Prompting tips for Google Veo 3.1
Get better results from Google Veo 3.1 with clear direction and reference shots to match your creative vision.
Leverage the 30-second window to develop complete story arcs with intentional pacing, camera movement, and product integration—describe timing cues and beat changes to guide Veo 3.1's extended temporal understanding.
Tips to try
- Break 30-second sequences into narrative beats (intro, build, climax, resolve) within your prompt for better pacing.
- Specify product placement timing like 'show product at 5 seconds' or 'reveal branding in final third' for control.
- Use resolution strategically: 480p for rapid ideation, 720p for client reviews, 1080p for final deliverables.
- Include camera movement arcs (dolly-in at 10s, orbit at 20s) to guide Veo 3.1's extended motion planning.
- Combine with Gemini prompt enhancement to structure complex 30-second narratives before generation.
- Leverage negative prompts to prevent unwanted elements across the full duration, especially for brand compliance.
