FAQ

Can I add voice‑overs?

Veo 3 generates music/SFX automatically. For narration, add a voice‑over in post with your editor or a TTS tool, then mux audio with the MP4.

Are audio results deterministic?

Audio varies per generation. If a take isn’t ideal, re‑generate with the same prompt or adjust mood keywords (e.g., "ambient", "dramatic").

Does audio change the price?
