Google has just announced Veo 3.1, an upgraded version of its AI video generation model, and with it comes major enhancements to Flow, Google’s AI filmmaking tool. These updates bring richer audio, more narrative control, and finer editing precision.
What’s New in Veo 3.1 + Flow
Veo 3.1 builds on the foundation laid by Veo 3 and adds important improvements across both visual and audio dimensions:
Richer native audio: Flow now supports audio generation across features like Ingredients-to-Video, Frames-to-Video, and Scene Extension.
Stronger prompt adherence & realism: The model more faithfully follows user inputs and produces more realistic textures, lighting, and details.
First/last frame control: You can provide a starting and ending image, and Veo will generate a smooth transition video between them.
Longer seamless videos (Extend / Scene Extension): Videos can now be extended by generating additional footage that links to the final second of the original clip.
Insert & upcoming Remove: Flow lets you insert new elements into scenes (with lighting and shadow consistency), and Google says a remove-capability (to delete objects and reconstruct backgrounds) is coming soon.
These additions give creators much greater control when crafting cinematic and coherent AI-generated video sequences.
Veo 3.1 (and a faster variant “Veo 3.1 Fast”) is available via Gemini API (in paid preview), Vertex AI for enterprises, and inside the Gemini app and Flow.
InVideo + Veo 3.1: Democratizing Cinematic Video Creation
InVideo has become the first platform to integrate Google’s Veo 3.1, giving users instant access to these advanced AI video capabilities without needing deep technical setup.
With Veo 3.1 in InVideo, creators can:
Maintain character consistency across scenes
Use first/last frame control to guide transitions
Build viral-style transformations and transitions
Merge reference images to ensure stylistic coherence
While Veo 3.1 itself typically generates clips of up to ~8 seconds, InVideo amplifies that by transforming them into fully fleshed cinematic stories handling composition, pacing, editing, and sound.
InVideo describes itself not just as a video generator but a full-stack production environment: it automates hundreds of creative decisions, from editing to scripting to audio mixing, streamlining what once required large teams and budgets.
Why Veo 3.1 + Flow Changes the Game
Creative control, not black box AI
You can shape your scenes, transitions, and audio in much more granular ways, not just “AI does it for me,” but “I guide what happens.”Bridging image and video worlds
The first/last frame control and reference image merging make it possible to transform static visuals into living, dynamic sequences.Lifespan beyond 8 seconds
The Extend feature means your stories aren’t stuck in 8-second loops creators can now build more immersive, longer-form narratives.Platform accessibility
By integrating Veo 3.1 into tools like InVideo, advanced AI video isn’t just for developers and studios it’s for marketers, creators, educators, small brands.Emerging editing intelligence
The ability to insert, and (soon) remove objects, with consistent lighting and environment reconstruction, is a step toward making editing as fluid as prompting.
Final Thoughts
Google’s Veo 3.1 + Flow upgrades represent a major leap in AI-powered video creation. They give creators real control in transitions, audio, visual consistency, and seamless editing rather than leaving everything to chance.
With InVideo unlocking Veo 3.1, the power to generate cinematic stories is no longer limited to big studios. It’s in the hands of marketers, educators, creators, anyone with an idea.
We’re at the beginning of an era where an idea can become a scene, a scene becomes a story, and a story becomes a film, all with minimal friction.
Watch this space, the future of video is unfolding faster than ever.
