Step-by-Step: Create Your First Veo 3 Video
-
Open the Veo page:
Try Veo in Gemini.
Sign in to your Google account and activate a trial if prompted. -
Choose a mode:
- Text → Video: Describe the scene you want.
- Image → Video: Upload a reference image to animate.
-
Write a concise prompt (8-second limit). Include:
- Subject & action (e.g., “talking presenter in a studio”)
- Style (cinematic, vlog, news, etc.)
- Camera (medium shot, smooth dolly-in)
- Audio (energetic background music; clear voiceover)
- On-screen text (channel name, CTA)
-
Set duration: Veo 3 currently generates up to ~8 seconds per clip.
You can later “extend” or stitch multiple clips to form a longer video. -
Generate and review the clip. If needed, refine the prompt:
add specific gestures, lighting, or timing (“2 seconds logo intro, 5 seconds talking, 1 second CTA”). - Download and post-edit (optional) in your editor (CapCut, Premiere, etc.).
Copy-Paste Prompt Templates (Talking Person)
1) Presenter Promo (8 seconds)
A confident presenter in a modern studio, medium shot, soft key lighting, subtle camera dolly-in. The presenter speaks clearly: “DocMCQs — daily solved MCQs! Follow now and ace your exams!” Add upbeat background music, auto-mix with voice. On-screen lower-third: “DocMCQs | PPSC • FPSC • CSS”. Clean color grade, crisp subtitles, end with logo freeze frame.
2) Question Hook (8 seconds)
A friendly tutor stands by a digital board, medium shot. On-screen text animates: “Preparing for PPSC/FPSC?” The tutor says: “Get daily solved MCQs on DocMCQs — follow now!” Upbeat music, subtle whoosh transitions, final frame shows channel handle + bell icon.
3) Punchline (8 seconds)
Presenter to camera, energetic tone: “DocMCQs — your shortcut to exam success!” Add quick kinetic text matching the line. Snappy bass hit on the final word. End with logo stinger.
Best Practices for Crisp 8-Second Clips
- Keep script ≤ 20–25 words for clear speech within 8 seconds.
- Ask for “native audio” and specify background music tempo.
- Use camera language (medium shot, eye-level, dolly-in) to guide framing.
- End with a clear CTA and a logo freeze (0.5–1s).
- Iterate: generate 2–3 versions, then pick the best.
