New Delhi: Google DeepMind has recently announced its Veo 3.1, which is the latest version of its generative video model, alongside expanded capabilities in the Flow, its AI filmmaking tool. The update has introduced audio generation, new editing options, and greater control over the video creation. Five months ago, they introduced Flow, their AI filmmaking tool powered by Veo, and have been inspired by the creativity it has sparked with over 275 million videos generated. Veo 3.1 offers better narrative control and realism, building on the Veo 3 model with stronger prompt adherence and improved audiovisual quality when it converts images into videos.

The model is now integrated with the Flow when converting images into videos. The latest release brings audio support to existing Flow tools such as the Ingredients to Video, Frames to Video, and Extend, allowing the creators to produce videos with synchronised sound. The company has stated that the latest features are still in development and will be refined further based on user feedback. With the ingredients for Videos, users can control the appearance of their scenes using multiple reference images. Frames to Video lets them generate smooth transitions between two static images, while Extend allows the creation of longer, continuous shots that build on previous clips.
Flow also adds the latest editing tools. The insert feature enables users to add the latest elements, such as characters or objects, into the scenes, while an upcoming Remove function will allow unwanted objects to be deleted seamlessly. Flow now handles complex details like shadows and scene lighting, making additions and removals appear natural. The Veo 3.1 launch comes just days after OpenAI released Sora 2, its latest video and audio generation model, along with the social iOS application called Sora that lets users create, remix, and insert themselves into generated videos.
