Veo offers a range of features to enhance video creation, including reference-powered video, camera controls, and character controls. Reference-powered video allows users to ensure videos align with their creative intent by providing images of a scene, character, or object to guide the generation. Camera controls enable precise control over the framing and movement of shots, while character controls bring characters to life using body, face, and voice to animate them.
Veo has achieved state-of-the-art results in head-to-head comparisons of outputs by human raters over top video generation models. It has also been designed with safety and responsibility in mind, featuring a watermarking and detecting technology called SynthID. Veo outputs undergo safety evaluations and checks for memorized content to reduce potential issues related to privacy, copyright infringement, and bias. The model is continuously being refined to improve audio synchronization and eliminate instances of incoherent speech.
