Key Features Explained
Native Audio
Veo 3.1 generates synchronized audio with your video. Ambient sounds, effects, and atmospheric audio are created to match the visual content. No need to source stock audio or manually sync.
Reference Images
Upload images to guide the video generation:
- Style reference (match the aesthetic of an existing image)
- Subject reference (include specific objects or scenes)
- Brand assets (maintain visual consistency)
Frame Interpolation
Creates smoother motion by generating intermediate frames. Results in more fluid, professional-looking video with less of the "AI jitter" that plagues some generators.
