Veo 3.1 AI Video Generator
Create cinematic AI video with native dialogue, sound effects, first-and-last-frame control, and output up to 4K. The Veo 3.1 AI video generator just below lets you create from a prompt, an image, a pair of frames or supported references.
Try Veo 3.1 online
The full MuseGen video workspace is built in here with Veo 3.1 already selected. You can still try other variants or change models and keep the rest of your setup.
You need an account to generate, and credits depend on the model, variant, length, resolution and other settings you choose. Credits for failed tasks come back automatically.
Veo 3.1 explained: what it is and when to use it
Know where Veo 3.1 fits before you invest time in references, prompts and renders at full resolution.
Veo 3.1 is aimed at directors, marketing teams and screen storytellers who want lifelike motion and usable sound. It pairs close prompt adherence with first-frame and last-frame guidance, so a shot opens and closes on compositions you chose instead of leaving the visual arc to luck.
For directors, ad agencies, product film crews, previs artists and social video creators, the real benefit is not one headline score. It is how Veo 3.1 pairs Text to video, image to video, first and last frame with Text prompts plus as many as two frame images. That pairing decides whether the model can hold on to a visual direction you have prepared, or has to imagine most of the scene from words.
Here, research and production happen in the same place. Read the official specs, look through the source material, use the prompt structure, then create in the built-in generator. It opens on Veo 3.1, and everything else MuseGen offers — uploads, progress, history, reuse and downloads — is still there.

Product launch spots
Build controlled reveals and transitions by pinning the first and final compositions to product frames.
Vertical social ads
Produce native 9:16 shots with speech and effects for Shorts, Reels, TikTok and mobile-first ads.
World-building tests

Making a video with Veo 3.1, step by step
Take an idea from first prompt to a configured Veo 3.1 render without leaving the model page.
1
Write the shot
Write a prompt covering the subject, action, setting, camera, look, pacing and audio. Got references? Upload them and say what each one is there for.
2
Set up Veo 3.1
Leave Veo 3.1 selected, pick the variant, mode, length, frame shape, resolution and audio options that suit the shot, then look at the credit cost displayed.
3
Render, check, reuse
Start the job, watch it progress beside the generator, check the finished clip, then reuse the same settings for a fresh attempt or download the file.
What sets the Veo 3.1 AI video generator apart
The core capabilities that decide how Veo 3.1 deals with direction, references, movement, audio and final delivery.
Native sound in the same pass
Speech, ambience, score and effects arrive with the picture, so timing and action are planned as one audiovisual shot.
Control over the first and last frame
Pin the opening and the ending with images to build transitions, product reveals, morphs and precisely framed camera moves.
Output as high as 4K
Use 720p while iterating, 1080p for day-to-day delivery, or 4K when a big screen needs the extra detail.
Fast or Quality tier
Explore cheaply with Fast, then step up to Quality when accuracy, prompt adherence and final polish matter most.
Negative prompts and seeds
List what must stay out of frame, and lock a seed to keep a series of creative attempts more consistent.
Follows cinematic direction
Cover lens feel, framing, movement, light, acting and audio cues in a single production-style prompt.
Prompting Veo 3.1 for video you can control
A good Veo 3.1 prompt reads like a short production brief: a subject, actions in order, a camera plan, an art direction and a soundtrack.
Prompt template you can reuse
Subject + actions in order + setting + camera + lighting + look + timing + dialogue and sound + what must stay consistent
Sample Veo 3.1 prompt
“A slow, steady 50mm dolly glides past a frosted glass candle jar on a dark walnut shelf. Soft morning light warms the glass as the camera curves toward a centred hero framing. Gentle room tone, a faint crackle of the wick and a low, warm synth pad; no voice-over.”
Describe the shot, not just the subject
Include framing, lens feel, camera motion, what the subject does, the setting, the light and the final look.
Direct the audio too
Write dialogue word for word, then layer in ambience, foley, a music cue and any beats that should be silent.
Treat frames as fixed anchors
Upload clean first and last images of the same subject whenever composition and continuity have to stay tight.
Veo 3.1 modes, reference options and output settings
Choose the tier and format that match your stage of the project. Draft settings help you find the shot; premium settings finish a direction that is already working.

Working within what generative video can do
AI video behaves best when each prompt carries one clear visual idea. Check the important details before you publish, and treat a first render as a directed take you can improve.
Busy interactions between several characters, fast objects crossing the frame, legible lettering, brand marks, fingers and exact counts of things can still change from take to take. Lean on clear references, keep crowded action simple and check continuity frame by frame.
More pixels are no substitute for art direction. Nail the story beat, framing, motion and sound on an inexpensive setting first, then move the best version up to a premium tier or a higher resolution.
Veo 3.1 AI video generator: your questions answered
What kind of model is Veo 3.1?
Veo 3.1 is an AI video generation model from Google DeepMind. Veo 3.1 is aimed at directors, marketing teams and screen storytellers who want lifelike motion and usable sound. It pairs close prompt adherence with first-frame and last-frame guidance, so a shot opens and closes on compositions you chose instead of leaving the visual arc to luck. On MuseGen the full generator sits right here, letting you go from reading about the model to creating with it without switching workspaces.
What generation modes are available in Veo 3.1?
Veo 3.1 offers Text to video, image to video, first and last frame. That means you can begin from a written idea, fix the first frame with a picture, or bring in extra references when the layout, the identity or the motion needs tighter control.
What lengths and resolutions does Veo 3.1 offer?
Clips run 4, 6 or 8 seconds, with output at 720p, 1080p or 4K. Use a lower resolution while you explore ideas, then switch to the highest sensible resolution once you are ready to judge fine detail or hand the shot over.
Does Veo 3.1 produce sound?
Veo 3.1 handles Native speech, background sound, score and effects. Write speech, room tone, score and sound effects into the prompt on purpose so the soundtrack backs up the on-screen action and the emotional pace of the scene.
Which files can the Veo 3.1 AI video generator accept?
It takes Text prompts plus as many as two frame images. For references it supports A first frame, with an optional last frame. Tell the prompt what each uploaded file is for rather than hoping the model guesses which image governs identity, style, composition or motion.
Who is Veo 3.1 best suited to?
Veo 3.1 suits directors, ad agencies, product film crews, previs artists and social video creators especially well. The right pick still comes down to the individual shot: use the official specs, features, examples and prompt tips on this page to judge whether its mix of control, pace, resolution, audio and references fits the job.
How can I get better results from a Veo 3.1 prompt?
A dependable prompt covers the subject, the action, the place, the camera, the light, the look, the timing and the sound. List events in the order they happen, put exact dialogue in quotes, and say what has to stay consistent. If you upload references, name each one.
Can I generate with Veo 3.1 right here?
Yes. The complete Veo 3.1 generator is built into this page just below the hero. Pick text, an image, two frames or references as needed, set the available options, check the credit cost shown, and start generating without ever leaving this page.
