Veo 3.1 Enhances Video

Google has released Veo 3.1, the latest iteration of its video model, now accessible through the Gemini API. This update focuses on enhanced realism, improved understanding of prompts, and richer audio integration. Veo 3.1 introduces advanced creative controls, such as using reference images to maintain consistent character and style, extending video clips for longer scenes, and creating seamless transitions using first and last frame guidance. The model generates high-fidelity 1080p videos with synchronized, context-aware audio, realistic motion, and narrative consistency.

Veo 3.1 excels in producing videos that feature realistic textures, and better narrative comprehension. It demonstrates a sharper understanding of prompts, resulting in more natural movements and fewer unexpected transformations. The model also allows for configurable landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) aspect ratios.

Veo 3.1 is engineered to meet the demands of real-world applications and supports high-volume video generation. It is optimized for speed and price, making it suitable for rapid development and high-quality video output. The new model is available with a Google AI Pro subscription.
