Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good Veo 3 prompt?

A good Veo 3 prompt should be specific, descriptive, and well-structured. Include details about camera angles, lighting, subject description, movement, and quality. Aim for 15-30 words that clearly convey your vision without being overly complex.

How long should a Veo 3 prompt be?

Optimal Veo 3 prompts are typically 15-30 words. This length provides enough detail for precise generation while avoiding confusion from excessive information. Focus on the most important elements: subject, action, style, and technical specifications.
