Create Cinematic AI Videos with Frame-Level Control

Veo 3.1 introduces director-level creative controls that didn't exist before. The headline features: keyframe control lets you define exact start and end frames (finally, precise transitions); multi-image references maintain consistent styling across your video (essential for branded content); native audio generation with synchronized sound effects (no more silent AI videos); the ability to extend videos beyond 8 seconds; and improved character consistency across scenes. This is Google DeepMind's most advanced video model, designed for professional creative work that demands control and quality.

Upload two images: one for how you want your video to start, one for how it should end. The AI generates the motion and transition between them. Think of it as setting bookends—you control the critical moments, the system handles the physics and motion in between. Perfect for creating specific transitions (like morphing between two products), ensuring your video ends on a particular frame (your logo, a CTA), or controlling narrative pacing. This level of precision was impossible with earlier text-only video generators.

Multi-image references let you upload 1-3 images that guide the overall aesthetic of your generated video—color palette, lighting style, character design, or art direction. Use cases: brand content that needs to match established visual guidelines, character-driven series where you need the same protagonist across multiple videos, or any project where consistent styling matters more than random AI interpretation. The model learns from your references and applies that style DNA throughout the generation, giving you creative control without requiring frame-by-frame direction.

Yes, native audio is generated automatically and synchronized with your visuals. The audio engine creates contextually appropriate sounds—dialogue matching mouth movements, ambient environmental effects, footsteps synchronized with walking, object interactions. Quality is legitimately usable for professional work; it's not placeholder audio. This eliminates the separate audio editing workflow that plagued earlier AI video tools. You can still add your own audio in post-production if needed, but most users find the native audio sufficient for social media, presentations, and even some commercial applications.

After your initial video generates, use the extend feature to continue the action naturally. The system analyzes your existing video and generates a seamless continuation that maintains visual consistency, motion logic, and narrative flow. Unlike stitching separate clips together, this creates smooth extensions without jarring transitions. Useful for longer storytelling, complex actions that need time to develop, or any content where 8 seconds feels rushed. You can extend multiple times to build longer sequences while preserving coherence.

Human brains are incredibly sensitive to faces and character features—even small inconsistencies break immersion. Character consistency ensures your protagonist doesn't morph between frames or suddenly change appearance mid-scene. Essential for: serialized content where viewers need to recognize recurring characters, brand mascots that must maintain visual identity, and any narrative work where character recognition drives the story. Upload character reference images and the model locks in their features, keeping them recognizable throughout the entire video.

Three reasons: instant access (no waitlists or approval processes), simple credit-based pricing (pay only for what you generate, no subscriptions), and a streamlined interface optimized specifically for video creation. Official access through Google often involves application queues, usage restrictions, or integration into larger tool suites. We provide direct access to the Veo 3.1 model with all advanced features—keyframes, multi-image references, extensions, audio—immediately available. Start creating in minutes, not weeks.

Absolutely. Every generated video downloads as clean MP4 with full commercial rights—no watermarks, no attribution required. Use them for client work, paid advertising, product listings, social media monetization, brand content, or any business application. The only restrictions are standard content policies (no deepfakes, harmful content, etc.). Whether you're an agency delivering client assets, a solo creator building a content business, or a brand producing marketing videos, you own what you make and can monetize it freely.

Credit-based pricing that scales with your usage. Basic 720P video costs X credits (check workspace for current rates), 1080P HD upgrades cost additional credits. Advanced features like keyframe control, multi-image references, and character consistency are included in base generation cost—no premium tier required. Buy credit packs that match your production volume. No subscription lock-in, no monthly minimums. Typical use: a marketing team might spend 300-500 credits monthly generating 20-30 videos for testing and 5-10 HD finals.

Be specific and directive like you're talking to a cinematographer. Bad: "cool product video." Good: "Close-up dolly shot of wireless headphones rotating on white backdrop, studio lighting with soft shadows, minimalist aesthetic, ends with focus on brand logo." Include: subject/action, camera movement, lighting mood, desired style, and how the video should end (especially important with keyframe control). The model excels at following detailed creative direction—longer, more specific prompts generally produce better results than vague requests.

Both. The interface is simple enough for anyone—enter text or upload images, adjust basic settings, generate. But it offers professional controls (keyframes, references, character consistency) that experienced creators can leverage for sophisticated results. Start simple: generate a basic text-to-video to understand how it works. Then layer in advanced features as needed—try keyframe mode for precise transitions, add reference images for style control, enable character consistency for serialized content. The learning curve is gentle but the ceiling is high.

Most failures stem from content policy violations. Blocked categories: realistic photos of identifiable people (prevents deepfakes and misuse), explicit or violent content, copyrighted characters, or content involving minors. If you're getting unexpected failures: avoid uploading realistic human face photos, use illustrated/artistic reference images instead of photographs, describe actions generically rather than naming celebrities, and review your prompt for potentially flagged terms. The error message usually indicates the specific issue. Rephrasing or changing reference images typically solves it.

Fast Mode: 3-5 minutes for standard 720P. Quality Mode: 8-15 minutes for refined 720P. 1080P upgrades add 1-2 minutes of processing. These times reflect the computational intensity of simulating realistic motion, generating synchronized audio, and maintaining visual consistency. You don't need to babysit the process—completed videos appear in your library automatically. Start a generation, work on something else, come back to the finished result. For high-volume workflows, submit multiple generations in parallel.

Two strategies: 1) Use the built-in extend feature to naturally continue your video beyond 8 seconds, maintaining visual flow and narrative consistency. You can extend multiple times to build longer sequences. 2) Generate multiple clips with consistent keyframes and character references, then stitch them in standard video editing software. The character consistency and multi-image reference features ensure your separate clips maintain visual coherence when edited together. Most users combine both approaches—extend individual scenes, then assemble scenes into longer narrative pieces.
