Google Just Dropped Veo 3.1 - Here is a Breadown of The New Features
Google has just released VEO 3.1, and I am stoked. Absolutely stoked. Let's go through what's new, because some of this is massive. VEO 3.1 and VEO 3.1 Fast Are Here The update gives us both VEO 3.1 and VEO 3.1 fast. The core improvements are seriously impressive: - It now allows us to generate richer audio and natural conversations and to synchronize sound effects. - It gives us greater narrative control and an improved understanding of cinematic styles. - We also have enhanced image-to-video capabilities with better prompt adherence. - This delivers superior audio and visual quality while maintaining character consistency. Finally, my favorite part of this entire update. I've been waiting for this forever. They are phasing out VEO2 and adding those capabilities to VEO 3.1. Ingredients to Video in VEO 3.1 - We can guide the creative process with up to three reference images of characters, objects, or even scenes. - This will help us with character consistency over multiple shots, as well as applying a specific style to our video. - Scene Extension in VEO 3.1 If you're familiar with Flow, you'll know that most capabilities like scene extension were limited to VEO2 fast. The quality difference between VEO3 and VEO2 was pretty substantial. - Now that we have the ability to extend scenes within Flow utilizing VEO 3.1, we can create longer clips. Control Video with First and Last Frames Oh my goodness, my favorite. I create looped animations, and before, I could only do this in VEO2. - Now we have the ability to control our video with first and last frames. I don't think you guys know how huge this is. - We can create smooth, natural scenes that bridge two different images. You give it a starting frame and an ending frame, and then VEO 3.1 will create the animation between them
