This comprehensive guide provides an in-depth exploration of Google's groundbreaking Veo3 model and delivers a complete prompting technique for achieving character consistency across scenes and other key capabilities of this model.

Prompt: Podcast show, a beautiful Caucasian woman in a cream turtleneck and soft beige overcoat, with light brown wavy hair tied in a messy low bun, a few strands loosely framing her face. She looks directly at the camera, calm and focused, speaking into a studio mic saying: "Welcome to Atlabs AI detailed guide to prompting with Veo3..."

  1. Getting Started with Veo3 in AtlabsAI

Creating stunning AI-generated videos has never been easier. With Google DeepMind’s latest innovation, Veo3, now available through the AtlabsAI platform, you have the power to produce incredible videos effortlessly.

  1. Sharper Video Quality: Generate crisp, realistic videos directly from text or image prompts, improving scene consistency and visual clarity.

  2. Natural Speech and Lip-Sync: Automatically create accurate dialogues and voiceovers, ensuring that characters speak naturally and their lips move in perfect sync.

  3. Integrated Audio Generation: Add ambient music and precise sound effects that align seamlessly with your visuals, eliminating the need for additional editing.

  1. Understanding Veo3’s Core Strengths

  • Fluid Synchronization of Video and Audio

Veo3 effortlessly generates videos with perfect audio-visual synchronization. From natural dialogue and precise lip-syncing to immersive sound effects and ambient music, it creates complete, cohesive audiovisual experiences.

Prompt: Slow dolly-in, black-and-white vintage film look with soft focus and film grain. A young woman in a flowing Edwardian dress plays a grand piano in a lavish 1900s drawing room. Camera moves from her gliding fingers to a close-up of her emotive face lit by flickering candelabra. Velvet drapes, gilded furniture, and chandeliers drift into view with ornate shadows and a soft breeze moving sheer curtains. Melancholic Chopin-style nocturne plays on solo piano, recorded like an antique phonograph warm mono tone, with faint crackle, floor creaks, and distant ticking clock.

  • Cinematic Quality and Nuanced Details

Easily capture cinematic scenes with intricate details and subtle creative nuances. Whether it's the exact color of a sunset sky or how afternoon sunlight dances on water, Veo3 produces vivid, high-definition videos directly from your prompts.

Prompt: Time-lapse of London city from sunrise to sunset, shot in 4K. Golden morning light spills over the Thames, casting long shadows across bridges and rooftops. Clouds drift as the sky shifts from warm amber to cool blues. Red buses streak through streets, crowds blur into motion. By evening, city lights glow under a lavender sky fading into twilight. Soft, ambient piano and strings play beneath, soothing and reflective, matching the rhythm of passing time.

  • Realistic Motion and Physics

Veo3 grounds videos in authentic physics, resulting in lifelike water flows, accurate shadows, natural human motion, and believable object interactions. This realism ensures each scene is credible yet creatively flexible

Prompt: Realistic 4K footage close-up of a knife rapidly cutting a neon green glowing crystal pineapple on a marble slab. It slices it multiple times, each slice topples forward with a sharp sound. The inside of the fruit is also crystal. The sound is ASMR style.

  1. Crafting the Best Prompts for Veo3

A well-crafted prompt is the cornerstone of creating outstanding videos with Veo3. Clearly communicating your vision in simple, precise language ensures the model generates exactly the results you want.

  • Start with the main action, then add camera details, stylistic cues, and audio elements to bring clarity and depth. 

  • Combine precise filmmaking language (e.g., "wide-angle shot") with imaginative descriptions ("golden sunset") for richer, more vivid visuals.

  • Explain how actions impact the environment to maintain realism and logical coherence.

Prompt Checklist for Crafting Best Veo3 Videos

✅ Scene Overview: Clearly describe the overall scene—who’s involved, what they're doing, and the general atmosphere.

