Ingredients to Video in Veo 3.1 now supports portrait-sized clips in Google Vids
Last month, we introduced Ingredients to Video in Google Vids, a new capability that uses Veo 3.1 to help users generate short videos based on reference images and a simple prompt. Today we’re announcing improvements to Veo 3.1 that allow you to generate portrait-sized clips with faster pace and engaging shots, all while delivering realistic audio and maintaining consistency of objects, characters, and backgrounds.
Customers using images of their office, products, and teammates to produce immersive video content in marketing, announcements, explainer videos, and more, can now easily size these for sharing on social channels.
