AI video with Veo — versions, capabilities and examples

What Veo is

Veo is a family of generative video models developed by Google DeepMind — Google’s research arm in the field of artificial intelligence. Veo turns a text description or a starting image into a short video, aiming for high image quality, close following of the description and believable motion.

Veo is among the most recognisable names in AI video and is often named as a strong choice for cinematic-looking results. It suits content creators, marketing, advertising and anyone who wants professional-feeling video without a film production.

On genkiki.com Veo is available in generation 3.1 with several variants that balance speed and quality and add a mode with references.

Versions and options on generiram

On the platform Veo 3.1 comes in a standard and a fast variant, as well as separate variants that accept a reference.

Text to video

You describe the scene in words and Veo creates a video from the description — a good fit when you are starting from an idea alone.

Image to video

You supply a starting frame and Veo brings it to life, keeping the look of the photo and adding movement of the environment, the objects and the camera.

Reference

The Reference variants use a reference image as a guide, so that a particular look or style is kept in the output. The “Fast” versions give a quicker result when speed is the priority.

• Good following of the description — the result comes close to what you asked for.
• Believable motion and good consistency between the frames.

• Concepts, storyboards and presentation material.
• Creative projects where image quality comes first.
