Veo 3.1 Video Prompt Generator

Generate optimized video prompts for Google's Veo 3.1 using the official 5-part formula. Cinematography, synchronized audio, dialogue & cinematic language.

Describe the main visual scene — subjects, environment, mood, and key visual details

Generated Prompt

Fill in the form and click "Generate" to create an optimized Veo 3.1 video prompt.

Tip: Describe the motion and temporal progression of your scene. Think in terms of "what happens over time" rather than a static description.

Veo 3.1 Tips

  • • Use the 5-part formula: [Cinematography] + [Subject] + [Action] + [Context] + [Style & Ambiance]
  • • Veo 3.1 generates synchronized audio. Write dialogue after a colon with no quotation marks (A woman says: We have to leave now.) so the words are spoken, not printed on screen
  • • Use film terminology like "shot as if on 1980s color film, slightly grainy"
  • • For exclusions, skip "no" and "don't": list the unwanted elements instead (e.g. "Negative prompt: buildings, roads"), which also fits the negativePrompt field in the API

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Veo 3.1?

Veo 3.1 is Google DeepMind's leading video generation model. It makes 4, 6 or 8 second clips at 720p, 1080p or 4K (Fast and Lite stop at 1080p), in 16:9 and 9:16, with rich synchronized audio including dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise.

Where can I use Veo 3.1 now?

In Flow, the Gemini app and the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI), where veo-3.1-generate-001 and veo-3.1-fast-generate-001 are generally available. The Veo 3.1 preview models in the Gemini API were shut down on October 22, 2026, and Google now points Gemini API users to Gemini Omni 1.2 Flash. If that is where you build, use our Google Omni Prompt Generator instead.

How does the 5-part formula work?

Structure your prompt as: [Cinematography] (camera work) + [Subject] (focal point) + [Action] (what happens) + [Context] (environment) + [Style & Ambiance] (aesthetic, mood, lighting). This formula gives Veo optimal creative direction.

Can Veo 3.1 generate dialogue?

Yes. Google's current Veo best practice is to put a colon after the speaker and leave out quotation marks (e.g., A woman says: We have to leave now.), because quoted words can be rendered as on-screen text. You can also describe SFX and ambient noise for a complete soundscape.
