Create a video with Veo 3.1

Veo 3.1 is the model to reach for when realism is the point: physics that hold, lighting that breathes, and the option of synchronized audio inside the clip itself.

Choose it for realism

Product shots, realistic skits, cinematic landscapes — Veo 3.1 produces footage that reads as filmed rather than generated. It is the most expensive model per clip, so spend it on the shots where realism pays.

Prompt like a director

Describe the shot, the light and the motion: "handheld close-up, warm sunset light, shallow depth of field." Concrete cinematography words steer the model far better than adjectives like "beautiful".

Mix it with cheaper models

A smart pipeline uses fast models for drafts and Veo 3.1 for the final render of the scenes that matter. Your credits go where the audience is actually looking.

Takeaway

Draft cheap, render final shots with Veo 3.1, and write prompts like camera directions.
