Veo 3's breakthrough feature is generating perfectly synchronized dialogue. Use these techniques:
Direct Dialogue Prompting:
The teacher stands at the whiteboard and says: "Today we'll explore photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert sunlight into energy."
Conversational Dialogue:
The woman asks: "Where should we meet for lunch?" The man replies: "How about that new Italian place downtown?"
Emotional Dialogue:
The CEO pauses thoughtfully, then says with conviction: "This is the direction our company needs to go." Her voice carries determination mixed with slight uncertainty.
Layered Soundscapes:
Audio: Distant traffic hum, occasional car horns, footsteps on pavement, muffled conversations, city ambiance with subtle building echoes.
Natural Environments:
Audio: Gentle wind through trees, various bird songs, rustling leaves, distant water flowing, peaceful forest atmosphere.
Professional Settings:
Audio: Soft keyboard typing, air conditioning hum, muffled phone conversations, paper rustling, professional office ambiance.
Mood-Based Music:
Audio: Uplifting orchestral music with strings and brass, building to an inspiring crescendo, conveying hope and determination.
Genre-Specific Scoring:
Audio: Soft jazz piano with subtle bass line, creating sophisticated, intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a high-end lounge.
Dynamic Musical Development:
Audio: Tension-building electronic music starting minimal, adding layers of synths and percussion, reaching climax as the character makes their decision.
Action-Synchronized Audio:
Audio: Sizzling oil in pan, knife chopping vegetables, water boiling, utensils clinking, kitchen cooking ambiance.
Movement and Impact Sounds:
Audio: Footsteps running on gravel, heavy breathing, door slamming, car engine starting, tires screeching.
Technology and Interface Sounds:
Audio: Device startup chime, button clicks, screen interface sounds, notification alerts, modern tech ambiance.
✅ WORKS - Colon Format (Prevents Subtitles):
The detective looks directly at camera and says: "Something's not right here." His voice carries suspicion and determination.
❌ FAILS - Quote Format (Causes Subtitles):
The detective says: "Something's not right here." (Avoid this format)
Problem: AI mispronounces names or complex words Solution: Use phonetic spelling
Original: "Read on to get Fofur and Shridar's guidance"
Fixed: "Read on to get foh-fur's and Shreedar's guidance"
Perfect Length (8-second rule):
Sarah, a confident CEO, looks at camera and says: "Our Q3 results exceeded all expectations, positioning us for unprecedented growth."
Too Long (Causes rushed speech):
Avoid: Long paragraphs that require 15+ seconds to speak naturally
Too Short (Causes silence/gibberish):
Avoid: Single words like "Hello" or "Yes"
Specify Who Speaks When:
The woman in the red dress asks: "Where should we meet for lunch?" The man in the blue shirt replies: "How about that new Italian place downtown?"
Character-Specific Dialogue:
The woman wearing pink says: "But I'm the one who's wearing pink." The man with glasses replies: "No, I'm the one with the glasses."
Let Veo 3 Create Natural Dialogue:
- A standup comic tells a joke
- Two people discuss a movie they just watched
- A man argues passionately over the phone
- A woman shares her inspiring life story
- A teacher explains a complex concept to students
Method 1 - Colon Format:
Use: Character says: "dialogue" (with colon before dialogue)
Avoid: Character says "dialogue" (no colon - triggers subtitles)
KEY: The colon (:) prevents subtitle generation
Method 2 - Explicit Negation:
Add to prompt: "(no subtitles)" or "no subtitles, no text overlays"
Method 3 - Multiple Negatives (For Stubborn Cases):
"No subtitles. No subtitles! No on-screen text whatsoever."
Problem: Unwanted "live studio audience" laughter Solution: Always specify expected background audio
Bad: Character tells a joke (may add unwanted laughter)
Good: Character tells a joke. Audio: quiet office ambiance, no audience sounds, professional atmosphere.
Environmental Audio Specification:
Audio: sounds of distant bands, noisy crowd, ambient background of a busy festival field (prevents wrong audio hallucinations)
Emotional Progression:
The character starts confused and uncertain, then gradually becomes confident and determined, finally ending with a satisfied smile of accomplishment.
Action Sequences:
She first hesitates at the door, then takes a deep breath, finally pushes it open with resolve.
Camera Movement Sequences:
The scene begins with a wide establishing shot, then smoothly transitions to a medium shot at the 3-second mark, finally ending with a close-up on the character's determined expression.
Subtle Emotional Indicators:
His eyes narrow slightly, a small furrow appears between his brows, and he pauses for just a moment before speaking.
Dynamic Character Life:
He steps forward a half-step, raises his chin, eyes focused, inviting conflict.
Eliminating "Model Face":
Eyes squint thoughtfully, head tilts as if processing new information, slight smile begins to form.
Veo 3 excels at realistic water and liquid behavior. Use specific physics terminology:
Water Flow and Splashes:
A glass of water tips over, with realistic physics governing the liquid's flow. Water spreads across the table surface following natural fluid dynamics, creating authentic splash patterns and surface reflections.
Advanced Fluid Behavior:
Rain drops hit the window, each droplet following realistic physics as they merge, streak down the glass surface, and create natural water trails with proper surface tension effects.
Fabric and Cloth Simulation:
A silk scarf falls through the air, its lightweight fabric floating and billowing naturally with air resistance, landing softly with realistic draping and fold patterns.
Rigid Body Physics:
Two billiard balls collide with accurate momentum transfer, the impact creating realistic sound and motion as they separate at proper angles based on physics principles.
Particle System Effects:
Smoke rises from the campfire in realistic wisps, particles dispersing naturally with wind currents, creating volumetric lighting effects as sunlight filters through.
Natural Falling Motion:
Leaves fall from the tree, each following realistic physics with natural rotation, air resistance affecting their descent speed, and authentic landing patterns.
Complex Mechanical Motion:
The pendulum swings with accurate physics, showing proper momentum conservation, gradual energy loss, and realistic oscillation patterns.

