How to use Veo3?
1. What is Veo3
1.1 Veo3: Google DeepMind’s Next-Generation AI Video Generation Model
Veo3 is a next-generation AI video generation model launched by Google DeepMind at the 2025 Google I/O developer conference. It represents the current state-of-the-art in AI video generation technology. It automatically generates 1080p HD videos based on text and image prompts, and simultaneously embeds dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise, providing an immersive audiovisual experience.
1.2 Two input methods: text & image generation video
Veo3 supports two main content generation methods:
- Text-to-Video: Users enter a descriptive text (such as "a ship struggling in a storm"), and Veo3 automatically generates a dynamic video that fits the scene and adds matching sound effects (such as thunder and waves).
- Image-to-Video: Users upload a static image (such as a landscape or a portrait), and Veo3 can convert it into a dynamic video, simulating natural movement (such as wind blowing leaves, a person smiling, etc.).
1.3 Two generation modes: FAST/TURBO vs. QUALITY
Veo3 provides two modes: FAST/TURBO and QUALITY, suitable for different demand scenarios:
model | FAST/TURBO | QUALITY |
---|---|---|
Resolution | 1080p | 1080p |
Duration | 8s | 8s |
Spawn Speed | within 30 seconds | A few minutes |
Audio support | Basic sound effects | High-fidelity sound |
Applicable Scenarios | Social media, rapid prototyping | Film-level, advertising production |
price | 20 points/segment (approximately $1.5/item) | 150 points/segment (approximately $6/item) |
Application scenarios of FAST/TURBO mode
- Programmatic advertising: A back-end service that supports the automatic generation of advertising creatives, capable of batch-producing advertising materials of different styles to optimize delivery results.
- Rapid prototyping: Enables instant visualization of different creative concepts, facilitating A/B testing and decision-making for the team.
- Large-scale content creation: Provide API access to social media management tools to automate the production of massive amounts of short video content.
Application scenarios of the QUALITY mode
- Film-level pre-visualization: Provides high-quality dynamic previews for film storyboards, assisting directors in designing shot language.
- High-end brand advertising: Generate brand promotional videos with a cinematic quality, perfectly presenting product details and brand tone.
- Virtual Production Assistance: Provides high-quality background materials for XR virtual production, enabling real-time scene replacement and expansion.

2.2 Technical Architecture Comparison
- Veo3: Uses Latent Diffusion Transformer + V2A (Video-to-Audio) to achieve audio and video synchronization.
- Sora: Based on Patch-based spatiotemporal coding, it excels at long videos but lacks audio support.
- Veo2: An improved diffusion model with low cost but average quality.
- Runway Gen4: A hybrid GAN/diffusion architecture for creative stylized videos.
- Kling 2.1: Focused on the Chinese-optimized diffusion model, suitable for localized content.
- MiniMax Hailuo: Using Noise-aware Compute Redistribution (NCR) to optimize complex motion generation.
- Seedance 1.0: Parallel discrete diffusion model, extremely fast (2146 tokens/s).
3. How to obtain Veo3
3.1 Official Subscription Channels
Google restricts access to Veo3 to its Premium subscription plans:
- Google AI Ultra: $249.99 per month, provides full Veo3 functionality, including native audio generation
- Google AI Pro: $19.99 per month, provides only basic Flow functionality and limited generation quotas (excluding Veo3)
It is currently only open to users in the United States and is expensive, which sets a high threshold for ordinary creators and developers.
3.2 Vertex AI Enterprise Access
Enterprise users can get access to Veo3's API through Google's Vertex AI platform:
- Basic video generation fee: approximately $0.70/second (estimated price, subject to final announcement by Google)
- Audio generation surcharge: approximately $0.10/second (for enabling audio generation)
- High-resolution surcharge: Standard price for 1080p video, 4K resolution may require additional fees
To use it, you need to join the waiting list for veo-3.0-generate-preview access rights, complete the enterprise verification process, sign an enterprise-level service agreement, and bear the higher API call fees.
