • Leverage first and last frame uploads to control scene progression or transformation.

  • Start with simple scenes, then increase complexity as you refine your inputs.

Example 1

Prompt:

Wide shot: A woman sits on a sandy beach, engrossed in a book. The camera gently pans from left to right, capturing the serene waves and distant hills. Soft sunlight bathes the scene, enhancing the tranquil ambiance.

Example 2

Prompt:

[Opening Cut] Wide Shot — A vibrant cycling class fills the frame as enthusiastic participants pedal energetically — the camera glides laterally to capture their smiles and determination — bright, natural light floods through large windows, creating an uplifting atmosphere. [Final Cut] Close-Up — Focus on the lead cyclist's joyful expression as she laughs, pushing through the workout — the camera pushes in, emphasizing her contagious energy — warm tones enhance the sense of camaraderie and motivation. Voice-over: "Let's go!"

Example 3

Prompt:

Tracking shot: A middle-aged couple walks side by side along a quiet coastal road, colorful seaside cottages behind them and a vibrant turquoise sea in the background. The camera moves smoothly alongside them at a medium distance, capturing their casual conversation as they exchange short lines with soft smiles. Warm golden sunlight bathes the scene, enhancing the nostalgic, summery vibe. Their expressions are relaxed and natural, as if lost in shared memories. The atmosphere is calm and heartfelt, like a moment from a romantic drama. Shot in 35mm film style with subtle film grain for a vintage cinematic touch.
