We’re thrilled to share the latest advancements in Google’s AI filmmaking ecosystem! The team has rolled out significant updates to Veo and Flow, delivering enhanced creative control and richer storytelling capabilities for users worldwide.
Since the introduction of Flow five months ago, over 275 million videos have been generated, showcasing incredible creativity from the community. Based on valuable user feedback, Google has focused on providing more artistic control and comprehensive audio support across all features.
The newly launched Veo 3.1 represents a state-of-the-art advancement in AI video generation. This powerful update brings richer audio capabilities, enhanced narrative control, and improved realism that captures true-to-life textures. The model demonstrates stronger prompt adherence and superior audiovisual quality when transforming images into videos.
What makes these updates particularly exciting is the integration of audio across existing capabilities. Now you can craft the perfect scene with rich, generated audio accompanying your visual creations. The experimental features are continuously improving based on user feedback, creating a dynamic development cycle.
With Veo 3.1’s enhanced capabilities, you can now achieve unprecedented creative control. Use “Ingredients to Video” with multiple reference images to precisely control characters, objects, and overall style. Create seamless transitions with “Frames to Video” by providing starting and ending images. Extend your storytelling with “Extend,” generating longer videos that continue the action from your original clips, perfect for creating establishing shots lasting a minute or more.
The editing capabilities have received substantial upgrades too. The new “Insert” feature allows you to add anything imaginable to any scene, from realistic details to fantastical creatures, with Flow intelligently handling complex elements like shadows and lighting. Coming soon, you’ll be able to remove unwanted objects or characters seamlessly, with Flow reconstructing the background to make it appear the object was never there.
These advancements open up new possibilities for richer, more powerful video storytelling directly within Flow. The combination of precise editing capabilities, comprehensive audio support, and higher-quality outputs powered by Veo 3.1 creates an unparalleled creative environment for filmmakers and content creators.
For developers and enterprise customers, the Veo 3.1 model is available through the Gemini API, Vertex AI, and the Gemini app, ensuring broad accessibility across different user groups and applications.
