From "Capturing" to "Creating" Video: The New Era of AI Video Pioneered by Veo 3.1 [PR]

The much-talked-about video generation AI "Veo 3.1" is finally available on Pollo AI.

Hello, I'm Haru.
This article is also written as part of a joint project (PR) with Pollo AI🎬

Google's latest video generation AI, "Veo 3.1".

Creating video with AI is no longer rare, but this model is attracting attention because you can direct the production via text.

For example, if OpenAI's "Sora 2" takes an approach of "reproducing reality,"
Veo 3.1 takes an approach of "directing how you want it to look." The era has arrived where you can design camera work, composition, lighting, and even the tone of the video with words.

Pollo AI makes this Veo 3.1 available with a single click.

There is no need for English settings or extensive preparation; you can turn the scenes you imagine into video just like that.

Now, let's take a look at the Veo 3.1 appeal together 🎬

🚀 All AI, in one place. The world of Pollo AI

Pollo AI is a creative AI platform.

Images, videos, audio, avatars and more—it features the ability to handle different AI models on a single screen.

Tasks that previously required switching between multiple tools can now be completed entirely in one place with Pollo AI.

For example, when you want to create a short video for social media.
Just by entering text, the video is completed in just a few dozen seconds.

Instructions for camera angles, lighting, and movement are naturally reflected, making it easy to use even without specialized knowledge.

Switching models is also just one click away🖱

For still images, you can choose "Flux" or "RealVis," and for videos, you can freely select from options like "Sora 2" or "
Veo 3.1" depending on your goal.

Pollo AI is, so to speak, a hub that connects AI models. With a single account, you can use cutting-edge generative models across the board.

Pollo AI is also explained in detail in this article👇

This “Veo 3.1” now available on Pollo AI is a notable model that has dramatically increased the freedom of video expression.

Actually, many of the trending AI grandmas (and AI grandpas) are videos created with the Veo series👵

🎥 Veo 3.1. The AI that understands and animates video

The latest video generation model developed by Google DeepMind, “Veo 3.1”, is an AI that generates
cinematic footage from text.

Previous video generation AIs were "pseudo-videos" made by connecting still images.
However, Veo 3.1 understands and composes the meaning of the scene.

For example, if you input "a girl riding a bicycle through a city at sunset,"
the AI recognizes the angle of the sunset, the speed of travel, and the consistent posture of the person,
reproducing it with natural camera work.

It finishes it as if it were filmed footage.

In short,Veo 3.1 is less of an AI that makes videos, and more of an AI that directs the filming.
It can realistically express camera zooms, depth of field, and even the warmth of light.

⚙️ From Veo 3.0 to 3.1. From Cameraman to Director

Veo 3.0 excelled at reproducing reality. Meanwhile,
3.1 has evolved to the stage of directing reality.

The main improvements are as follows.
🎞️ Improved consistency: Subjects are less likely to break down when moving across frames
🎥 Directing precision: Responds to camera work instructions with high accuracy
🔊 Audio track support (experimental stage): Demos with sound effects are now available

With 3.1, cinematic camera direction such as "drone perspective" or "following a person from behind" can also be instructed via text.
This is also reflected directly on Pollo AI.

In other words, if Veo 3.0 is an AI that captures reality, then
Veo 3.1 is an AI that directs reality.

🌇 Differences from Sora 2. Depicting the atmosphere or capturing the story

Sora 2 is a model that excels at reproducing physical reality such as light and wind. In contrast,
Veo 3.1 has strengths in expressing emotions and stories.

Sora 2reflects 'the beauty of reality'.
Veo 3.1depicts 'footage that conveys the movement of the heart'.

For example, if you input 'the perspective of a parent chasing their child,'
it generates footage with warmth, where the camera moves closer and further away.

It is truly a world where AI moves the camera with emotion.

🚀 Why is Veo 3.1 attracting attention?

It is because of the balance between realism and expressive power.

🎞 Natural camera work to create a narrative
🎨 Differences in tone (quiet night rain, intense storm) understood through context
🔧 High reproducibility for brand video production
🌍 Adopted by creators worldwide: AI films and AI music videos are being released one after another

Video production that used to take several weeks can now be completed in Veo 3.1 in a few hours.

Even small teams can achieve cinema-grade footage.

Veo 3.1 marks a turning point from the 'era where AI reproduces reality' to the
'era where AI weaves stories'.

It is an innovative evolution that takes the democratization of video one step further.

🎬 Actually trying out Veo 3.1 on Pollo AI

From here, I will introduce three videos I actuallytriedwith Veo 3.1 on Pollo AI.

