One of the tricks you can try is turning a still image <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/google-releases-photo-to-video-gemini-veo-3-capabilities-and-it-might-just-blow-your-mind\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/google-releases-photo-to-video-gemini-veo-3-capabilities-and-it-might-just-blow-your-mind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">into a video<\/a>: just describe what you want to happen in the picture, and after a couple of minutes of thinking, Veo 3 will do the rest.<\/p>\n<p>You can also start from scratch of course. Try and be as detailed as you can with your prompts, specifying what&#8217;s happening in the scene, how your characters should move, the style the video should be in, where the camera is positioned, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Clips created with Veo 3, which are limited to eight seconds, also come with sound attached: you might want to give some instructions here too, otherwise the video generator will fill the silence with something generic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<p>While the AI video generation technology in Google Veo 3 is undoubtedly impressive, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/i-tried-recreating-memories-with-veo-3-and-it-went-better-than-i-thought-with-one-big-exception\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/computing\/artificial-intelligence\/i-tried-recreating-memories-with-veo-3-and-it-went-better-than-i-thought-with-one-big-exception\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it&#8217;s far from perfect<\/a> \u2013 there are often plenty of weird glitches on show.
