Gotchas

  • Veo 3 and 3.1 generate native audio — use generate_audio: false to suppress
  • The 1080p endpoint (/veo/videos/1080p) only upscales previously generated videos
  • enhance_prompt can significantly improve results but may deviate from literal interpretation
  • Veo 2 does NOT support audio generation
  • Duration is capped at 8 seconds for all models
  • Task states use "succeeded" (not "completed") — check for this value when polling
