Veo 4 is the newest generation of Google DeepMind’s video model family, built for cinema-grade output: coherent camera moves, physically plausible motion, and dialogue-ready native audio generated in the same pass as the picture. On Veo AI you can run it straight from the browser — type a prompt, pick a duration and aspect ratio, and get a finished clip with sound.
Two tiers are available. Veo 4 Pro maximizes fidelity for hero shots and final renders, while Veo 4 Fast trades a little polish for much quicker turnarounds — ideal for iterating on prompts before committing credits to a Pro render. Both accept a text prompt or a starting image, support first-and-last-frame keyframes, and can extend an existing generation.
Clips run 4, 6, or 8 seconds at 720p or 1080p in widescreen 16:9 or vertical 9:16, so the same prompt can serve a YouTube pre-roll and a TikTok cut. Negative prompts, reference images, and camera-motion controls give you real art direction, not just a slot machine.

What makes Veo 4 stand out
Native audio generation
Veo 4 generates synchronized sound — ambience, effects, even dialogue — together with the video, so clips arrive ready to publish.
Pro and Fast tiers
Iterate cheaply with Veo 4 Fast, then re-run the winning prompt on Veo 4 Pro for the final, highest-fidelity render.
Keyframe control
Supply a first and last frame and Veo 4 interpolates the shot between them — precise control for product moves and scene transitions.
Image to video
Animate a still — a product photo, a storyboard frame, a character design — into an 8-second cinematic shot.
Director-level prompting
Camera motion, shot type, camera angle, style presets, and negative prompts are all first-class settings in the Create studio.
Extendable shots
Chain generations with video extension to build sequences longer than a single 8-second clip.

Which Veo 4 version should you use?
Every version below is selectable in the Create studio on the same credits.
Veo 4 Pro
The maximum-fidelity Veo 4 tier, meant for final renders and hero shots. It generates 4, 6, or 8 second clips at 720p or 1080p in 16:9 or 9:16, with native audio, first/last-frame keyframes, a reference image, negative prompts, camera-motion controls, and video extension. Choose Pro when the shot is the deliverable, not the draft.
Veo 4 Fast
The iteration tier of Veo 4: it keeps the same 4, 6, or 8 second durations, 720p and 1080p output, keyframes, reference image, negative prompts, and native audio as Pro, but returns results quicker at a lower credit cost. Choose Fast while exploring prompt directions, then rerun the winning brief on Pro for the finished take.
Veo 4 prompt examples
Copy one as a starting point, or send it straight to the Create studio.
“A slow dolly-in on a jazz trumpeter mid-solo in a smoky basement club, brass glinting under a single spotlight, audience silhouettes swaying, moody amber haze”
Exercises native audio with a synchronized live-music performance.
“Aerial crane shot descending toward a lighthouse on a storm-battered cliff at dusk, waves exploding against rocks, rain streaking the lens, thunder rumbling in the distance”
Tests physics, water simulation, and ambient sound design.
“Handheld tracking shot following a barista pouring latte art in a sunlit café, shallow depth of field, steam curling upward, soft morning chatter in the background”
Shows shallow focus, fluid liquid motion, and layered ambience.

Veo 4 questions, answered
What is Veo 4?
Veo 4 is the latest generation of Google DeepMind’s Veo video-generation model family. It creates short cinematic clips with synchronized native audio from a text prompt or a starting image. On Veo AI you can use it directly in the browser without any API setup.
How long can Veo 4 videos be?
Each generation is 4, 6, or 8 seconds long. Because Veo 4 supports video extension, you can chain generations to build longer sequences from the same scene.
Does Veo 4 generate sound?
Yes. Veo 4 produces native audio — ambient sound, effects, and speech — in the same pass as the video, so you don’t need to add a soundtrack for the clip to feel finished.
What is the difference between Veo 4 Pro and Veo 4 Fast?
Veo 4 Pro is the maximum-quality tier for final renders; Veo 4 Fast generates noticeably quicker at a lower credit cost, which makes it the better choice while you iterate on prompts. Both share the same durations, resolutions, and controls.
What resolutions and aspect ratios does Veo 4 support?
Veo 4 outputs 720p or 1080p, in 16:9 widescreen or 9:16 vertical. That covers YouTube, TikTok, Reels, and Shorts from a single model.
Can Veo 4 animate an existing image?
Yes. Image-to-video mode uses your upload as the first frame, and keyframe mode accepts both a first and a last frame so the model interpolates the motion between them.
Is there a Veo 4 free trial?
New Veo AI accounts start with free credits you can spend on any enabled model, including the Veo family. After that, plans and credit packs on the pricing page keep per-clip costs predictable.
Do Veo 4 videos have a watermark?
Videos you generate on Veo AI are delivered clean, without a visible platform watermark, and you can download them in full quality from your library.
