Prompt writing basics
Good prompts are descriptive and clear. To get the most out of Veo, start with identifying your core idea, refine your idea by adding keywords and modifiers, and incorporate video-specific terminology into your prompts.
The following elements should be included in your prompt:
- Subject: The object, person, animal, or scenery that you want in your video, such as cityscape, nature, vehicles, or puppies.
- Action: What the subject is doing (for example, walking, running, or turning their head).
- Style: Specify creative direction using specific film style keywords, such as sci-fi, horror film, film noir, or animated styles like cartoon.
- Camera positioning and motion: [Optional] Control the camera's location and movement using terms like aerial view, eye-level, top-down shot, dolly shot, or worms eye.
- Composition: [Optional] How the shot is framed, such as wide shot, close-up, single-shot or two-shot.
- Focus and lens effects: [Optional] Use terms like shallow focus, deep focus, soft focus, macro lens, and wide-angle lens to achieve specific visual effects.
- Ambiance: [Optional] How the color and light contribute to the scene, such as blue tones, night, or warm tones.

Prompting for audio
With Veo 3, you can provide cues for sound effects, ambient noise, and dialogue. The model captures the nuance of these cues to generate a synchronized soundtrack.
Dialogue: Use quotes for specific speech. (Example: "This must be the key," he murmured.)
Sound Effects (SFX): Explicitly describe sounds. (Example: tires screeching loudly, engine roaring.)
Ambient Noise: Describe the environment's soundscape. (Example: A faint, eerie hum resonates in the background.)
