Advanced Veo 3 Techniques and Tips

Go beyond the basics with these advanced methods to improve consistency, pacing, and overall quality in your videos.

Writing Better Prompts

The more specific your prompt, the better your output.

Be specific about timing: Add phrases like “slow motion,” “quick cuts,” or “5-second duration”
Include camera direction: Mention “close-up,” “wide shot,” or “tracking shot”
Describe audio elements: Add sound cues like “ambient street noise” or “upbeat music”
Set the mood: Use terms like “golden hour” or “dramatic shadows”

Keeping Style and Characters Consistent

Maintain a professional look by reusing visual elements across scenes.

Upload a reference image in the Ingredients panel
Mention “matching uploaded reference style” in your prompt
Generate clips that align visually for consistency

Creating Multi-Shot Sequences

Use Veo 3 for structured storytelling across several scenes.

Sketch a basic storyboard to plan each shot
Generate each scene separately in Veo 3
Use Powtoon’s timeline to arrange clips
Add transitions for a seamless sequence

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If your video doesn’t turn out the way you expected, here are some quick ways to fix common problems:

Video doesn’t match your prompt: Make your prompt more detailed. Focus on specific visuals, actions, or moods.
Audio sounds off: Describe the sound clearly in your prompt—mention tone, volume, or specific background noise.
Characters look different across scenes: Upload a reference image and use consistent character descriptions in each prompt.
