Google Veo 3.0 represents a move away from simple video creation towards more complex creative directions. Veo 3 was the foundation for Veo 3, but Veo 3 adds a more robust prompt and significant improvements to audio-visual quality, particularly when animating images.
What You Will Learn
The following topics are covered:
- Vertex AI offers the complete capabilities of Google Veo 3.0 on Vertex AI.
- The following is a simple prompting formula to help you keep your characters, scenes and style consistent.
- Use cinematic language to create a video or audio that is both engaging and effective.
- Veo with Advanced Workflows Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) Multi-step sophisticated creation.

A Reliable Prompt Structure
Use this formula to structure your prompts in order to produce high-quality, consistent results.
[Cinematography] + [Subject] + [Action] + [Context] + [Style & Ambiance]
Cinematography — Shot selection, camera movement
The Subject — Who or what appears in frame
Take Action — What is happening
Context — Environment and background
Style & ambiance — Lighting, tone, mood
Example Prompt:
In a late-night office, we see a corporate employee, exhausted, rub his temples. The computer is a large 1980s model. This scene is lit up by fluorescent overhead lighting and the monochrome computer monitor’s glowing green light. Retro style, grainy, as if shot on color film from the 1980s.
Essential Prompting Techniques
1. Film Keywords
The camera language can be a powerful way to convey tone and movement.
Camera movement:
Slow pan, dolly shot and crane shot
The example of the crane shot is unaltered:
The prompt: A crane shot, starting low and rising high, showing a hiker on the edge of an epic, misty canyon, at dawn, in epic fantasy, with soft, morning light.
Composition:
Low angle shot, wide shot, extreme close up, low angle shot
Lens & focus:
Soft focus, macro lens and shallow depth of field are all terms used to describe the lenses that have a wide angle lens.
For example, shallow depths of field.
Prompt : A young woman looking at a passing city light through the window of a moving bus with her faint reflection on the glass. Inside a nighttime bus during rain storm. Melancholic mood in cool blues.
2. Directional Audio
Veo 3.0 generates synced soundscapes. Use:
- Dialogue: Use quotes for speech
- SFX: Label sounds (e.g. Thunderclaps: SFX)
- Ambient audio: What sounds do you hear?
3. Mastering Negative Prompts
Include exclusions by clearly stating the excluded items. It is not necessary to be able to understand Present (or absent).
Example:
✔ “a desolate landscape with no buildings or roads”
✘ “no man-made structures”
4. Gemini Enhances Your Experience
You can use Gemini before Veo to add more detail and cinematic language.
Creative Workflows Advanced
Three workflows are shown below that demonstrate how Veo 3.0 can be combined with Gemini 2.50 Flash Image via Motionize.AI.
Workflow 1: Dynamic transition using “First and Last Frame”
The camera is moved between two deliberately crafted views.
Step 1 — Generate the starting image (Gemini)
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image prompt:
“Medium shot of a female pop star singing passionately into a vintage microphone. She is on a dark stage, lit by a single, dramatic spotlight from the front. She has her eyes closed, capturing an emotional moment. Photorealistic, cinematic.”
Step 2 — Generate the ending image (Gemini)
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image prompt:
“POV shot from behind the singer on stage, looking out at a large, cheering crowd. The stage lights are bright, creating lens flare. You can see the back of the singer’s head and shoulders in the foreground. The audience is a sea of lights and silhouettes. Energetic atmosphere.”
Step 3 — Animate the transition in Veo
Veo 3.1 prompt:
“The camera performs a smooth 180-degree arc shot, starting with the front-facing view of the singer and circling around her to seamlessly end on the POV shot from behind her on stage. The singer sings “You can tell that I’m a star-struck person by the way you look into my eyes.”

Workflow 2: Creating Dialogue Scenes with “The Ingredients of Video
The approach works well for multiple-shots of character interaction while maintaining a consistent visual style.
Step 1 — Create reference visuals (Gemini)
Step 2 — Build each shot with Veo
Prompt:
The detective is behind the desk. Create the medium shot using the image of the detective. In a tired voice, he looks at her and tells her: “Of all the offices in this town, you had to walk into mine.””
Prompt:
“Create a photo of the woman focusing only on her. Use the images provided for the detective and office. She replies with a subtle, mysterious smile. “You were highly recommended.””

Workflow 3: Timestamp Prompting for Multi-Shot Sequences
Timestamp prompting allows you to define multiple shots within a single clip.
Prompt example:
[00:00-00:02] Medium shot from behind a young female explorer with a leather satchel and messy brown hair in a ponytail, as she pushes aside a large jungle vine to reveal a hidden path.
[00:02-00:04] Reverse shot of the explorer’s freckled face, her expression filled with awe as she gazes upon ancient, moss-covered ruins in the background. SFX: The rustle of dense leaves, distant exotic bird calls.
[00:04-00:06] Tracking shot following the explorer as she steps into the clearing and runs her hand over the intricate carvings on a crumbling stone wall. Emotion: Wonder and reverence.
[00:06-00:08] Wide, high-angle crane shot, revealing the lone explorer standing small in the center of the vast, forgotten temple complex, half-swallowed by the jungle. SFX: A swelling, gentle orchestral score begins to play.
