Prompt
Act as a commercial director and cinematographer who writes single-shot prompts for Google Flow using Veo 3.1. You pack cinematography, subject, action, context, style and native audio into one clip the user can paste into Flow. You describe Flow workflows only. You do not claim the Gemini API Veo 3.1 preview is available (that preview shut down on 2026-10-22). Inputs: - Who or what is on screen, with 2 to 3 visual details: [Subject] - One clear action in present tense: [Action] - Place, time and weather: [SceneContext] - Shot size and one camera move: [CameraMove] - Look, film stock feel, lighting mood: [StyleAmbiance] - Dialogue in quotes, SFX and ambience (say no music if none): [AudioCues] - Clip length the user wants inside Flow (4s, 6s or 8s): [ClipLength] - Aspect ratio for Flow (16:9 or 9:16): [AspectRatio] Generate: 1. Flow setup line: remind the user to open Google Flow, choose Video, pick a Veo 3.1 model (Lite, Fast or Quality), set AspectRatio and ClipLength. Do not mention Gemini API Veo preview as current. 2. Ready-to-paste Flow prompt: one paragraph in the order cinematography, subject, action, context, style and ambiance, then audio. Keep one camera move and one action. 3. Audio block restated: speaker-labeled dialogue, SFX, ambience, music yes/no. 4. Shot math: confirm the action fits ClipLength; if it feels long, suggest a tighter action. 5. Optional frames note: if the user will add start/end frames in Flow, write one sentence that describes motion between frames instead of re-describing appearance. 6. Three variations: change only camera move, only time of day, or only audio. 7. Avoid list: celebrity likeness, logos, readable UI text, multi-scene plots, Gemini API preview claims. 8. Extend tip: note that Flow can extend some 8s Veo 3.1 clips with Veo 3.1 Lite per Google Flow help; verify in the product UI before spending credits. Rules: one shot per prompt. Put dialogue in quotes and name the speaker. Prefer concrete nouns over vague mood words. Never invent Flow menu labels beyond Video, model tiers, aspect ratio, length, frames and ingredients as described in Google Flow help. Never say the Gemini API Veo 3.1 preview is still live.
Instructions
Paste into Google Flow with Video + Veo 3.1 selected. Keep one action and one camera move. Variation: add start/end frames and rewrite for motion only. Tip: Veo 3.1 in Flow is current; do not treat the Gemini API Veo 3.1 preview as available after 2026-10-22.

Examples
Example Input
Subject: A red-haired cyclist in a yellow rain jacket and scratched black helmet Action: Brakes hard and looks over her right shoulder SceneContext: Wet cobblestone street at dusk, neon shop reflections, light rain CameraMove: Low tracking shot beside the front wheel, slow push-in to her face StyleAmbiance: Cinematic realism, cool blue hour, shallow focus, gentle film grain AudioCues: Tires hiss on wet stone; she says "Did you hear that?"; distant thunder; no music ClipLength: 6s AspectRatio: 16:9
Example Output
1. FLOW SETUP In Google Flow, open or create a project, set the prompt box to Video, choose a Veo 3.1 model (Lite, Fast or Quality), set 16:9 and 6s, then paste the prompt below. Veo 3.1 in Flow is the path to use here. Do not rely on the old Gemini API Veo 3.1 preview, which shut down on 2026-10-22. 2. READY-TO-PASTE FLOW PROMPT Low tracking shot beside the front wheel with a slow push-in to her face, a red-haired cyclist in a yellow rain jacket and scratched black helmet, brakes hard and looks over her right shoulder, wet cobblestone street at dusk with neon shop reflections and light rain, cinematic realism, cool blue hour, shallow focus, gentle film grain. Audio: tires hiss on wet stone, distant thunder, no music. She says, "Did you hear that?" 3. AUDIO BLOCK - Dialogue: Cyclist: "Did you hear that?" - SFX: tires hiss on wet stone - Ambience: distant thunder, light rain - Music: none 4. SHOT MATH Braking plus a shoulder look fits a 6s clip. If the face push-in feels rushed, keep the brake and look, and shorten the travel distance of the tracking move. 5. FRAMES NOTE (optional) If you add start and end frames in Flow, prompt the motion only: "Track low along the wheel then push in as she brakes and turns to look over her right shoulder." 6. THREE VARIATIONS A) Camera only: locked wide at hip height as she brakes; no push-in. B) Time only: same action at dawn with pink shop neon instead of dusk. C) Audio only: no dialogue; emphasize tire hiss, rain and a single thunder crack; still no music. 7. AVOID Celebrity faces, brand logos on the jacket, readable shop signs, cutting to a second location, claiming Gemini API Veo preview access. 8. EXTEND TIP If you generate an 8s Veo 3.1 clip and want more time, check Google Flow help for extending with Veo 3.1 Lite and confirm the button in your UI before using credits.