Both just require entering a prompt and waiting a few minutes.
You can switch models with one click while keeping the same UI as the Sora 2 I introduced last time.

The videos I created are as follows👇

👵 I created the currently trending "AI Grandma" video!

Now, let's actually create the "AI Grandma" that is currently a hot topic on social media and YouTube using Veo 3.1.

Many videos in this series are produced with the Veo model, and all of them have received a huge response.

Let's recreate that trending video while experiencing the mechanism behind it this time as well.

First, open Pollo AI, and select Model from "Google Veo 3.1".
Model version is set to "Veo 3.1".

The prompt I entered is here👇

Press "Generate" and wait 1-2 minutes. Here is the completed video!👇

Grandma appears and destroys pumpkins one after another in her headband!👵💪
She finishes by shouting "Ya!".
Fireworks go off right after that sequence🎆

It would be interesting to make this into a longer video and turn it into a story!

💄 A short video like a product commercial

Next, I created an autumn-themed piece based on a beer commercial.

First, start production from an image.
I used the image generation AI "Adobe Firefly" and generated it with the following prompt.
(I think any image generation AI is fine. You can also make it with ChatGPT)

On the Pollo AI screen, this time, select "Image to Video".
Then, select "Veo 3.1" for the model version and "Image to Video" for the material.

Next, let's upload the still image from earlier.

And so, I entered the following prompt for the video👇

Then I press "Generate"!
And this is the video that was completed!👇

The finish is like a scene from an autumn beer commercial🍺🍁

The orange light of the sunset illuminates the beer foam, creating an atmosphere that makes you "want to have a drink" just by looking at it.

It is so natural that you wouldn't believe it was made by AI, and the quality is good enough to be used in a real commercial as is.

Now that we understand the flow of making a commercial, let's take it a step further.
This time, I will produce a commercial for canned beer🍺

The image below is the Haru original brand "Haru Beer" created with ChatGPT (lol)👇🍺

Let's make a commercial video using this brand as the subject.

I will add this"image"to the previousHaru Beer image.

And I entered the following prompt.

Here is the video I made!👇

This is truly amazing. The level of perfection is like a real beer commercial.
The reflections of the lighting and the texture of the foam are reproduced so realistically that you wouldn't think it was made by AI.

Even if the promotional budget is limited, if you can express this much, it seems like commercial production could be completed entirely with AI.

Especially for web advertisements and social media videos, the quality is good enough to be used as an actual commercial as is.

Veo 3.1was truly an AI that allowed me to create as if I were shooting.

It was characterized not only by realistic reproduction but also by the ability to direct "what kind of emotion you want to show."

Unlike Sora 2,Veo 3.1stands out for itsbeauty of the videoandprecision of detail.

🚀 Veo 3.1How to utilize it on social media?

3 Patterns of Videos That Go Viral

Veo 3.1The appeal of is that it is an AI that allows you to design evenhow it is shown.
It is closer to the feeling ofdirectingthan making a video.

On social media, videos that convey "temperature" and "story" are stronger than realism.
Here, I will introduce 3 ways to useVeo 3.1that are particularly likely to go viral.

🎞 ① Worldview Short (Vertical 6-10 seconds)
Combiningcamera movement and tone, such as drone perspectives or light reflections, is impressive.
If you includemovementin the first second, it will stop the viewer's gaze.
It is perfect for videos that convey your brand or your own worldview.

👵 ② Character Story (8-15 seconds)
The strength ofVeo 3.1is that it can naturally reproduce a person's gaze and expressions.

Including movements with emotion, such as talking or turning around, creates empathy.
It is also ideal for short videos, like an AI grandmother.

💄 ③ Promotional Video (4-8 seconds)
Excels at expressing textures like glass, metal, and light.
Compositions that
showcase beauty in an instant, such as "a bottle in the morning light" or "a drink shining in backlight," are effective.

✨ Summary. The era where AI "shoots video"

The arrival of Veo 3.1 feels like a turning point that changes the very concept of video creation, from "AI making videos" to "shooting with AI."

a turning point that changes the very concept of video creation.

If Sora 2 is an AI that depicts reality as it is,
Veo 3.1 is an AI that designs how you want that reality to be seen.

From camera movement and light tones to composition balance.

With just text, you can shape the emotions of the video you have in mind.

Now that anyone can have this experience through Pollo AI,
video expression is no longer just for professionals.

It is an era where you can create "compelling videos" in minutes.compelling videos.
