Key Features of Veo 3.1
First and Last Frame Transition Control
Use generated first and last image anchors to guide a controlled transition instead of relying on a generic image-to-video result.
Reference-Guided Character or Product Scenes
Use separate reference images for product identity and scene style so the generated clip follows concrete visual roles.
Native Vertical Social Video Output
Generate portrait-oriented videos composed for 9:16 viewing rather than cropping a landscape scene.
Cinematic Text-to-Video with Native Audio
A prompt-only proof for scene, motion, camera, and native audio intent in one short clip.
| Prompt | Output Video |
|---|---|
Night ramen stall under rain. One chef lifts noodles from a boiling pot and places a steaming ramen bowl on a wooden counter. Warm lantern light, wet street reflections, rain ambience, boiling broth, ceramic bowl on wood, no text, no logos. |
First and Last Frame Transition Control
A first/last-frame proof using generated still anchors for a pop-up book transformation.
| Frame Anchors | Transition Prompt | Output Video |
|---|---|---|
  | Start from a closed deep-navy clothbound pop-up storybook on a walnut table beside a rain-streaked window. Move toward the same book opened into a miniature paper lighthouse diorama. Preserve the table, lamp, camera angle, scale, and palette; change only the book state. |
Reference-Guided Character or Product Scenes
A reference-guided proof where product identity and scene style come from separate generated anchors.
| Reference Images | Reference Roles | Output Video |
|---|---|---|
  | Use reference image 1 as the crimson enamel wind-up toy bird identity anchor. Use reference image 2 as the glass greenhouse terrarium style anchor. Generate a short product scene where the toy bird makes tiny mechanical hops across moss while preserving the toy design and terrarium lighting. |
Native Vertical Social Video Output
A 9:16 proof composed for mobile viewing with subject action kept inside the portrait frame.
| Vertical Prompt | Output Video |
|---|---|
9:16 vertical social video. One florist wraps a single yellow tulip bouquet at a narrow flower market stall. Keep the bouquet and hands inside the safe vertical frame, with no text, subtitles, logo, or cropped bouquet tips. |
