Veo 3 Fast – Effective Usage Guide

Veo 3 Fast is designed to generate crisp 8-second, 720p video clips with synchronized audio and realistic lip sync—using five times fewer credits than its predecessor. Follow these best practices and parameter suggestions to get the most out of the model across different scenarios.

1. Core Best Practices

  • •Clear & Concise Prompts
    Keep your text prompt under 100 words. Describe setting, mood, key subjects, and actions.
    Example:
    “A vintage bicycle leaning against a brick wall at sunset, warm golden light, soft shadows, gentle breeze moving leaves.”  
    
  • •Iterative Refinement
    Start broad, then add details in subsequent runs. Split complex sequences into 2–3 segments, then stitch them in post.
  • •Leverage Frames-to-Video
    Upload 3–5 reference frames when you need consistent composition or character poses. The model uses them to guide motion flow.

2. Parameter Suggestions by Use Case

A. Social Media Teasers

  • •Mode: Text-to-Video
  • •Prompt Style: High-energy, hashtag-ready language (e.g., “#FreshBrew coffee pouring in slow motion, steam rising, morning light through a cafĂ© window.”)
  • •Audio: Built-in upbeat track or supply a 5–8 s custom jingle
  • •Iterations: 1–2 drafts, choose the most dynamic framing

B. Marketing & Ads

  • •Mode: Text-to-Video (or Frames-to-Video with product shots)
  • •Prompt Style: Brand-centric, call-to-action phrases (e.g., “Smartphone gliding into frame, screen lighting up with notifications, sleek metallic finish, dynamic camera pan.”)
  • •Audio: Custom VO or licensed track for lip-sync
  • •Details: Emphasize product colors/materials; upload 3 reference images of your product if using Frames-to-Video

C. Educational Snippets

  • •Mode: Text-to-Video
  • •Prompt Style: Instructional and step-by-step (e.g., “A scientist in a white lab coat mixing colorful liquids in a beaker, clear labels, calm voice-over explaining each step.”)
  • •Audio: Narration track (upload a script)
  • •Tip: Use simpler backgrounds to keep focus on the action

D. Prototype Animations

  • •Mode: Frames-to-Video
  • •Prompt Style: Storyboard-style directives (“Frame 1: astronaut floating in zero gravity. Frame 2: helmet visor reflecting Earth.”)
  • •Reference Frames: 4–5 hand-drawn or rough sketches
  • •Outcome: Rapidly iterate pacing and composition before full production

3. Advanced Tips

  • •Ambient Details: Include weather, time of day, or emotions (“rain-swept alley at midnight, neon reflections, suspenseful mood”).
  • •Audio Customization: Upload any MP3 or select from built-in soundscapes—lip sync adapts automatically.
  • •Quality Trade-Offs: For ultra-complex textures, consider using full-scale Veo 3; Veo 3 Fast optimizes for speed and credit efficiency.

Default Prompt Parameter

\{
  "prompt": "A serene forest landscape at dawn, mist hovering over the trees, a deer slowly wandering through the frame, softened by early light."
