Google New Feature: Google has given a big and effective update to its AI video generation model Veo 3.1. With this new version, creating videos has become easier, faster and more professional than ever. The company claims that now this model works with better quality, ability to understand prompts deeply and stable characters. The biggest thing is that Veo 3.1 now has support for creating vertical videos directly for Shorts and Reels, which will save a lot of time and effort for content creators.

Ingredients to Video feature becomes more powerful than before

In Veo 3.1, Google has made the Ingredients to Video feature smarter. Now users will not need to write long prompts. An engaging and story-filled video can be created by just providing a reference image and a small amount of text. With the new update, cinematic touch, better flow and natural transitions are seen in the videos. According to Google, the model now shows characters and objects in a scene in a more accurate and consistent manner.

There will be uniformity in characters and scenes

The strongest feature of Veo 3.1 is considered to be its character consistency. Now the character’s face, body language and overall look remain the same without changing during the video. Not only this, the background, texture and props used are also seen in the same form again and again in different scenes. This makes it much easier to create a long and continuous story by combining small clips.

Got native vertical support for Shorts and Reels

With this update, Google has added direct support for 9:16 aspect ratio. Now the videos will already be generated in vertical format, which can be uploaded to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels or TikTok without cropping. Google says that this feature has been specially designed for those creators who create content quickly for mobile platforms.

Where else to get better video quality Veo 3.1

Google has also paid special attention to video output quality in Veo 3.1. 1080p videos now look sharper and clearer, while the option of 4K upscaling has also been added, although this feature is not yet available on every platform. The new Ingredients to Video feature is available in YouTube Shorts, YouTube Create app and Gemini app. Whereas business users and developers can use it through Flow app, Gemini API, Vertex AI and Google Vids.
