Veo is the most powerful video generation model to date, generating high-quality 1080p resolution videos over a minute in length in a wide range of cinematic and visual styles.
It gives you an unprecedented level of creative control, precisely capturing the nuance and tone of your prompts, and understanding prompts for all kinds of cinematic effects, including time lapses and landscape aerial shots.
Our video generation model helps create tools that make video production accessible to everyone. Whether you're a seasoned filmmaker, an aspiring creative, or an educator looking to share your knowledge, Veo opens up new possibilities for storytelling, education, and more.
Over the coming weeks, some of these features will be rolling out to select creators through VideoFX, a new experimental tool in labs.google. You can join the waitlist now.
In the future, we plan to bring some of Veo's features to YouTube Shorts and other products.
Developing verbal and visual comprehension
To generate coherent scenes, a generative video model must accurately interpret text prompts and combine this information with relevant visual references.
With a deep understanding of natural language and visual semantics, Veo generates videos that closely follow your prompts, accurately capturing the nuance and tone of your phrasing and rendering the intricate details of complex scenes.
Filmmaking Control
Given both an input video and an editing command, such as adding a kayak to an aerial photo of a coastline, Veo can apply this command to the first video and create a new edited video.
What's more, it supports mask editing, allowing you to add mask areas to your video and text prompts, allowing you to make changes to specific areas of your video.
Veo can also generate videos using images as input along with text prompts. By providing a reference image in combination with a text prompt, Veo is conditioned to generate a video that follows the style of the image and the instructions of the user prompt.
The model can also create video clips and extend them beyond 60 seconds. This can be done from a single prompt or by being given a series of prompts that together tell a story.
Consistency between video frames
Maintaining visual consistency can be a challenge for video generative models: characters, objects, or entire scenes may flicker, jump, or morph unpredictably between frames, disrupting the viewing experience.
Veo's cutting edge Latent Diffusion Transformer reduces the appearance of these inconsistencies, keeping characters, objects, and styles in their proper place just as they would in the real world.
Built on years of video generation research
Veo builds on years of research on generative video models, including Generative Query Network (GQN), DVD-GAN, Imagen-Video, Phenaki, WALT, VideoPoet, and Lumiere, as well as the Transformer architecture and Gemini.
We've added more detail to the captions for each video in our training data to help Veo understand and follow prompts more accurately. To further improve performance, the model also uses a higher-quality, compressed representation of the video (also known as a latent representation), which makes it more efficient. These steps improve the overall quality and reduce the time it takes to generate the videos.
Responsible design
It's vital that technology like Veo is delivered to the world responsibly. Videos created with Veo are watermarked using SynthID, a cutting-edge tool for watermarking and identifying AI-generated content, and go through safety filters and memory check processes that mitigate the risks of privacy, copyright and bias.
The future of Veo depends on collaborating with leading creators and filmmakers, whose feedback helps us improve our generative video technology to benefit the entire creative community and beyond.
