How to Write a Great Veo 3.1 Fast Prompt

Google DeepMind

Veo Fast prefers short, concrete prompts and one clear action.

Tip: duration + aspect ratio are set in the UI - your prompt controls subject, action, camera, lighting, style, and sound cues.

Quick prompt (fast iteration)

Use 1–2 sentences when you want variations.

Quick = variations. Use for fast iteration.

Template (copy/paste)

[Subject] [action] in [context], [camera move], [lighting/style], [optional sound cue].

Example

Handheld smartphone UGC clip of a woman unboxing a new skincare bottle at a kitchen table. She peels the seal, smiles, and turns the bottle toward camera. Soft window daylight, natural colors, subtle room tone + packaging crinkle.

Audio on6s

6 second vertical loop of a young woman working late at a minimalist desk in front of a big window, city lights blurred in the background. Camera: slow handheld drift left and right, staying on her face and laptop. Lighting: cool blue from outside, warm desk lamp on her hands. Audio: quiet typing, distant city hum, no dialogue.

Tips & Limitations

Veo 3.1 Fast is most reliable when you write a short shot brief: one subject, one action, clear framing, and one camera move.

What works best

  • Lead with framing + camera move (wide/medium/close + dolly/pan/handheld) before style.
  • Keep one hero subject and one readable action per clip.
  • Use 2–3 concrete anchors (time of day, weather, 1–2 set details) instead of long lists.
  • For continuity, reuse the same “shot recipe” (palette, lighting, lens feel) and change one variable per take.
  • Audio is best with minimal cues: ambience + 1 key sound, or one short VO line.

Common problems → fast fixes

  • Drift / ignores details → move subject + action + framing to the first line; remove extra beats; keep constraints positive (“clean background”, “centered subject”).
  • Motion feels messy → one camera move only; slow the action; simplify the background.
  • Off-brand look → lock palette + lighting; reuse the same wording; add a reference frame when you can.
  • Text/signage breaks → keep readable text off-screen; overlay critical copy in post.
  • VO / lip sync feels off → shorten lines; avoid fast speech and long monologues.

Hard limits to keep in mind

  • Single-scene focus works best; multi-location narratives tend to drift.
  • This tier is draft-first (slightly less detail/fidelity than full Veo 3.1).
  • Tiny UI text and small lettering are unreliable — add in post.
