Text to video
Describe the subject and setting, then add the action you want to see. This is a useful starting point when you want to develop the scene and its movement together.
AI video generator for the scene you want to bring to life
Create a product reveal, a moving portrait, or a story moment with the AI video generator on Veo 4. Begin with a written scene or an image in a supported mode. Describe the action and camera movement, choose the available settings, and follow your task in the workspace.
Choose how your scene begins
Use the AI video generator with a prompt or a starting image
The opening frame gives the viewer a place to look. Motion, camera direction, and timing determine what happens next.
Image to video
Choose a mode that accepts an image when you have an opening composition in mind. Explain what moves, what stays still, and how the camera observes the scene.
Camera and subject direction
Separate a character's action from the camera move. A slow push toward a stationary product and a tracking shot beside a walking person call for different instructions.
A sequence of selected takes
Plan each shot around one event. Use a supported shot-planning mode or generate separate clips, review them, and assemble your selection in an editing tool.
Scenes to develop
Make motion serve the story you want to tell
Use the AI video generator to plan a coastal journey, a cafe moment, or a product reveal. Shape each shot around a clear action and camera move.
Coastal story
Plan the journey from landscape to portrait
Begin with the coast, move to the traveler in an orange jacket, and end on her expression. Describe each shot separately and decide how wind, walking, and camera movement connect the sequence.
Cafe moment
Tell a quiet story through small gestures
Plan an exterior view of the rainy cafe, a woman looking through the window, and a hand lifting a cup. Give each shot one clear action and a considered camera position.
Product film
Frame a perfume bottle against a breaking wave
Keep the bottle on wet rock while a wave rises behind it and the camera moves closer. Describe the light through the glass, then review the product shape and water motion across the clip.
From scene idea to reviewed clip
Write the shot, set the task, watch the result
Keep each AI video generator task focused enough to evaluate. Use your saved inputs to carry a clear direction into the next take.
01
Write the opening and action
Describe the subject, location, initial framing, and one main event. If using an image, explain the movement you want to develop from it.
02
Review the video settings
Select a video model and a supported input mode. Choose from its available duration, aspect ratio, and other options, then check the credit cost.
03
Generate and follow the task
Sign in to submit your request. View progress in the workspace and open the video when a result is available.
04
Compare and prepare another take
Watch the opening, movement, and ending. Reuse the task's inputs, check the restored references, and revise the part of the brief you want to change.
Inputs, settings, and results
AI video generator FAQ
Match the task to your intended shot and review the complete clip before using it.
Should I use text to video or image to video?
Start with text when you want to explore the setting as well as the action. Use an image-supported mode when you already have a composition to work from, then describe how it should move.
Where do I choose duration and aspect ratio?
Choose from the settings shown for the selected model. Available durations, aspect ratios, and other options vary by model and input mode; writing a value in the prompt does not change the tool's limits.
Can I specify a first and last frame?
Use a first-and-last-frame mode when the selected model offers it. Supply images that meet the input requirements and describe the movement between them. Review the transition in the generated result.
How do audio and captions work?
Audio generation depends on the selected model and settings. Review any generated sound with the clip. Use your editing tool for captions that need exact wording and timing.
How are video generation and downloads charged?
Generation uses credits according to the model and settings shown for the task. Video downloads require a valid paid entitlement. Check the task cost and your account access before generating.
