How to Use Veo 4 Text to Video

  1. Write a detailed prompt Veo 4 excels at following precise instructions. Include subject, action, setting, lighting, camera movement, and mood. Example: 'A drone shot rises above a foggy mountain valley at sunrise, revealing a medieval village below, cinematic color grade, slow push-in.'

  2. Set duration Choose between 5 and 30 seconds. Longer durations are better for narrative sequences; shorter clips work well for loops and transitions.

  3. Choose aspect ratio

    • 16:9 — standard widescreen
    • 9:16 — vertical for mobile
    • 1:1 — square format
  4. Submit and poll POST to /api/v1/veo-4-text-to-video and poll GET /api/v1/predictions/{request_id}/result until status is completed.

  5. Prompt tips for best results

    • Name camera moves explicitly: 'tracking shot', 'handheld', 'crane up', 'dolly zoom'.
    • Specify lighting: 'golden hour', 'overcast diffused light', 'neon-lit night scene'.
    • For multi-subject scenes, clearly describe each subject's position and action.
