Google's cutting-edge video generation model with superior quality, coherence, and motion. Create stunning videos from text or image inputs.
This model gets stronger as the shot becomes more explicit. Give it a subject, a move, a frame, and a mood so the output feels directed instead of guessed.
Best results start with a directed prompt or a strong first frame.
Google Veo on Pixio is Google's video generation model: text-to-video, image-to-video, first + last frame, and reference images. Create video from a prompt or keyframe(s) with strong quality, coherence, and motion. For the latest Veo 3.1 features (scene extension, first+last frame, extend), see the Veo 3.1 model page; this page is the general Veo entry.

| Mode | Input | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Text to Video | Prompt only | Scenes from scratch |
| Image to Video | One image + prompt | Animating stills |
| First + Last Frame | Two images + prompt (when supported) | Guided motion between keyframes |
| Reference images | One or more references + prompt (when supported) | Style or character consistency |
| Option | Values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tier | Fast, Standard (or higher) | Fast for drafts; Standard for best quality |
| Duration | Depends on variant | Veo 3.1 supports extend; check Pixio |
| Reference | 1–3 images (when supported) | For style or character |
Credits depend on tier (Fast vs Standard) and variant; check the model card in Pixio for current rates.
Veo 3.1 adds scene extension (chain clips to ~148s), first + last frame, reference-to-video, and audio support. If your workflow needs extend or precise frame control, use Veo 3.1. Use this Veo page when you are on a general Veo variant or when Pixio surfaces Veo (non-3.1) as the option.
[Scene] + [Motion] + [Camera] + [Mood]. One clear sentence.
Cinematic:
"A lone figure stands at the edge of a cliff overlooking a vast canyon at sunset. Slow dolly push-in on their silhouette. Golden hour light bathes the landscape in warm tones. Wind gently moves their hair. Dramatic, contemplative mood."
Product:
"A luxury watch rests on a dark velvet tray. Camera slowly circles it, catching the light on the dial and bracelet. Soft studio lighting, shallow depth of field. High-end, close-up, premium product style."
Narrative:
"A woman in a red coat walks through a rainy city street at night. Camera follows from behind at a steady pace. Neon signs reflect on wet pavement. Cinematic, moody, film-noir atmosphere."
| Scenario | Best choice |
|---|---|
| Google video, latest features | Veo 3.1 |
| Google video, general | Veo |
| Cinema-grade, multi-shot | Seedance 2 Pro |
| Quick draft | Kling or Gen-4 Turbo |
| Video-to-video restyle | Gen-4 Aleph or Grok Imagine |
Start with a strong first frame when consistency matters more than surprise.
Keep each prompt focused on one primary motion direction.
Use shorter runs for iteration, then scale up for finals.
For narratives, structure the idea as Shot 1 / Shot 2 / Shot 3 instead of one flat blob.
A strong video prompt gives the scene a subject, a move, camera behavior, and a mood to hold onto.
Start from language and push for camera intent, pacing, atmosphere, and shot design in one move.
Start from a frame or reference when consistency matters more than improvisation.
Continue or refine the clip without throwing away the visual language you already established.
Google Veo works well when the prompt needs motion, framing, and visual direction, not just subject matter.
Use it for sequences that need a strong first frame, continuity, or a clearly controlled camera idea.
Treat each generation like a shot brief instead of a loose caption to get more cinematic outputs.
Start with either a directed text brief or a strong frame, depending on how locked the look already is.
Write the motion like a director: subject, action, camera behavior, environment, lighting, and tone.
Iterate fast on shorter runs, then move to stronger finals once the rhythm feels right.
Use it to build a stronger first frame, then hand that frame to the video model for motion and continuity.
Pair it with frame extraction, merge tools, or image prep so the motion workflow stays clean end to end.
