Creating AI Videos with Google's Veo 3 (A Look Behind the Scenes)

I wanted to give you a behind-the-scenes look at something I have been testing recently, AI video creation using Google’s new video model, Veo 3. This is part of Google’s Gemini platform and is one of the most advanced video AI tools currently available.

I’ll walk you through how I’ve been using it, what works, what does not, and what this means for content creators moving forward.

What Is Veo 3?

Veo 3 is Google’s latest AI video generation model. It is built on top of Gemini, Google’s version of ChatGPT. Using Veo 3, you can generate 8-second video clips from simple text prompts...complete with visuals, sound, and motion.

Right now, I am testing it using the Gemini Ultra plan, which runs about $200/month. Not cheap, but I wanted to see what’s possible and how we might leverage this for our businesses.

There are two ways to generate video:

• Directly inside Gemini’s chat interface
• Using Google Flow, which allows for stitching together multiple clips into longer videos

My Process for Creating an AI Promo Video

Here’s a quick summary of how I created a short Wealthy Affiliate promo video:

1. I wrote a detailed prompt describing the scene, the mood, and the audio.
2. I generated the video using Veo 3 within Gemini.
3. After a short 2–3 minute render, I downloaded the final result.

I also tried creating another version using Flow, which allowed me to build multiple scenes and combine them into a longer video with more flexibility.

The Results (And Limitations)

The result? Visually, it looked great. But there were a few issues:

• The audio was missing, no voiceover, only music.
• "Wealthy Affiliate" was included in the background, but spelled incorrectly and did not represent the actual platform.
• Like most AI video tools, it still misinterprets or omits key prompt elements.

While it’s not perfect yet, the potential is enormous. We are now able to go from a simple idea to a rendered video ad in minutes.

Why I’m Leaning Toward Flow

Flow (also owned by Google) allows you to:

• Build longer video sequences
• Add consistent music and narration
• Create full promotional or educational content

I’ve found it more reliable than using Gemini alone when working with multiple video clips.

This is where I see more potential moving forward, and I’ll be sharing more in-depth content around that as I continue experimenting.

Final Thoughts: The Future of AI Video

The most important thing to remember is this:

"What we are seeing today is the LEAST capable AI will ever be."

Every day, these tools improve. Tomorrow’s results will be sharper, more accurate, and more customizable. Whether it’s:

• Realistic talking avatars
• Stylized cartoons
• Branded ads or product explainers

You will be able to create whatever you imagine...with just your words.
