Understanding Veo 3.1
Veo 3.1 represents a significant leap forward in AI-powered video generation. Released by Google in late 2026, it builds on its predecessors with higher quality outputs, more accurate prompt interpretation, and seamless audio integration.
Unlike traditional video creation tools that require filming equipment, editing software, and technical expertise, Veo 3.1 generates professional-quality videos from text descriptions alone. Describe what you want to see, and the AI creates it — complete with motion, lighting, composition, and audio.
Key Features
High-Resolution Video Output
Veo 3.1 generates videos at up to 1080p, suitable for professional use on websites, social media, presentations, and marketing materials. The model maintains consistent visual quality with smooth motion throughout each generated sequence.
Integrated Audio and Dialogue Generation
Veo 3.1 generates synchronised audio that matches the visual content — background sounds, environmental audio, music, and dialogue. The audio generation is contextually aware, creating soundscapes that genuinely enhance the visual narrative rather than just being layered on top.
Advanced Physics and Motion Understanding
Veo 3.1 demonstrates sophisticated understanding of real-world physics: realistic movement, lighting changes, and object interactions. Whether creating ocean waves, city traffic, or people walking, the model produces natural, believable motion.

How Veo 3.1 Fits into the Google AI Ecosystem
Veo 3.1 is accessible through the Gemini API, making it available to developers and platforms like ChilledSites Studio. It's also accessible through the main Gemini interface at gemini.google.com for standalone video creation.
Veo 3.1 is a specialised video creation model, distinct from Gemini 3 Pro (Google's multimodal reasoning model). Think of Gemini as the brain for reasoning and analysis, and Veo as the dedicated video production studio.

Best Practices for Prompt Writing
- Specific visual details — lighting, camera angles, colours, atmosphere
- Describe motion and action — "gentle zoom in", "slow rotation", "camera pans right"
- Set scene and context — time of day, weather, setting, overall mood
- Specify style — "cinematic", "minimalist", "professional", "vibrant"
- Mention audio context — "quiet ambient", "city sounds", "gentle background music"
Pro Tip for Website Creators
Add "loopable" or "seamless loop" to your prompt when creating website background videos. This guides Veo 3.1 to generate videos where the end naturally transitions to the beginning — perfect for continuous playback.