✅ Main Subject: Who or what is the main focus? (person, animal, object). Clearly state the subject’s specific action (walking, turning, jumping).

✅ Background / Context: Specify the exact location (e.g., inside a café, city street, forest at sunrise).

✅ Visual Style: Choose an aesthetic clearly (cinematic, realistic, animated, surreal).

✅ Camera Motion & Framing: Define camera movement clearly (e.g., aerial shot, slow pan, static). Specify composition clearly (e.g., wide shot, close-up, eye-level).

✅ Ambiance & Lighting: Describe mood clearly (e.g., warm tones, nighttime scene, dramatic shadows).

✅ Color Palette: Specify dominant colors clearly (e.g., pastels, bold colors, muted earth tones).

✅ Audio (Optional but helpful): Mention specific sounds or music clearly (e.g., rain sounds, footsteps, song cues).

✅ Dialogue / Background Noise (Optional): Clearly note any specific dialogue or ambient noise you want (e.g., crowd murmuring, traffic sounds, character dialogue).

Some examples:

Prompt: Live gameplay footage of a dark, atmospheric horror game set in an abandoned hospital. The main screen shows dim corridors lit by flickering flashlights and fluorescent flickers, while a picture-in-picture webcam in the bottom-right shows a blonde female Twitch streamer in a hoodie and headset. She’s visibly tense under a cool-toned LED key light. On-screen chat and subscriber alerts overlay the stream. As a sudden jump scare hits, she screams, "OH MY GOD—WHAT WAS THAT?!"
Ambient creepy soundscape, high-pitched screech, flashlight flickers. No subtitles.

Prompt: POV shaky-cam footage. A survivor runs through crumbling city streets, chased by scary mutant creatures. The camera moves fast through narrow alleys, over rooftops, and past wrecked cars. The survivor hides behind a wall, breathing heavily. Suddenly — a loud jump-scare.

4. Advanced Character Consistency Techniques

When using traditional diffusion models like Flux, Stable Diffusion, or Midjourney, generating the same prompt multiple times usually produces varied results. Veo3, however, behaves differently; running identical prompts typically produces very similar outcomes. You’ll often see nearly identical characters, clothes, and environments. Repeated attempts with the same prompt can become inefficient, and you will burn your credits.

To maintain strong character consistency with Veo3, always:

Clearly detail your character’s appearance:

  • Physical build (tall, slender, muscular, etc.)

  • Hairstyle and color

  • Facial features (eye shape, facial hair, distinguishing marks)

  • Expressions or emotional tone (smiling, serious, focused)

  • Fully describe clothing and accessories and mention fit clearly (tight, loose, flowing)

Few examples:

Prompt: A cheerful Japanese woman in her late 20s, with straight shoulder-length jet-black hair and soft bangs. She wears a sleek black blouse with subtle satin sheen, slightly puffed sleeves, and minimal silver jewelry. Her makeup is light and natural, with a warm smile. She is in a bright, modern indoor space with soft daylight streaming through a large window. She says, “ こんにちわThank you for creating me for this blog.” No subtitles.

Prompt: A Japanese woman in her late 20s, with straight shoulder-length jet-black hair and soft bangs. She wears a sleek black blouse with a subtle satin sheen, slightly puffed sleeves, and minimal silver jewelry. Her makeup is light and natural. She looks somber, her eyes slightly downcast and lips trembling. She stands in a bright, modern indoor space with soft daylight coming through a large window. In a soft, sad voice, she says: “Am I... not going to exist after this blog? 本当にこれで終わりなの?” No subtitles.


Prompt: Podcast show, a beautiful Caucasian woman in a cream turtleneck and soft beige overcoat, with light brown wavy hair tied in a messy low bun, a few strands loosely framing her face. She looks directly at the camera, calm and focused, speaking into a studio mic, saying: "Hope you found the guide helpful! Give Veo 3 a try on AtlabsAI, and don’t forget to follow us on social media."
