"The Ingredients to Video tool allows Veo users to generate videos based on up to three reference images, pulling in materials like character subjects, backgrounds, and textures to have more control over how the results will look. Google says this update will make videos "more expressive and creative," and provide "richer dialogue and storytelling." There are also consistency improvements that should be more perceptible - Veo 3.1 should now ensure a character looks the same across different clips and environments,"
"Clips generated using Ingredients to Video will now also support vertical outputs. This follows Google giving developers the ability to generate vertical videos in Veo last year for text-based prompts without references. Users can select to output videos in a native 9:16 aspect ratio that's ready to upload to platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts, instead of manually cropping the results in video editing software."
"Google is adding Veo's improved Ingredients to Video and portrait mode features to the Gemini app starting today, and integrating those tools into YouTube Shorts and the YouTube Create app "for the first time." Lastly, this update allows Veo 3.1 users to upscale their generated videos to a 4K resolution, up from the previous 1080p limit. Google says that 1080p video generation has also been improved to provide "a sharper, cleaner video.""
Veo 3.1 increases attention to up to three reference images for Ingredients to Video, enabling incorporation of characters, backgrounds, and textures for finer control. The model adds consistency so characters and objects remain the same across clips and scenes. Generated clips can now output natively in 9:16 portrait orientation for direct upload to TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Gemini and YouTube Create and Shorts will receive the Ingredients to Video and portrait features. Veo 3.1 now supports upscaling generated output to 4K, while 1080p generation has been sharpened and cleaned.
