Veo 3.1 is available to try today through Google&#8217;s Gemini API and is now also powering the company&#8217;s <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/google-filmmaking-tool-flow-ai-generated-video-175212520.html\" data-i13n=\"slk:Flow video editor;cpos:2;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Flow video editor;slk:Flow video editor;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Flow video editor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Veo 3.1 builds on the new capabilities Google introduced with launch of <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/googles-veo-3-ai-model-can-generate-videos-with-sound-174541183.html\" data-i13n=\"slk:Veo 3;cpos:3;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Veo 3;slk:Veo 3;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Veo 3<\/a> at <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/google-io-2025-recap-ai-updates-android-xr-google-beam-and-everything-else-announced-at-the-annual-keynote-175900229.html\" data-i13n=\"slk:Google I\/O 2025;cpos:4;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:Google I\/O 2025;slk:Google I\/O 2025;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google I\/O 2025<\/a>. The new model offers better &#8220;prompt adherence,&#8221; according to Google, and should have an easier time creating videos based on the image &#8220;ingredients&#8221; you upload alongside your written prompt. Veo 3.1 also makes it possible to convert images to video and generate audio at the same time, a capability that wasn&#8217;t available with Veo 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">In Flow, Veo 3.1 supports at least a new feature that gives you finer control over the videos you generate. With what Google calls &#8220;Frame to Video,&#8221; Flow lets you upload a first and last frame, and then generates the video in-between. Adobe Firefly, which is powered by Veo 3, offers <a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/adobe-firefly-can-now-generate-sound-effects-from-your-audio-cues-130008172.html\" data-i13n=\"slk:a similar feature in Firefly;cpos:5;pos:1\" data-ylk=\"slk:a similar feature;slk:a similar feature in Firefly;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a similar feature<\/a>, but Flow will be able to pull it off and create audio at the same time. Those added audio skills will also apply to the video editor&#8217;s ability to extend clips and insert objects into existing footage, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Based on the samples Google&#8217;s shared, videos generated with Veo 3.1 still have an uncanny quality that seems to vary greatly depending on the prompt and subject.
