Veo 3.1 guide
Everything you can do with Veo 3.1
Veo 3.1 is Google’s video model, available in the Nano Banana AI studio for cinematic text to video and image-guided clips. This guide explains its format, strengths, and when to choose it over other models.
What Veo 3.1 is built for
Veo 3.1 produces clips of 4, 6, or 8 seconds at 720p, 1080p, or 4K, in 16:9, 9:16, or auto framing. Quality, fast, and lite variants trade fidelity against cost, and clips include background audio by default. It is strong on naturalistic motion, lighting, and scene composition, which suits cinematic prompts and product shots.
Text to Video works from a prompt alone. First-and-last-frame mode takes one or two images, and reference mode takes one to three images on the fast and lite variants, where clips are eight seconds long.
Cinematic look
Natural lighting and believable physics.
Four, six, or eight seconds
Short, predictable clip lengths that are easy to plan around.
Up to three images
Guide subject and style with a small reference set, or set a first and last frame.
Prompting Veo 3.1
Lead with the scene and the lighting, then the camera. "Golden-hour light across a desert road, a vintage car approaches, low tracking shot" plays to Veo’s strengths. Because clips are at most eight seconds, write for a single beat rather than a sequence of events.
Veo 3.1 compared with Muse Video
Pick Veo 3.1 for quick, realistic drafts in a short-clip format. Pick Seedance 2.5 when you need longer clips or heavy reference control. Because both are in the same studio, you can render a draft on Veo and move to Seedance 2.5 once the idea is settled.
