Veo
Veo is a cutting-edge Google DeepMind’s AI tool that turns text into videos. It makes realistic motion and works with different styles.
Overview
With Veo you can pick camera angles lens types and cinematic effects to get the shot you want. It's also built into YouTube Shorts' Dream Screen letting creators make unique backgrounds or full clips fast.
Right now it's available in the U.S. Canada Australia and New Zealand but more regions are coming.

VEO 3 and FLOW
Veo 3 is Google DeepMind's latest video generation model, offering better visual quality, improved prompt accuracy, and the ability to generate audio. It is currently available only to Ultra subscribers. So Veo 3 comes with native audio generation, bringing environmental sounds and character dialogue directly into video creation. It supports:
- Text to Video with speech and environmental sounds.
- First Frame to Video with environmental sounds.
Veo 3 does not yet support features like first and last frame, camera controls, extend, or Ingredients to Video. When using these, the system will revert to Veo 2.
The Flow suite - an AI filmmaking tool - offers a full set of content creation tools, positioning it as a strong alternative to Sora. All features are currently available, though advanced access comes at a high cost.
Key features include 4K video generation with improved physics, realism, and prompt accuracy. It supports camera movements, inpainting, outpainting, and using sample videos to drive character animations. Users can generate complete scenes with synchronized voiceovers and sound effects from a single prompt.
Example Flow Process:
- Generate 1st scene in Veo3
- Select "Add to Scene"
- Select extend
- Add prompt + generate
It also enables blending characters and settings for consistent storytelling, and offers control over first/last frames and scene extensions.
Using VEO3 for image-to-video character consistency, Martin Nebelong suggests starting all clips with the same frame. Then, in the prompt, make an immediate scene change by stating: “Instantly jump/cut on frame 1 to [brief scene description], followed by a more detailed one.”

People are saying Veo 2 feels way more realistic with better physics than Sora. Movements look smoother things behave more naturally. But it’s not perfect—stuff like water splashes and object heaviness still feel off sometimes.
Some users love what Sora can do but many complain about weird glitches unpredictable outputs and artifacts messing up results. A big frustration? The official demo videos look incredible but when users try it themselves the results often don’t match up.
A few users are worried about AI restrictions pointing out that Gemini limits certain queries. Others don’t see the issue or think it’s just part of how these models work.
In general people are more impressed with Veo 2 especially when stacked against Sora. Sora has potential but its hit-or-miss results make it hard to trust. Time will tell if it can catch up.

Quick zoom in on a woman's face as she blinks, with clouds moving behind her. Transition into her eye, showcasing the intricate design of her blue iris and black pupil. Create a surreal macro shot where tiny black birds emerge from the pupil, flapping their wings inside the iris before some fly out of the eye as she blinks again and shifts her pupil slightly.

Tracking shot from behind, an elderly lady confidently maneuvers her electric wheelchair down a winding mountain road at an astonishing 140 km/h. Her hair whips wildly in the wind, and her colorful scarf flutters dramatically behind her. The camera, situated 10 meters behind the wheelchair, captures the thrilling scene in 35mm film, with blurred trees and mountain scenery flashing by on either side.

Camera tracks a realistic tanned blonde woman in white top and denim shorts ((walking forward)) in an anime-style illustration environment. Little white bird is flying near the subtly moving white clouds, soft breeze billowing the plants and tree leaves. The woman briefly looks around curiously as if wondering how did she get here as she continues walking graciously forward.
