Video and motion / ANALYSIS AND PRACTICE

Veo.

Define the scene, movement and soundscape

A video generator for scenes where visuals and sound both matter: movement, atmosphere, speech or ambient noise. Helps test a short scene's staging before complex production.

WHAT IT DOES

Features
in detail.

  • Video from a text description
  • Sound, speech and scene atmosphere
  • First frame, or first and last frames
  • Extending YesAI videos in the web interface

Build the scene around one event

For a short video, choose one expressive action: someone opens a workshop, a paper boat crosses a puddle or an object appears in soft light. State the space, time of day and viewpoint. Then describe the change within the scene. Trying to fit a character introduction, chase and ending into one prompt makes the connection between events hard to sustain.

YesAI presents Veo as a video model with sound. Build the description in two layers: what is seen and what is heard. Rain outside, footsteps on a wooden floor and a short spoken line create different focal points. Choose the main one and specify which sounds must not drown it out.

Specify speech and background sound separately

If a character speaks, write the exact short line and identify the speaker. Add the language and a simple delivery direction, such as 'quietly, as in ordinary conversation'. Avoid several long dialogues in one scene. Listen to all generated speech: correct-looking visuals do not prove accurate wording or balanced volume.

A speech-free scene still needs deliberate sound direction. Room noise, wind and music are not interchangeable. For a product demonstration, request only natural action sounds if music would interfere. Assess the connection between audio and action, not merely whether a soundtrack exists.

Frames and story continuation

The service supports a starting-image workflow and a first-and-last-frame mode. Describe how the scene should move between states. For photograph animation, separately list stationary elements: background, building geometry or product shape. Check these throughout the finished video.

YesAI's web interface can extend Veo videos created there. Evaluate the original segment and choose one worth continuing. The form below sends a description to Veo; select source frames and current settings in YesAI.

Suitable tasks

  • Short scene with a spoken line
  • Product video with an ambient soundscape
  • Bringing an image to life
  • Visual trial of a screenplay scene

Things to consider

  • Sound, speech and frame details may require another attempt.
  • Extension in the web interface does not imply an equivalent API method.
  • Source images must be added in YesAI separately.

FROM AN EXAMPLE TO YOUR OWN IDEA

Where to start a prompt

Choose an example and insert your own details.

01

Scene with a spoken line

A small workshop with morning window light. A craftsperson places a finished wooden toy on the table and calmly says in Russian: «Теперь можно проверять». The camera is static, with one continuous shot. A quiet sound of wood meeting the table, no music or additional voices.

02

Atmosphere without speech

A close-up of a paper boat drifting slowly across a shallow puddle after rain. The camera follows smoothly near the water surface. Soft overcast light. Water and occasional drops are audible, with no music, speech or lettering.

03

Animating a frame

After uploading the image, preserve the room and furniture positions. The curtain moves slightly in the breeze, and the light slowly becomes warmer. A stationary camera. Quiet street noise outside, no people or music.

Source files are needed. Upload them in YesAI first, then add this description.

A FEW MORE ANSWERS

Questions about Veo

Can I request speech in Russian?

Veo's YesAI page lists Russian speech and dialogue. Specify a short, exact line and always listen to the result.

Is uploading a photograph required?

No, you can describe a video with text. A starting frame is useful when the video must begin with a specific image; upload files in YesAI.

Can I continue an existing video?

YesAI's web interface supports extending Veo videos created there. Open the result and check the available extension action.