Rests on a wooden cutting board bathed in warm lighting. Each deliberate cut produces a rich ASMR soundscape in an otherwise silent room.
Street Interview Template (Viral Optimized):
Create a [PLATFORM]-style street interview video set [TIME] in [LOCATION]. The environment includes [ENVIRONMENTAL_DETAILS]. Use [CAMERA_STYLE] filmed [ANGLE] in [COMPOSITION], with [LENS_TYPE] for [VISUAL_EFFECT]. [INTERVIEWER_DESCRIPTION] holds a mic. They stop [INTERVIEWEE_DESCRIPTION]. [POSITIONING] under [LIGHTING].

Dialogue must be [SYNC_REQUIREMENT]. Keep the energy [ENERGY_STYLE].
Example: Create a TikTok-style street interview video set at night in Times Square, New York City. The environment includes bright flashing billboards, reflective pavement, distant horns, footsteps, light city buzz, and crowd chatter. Use a handheld camera with slight motion shake, filmed at eye level in a two-shot composition, with a wide-angle lens and deep focus for immersive realism. A confident blonde Portuguese woman in her late 20s, stylish and charismatic, wearing a sexy red dress and heels, holds a mic. She stops a slightly eccentric scruffy-looking man in layered streetwear. The two stand close, framed naturally under the bright lights. She speaks playfully but assertively: "Would you rather build your house 30% cheaper and 40% faster… or move back in with your mom like a loser?" The man pauses briefly, then replies in a dry, straightforward tone: "Move back in with my mom? No chance. I'm building the house now." Immediately after his line, add fast-paced meme-style sound effects: a bass-boosted "YOO!", subtle crowd gasp or laugh, and a fast zoom-in on his face with slight glitch effect and natural ambient noise continuing underneath. No subtitles. No on-screen text. No branding. Dialogue must be lip-synced and emotionally accurate. Keep the energy modern, viral, and street-level real.

A neatly trimmed, short beard frames his jawline, adding maturity to his youthful features. He is dressed in classic blue denim jeans, paired with a vibrant red crew-neck t-shirt made of soft cotton. His footwear consists of plain black athletic shoes with subtle white soles. His posture is upright and open, reflecting his approachable nature. No visible scars, tattoos, or unusual markings.
Action: RedShirtGuy stands confidently in front of a whiteboard, dressed in his signature red t-shirt and classic blue jeans. He gestures animatedly with his hands as he begins to explain proper lifting techniques. He bends his knees and keeps his back straight to demonstrate the correct form. After the narrator finishes, RedShirtGuy delivers his line.
Scene: The scene is set in a brightly lit, modern office space. A whiteboard is behind RedShirtGuy, covered in diagrams illustrating the anatomy of the back and legs, along with simple instructions about lifting form. The room is clean and minimalist, with motivational posters on the walls, and a few pieces of modern exercise equipment visible in the background, subtly reinforcing the importance of physical fitness.

Chain-of-Thought Video Framework:
"Create a corporate training video about workplace safety. Let me think through this step by step:
1. First, I need to establish the learning objective: Demonstrate proper lifting techniques to prevent back injury
2. Then, I should structure the narrative: Show incorrect technique → consequences → correct technique → benefits
3. Next, I'll plan the visual elements: Office setting, employee character, heavy boxes, proper posture demonstrations
4. Now for the audio strategy: Professional narrator explaining each step, ambient office sounds, no distracting music
5. Finally, technical specifications: Medium shots for technique demonstration, close-ups for posture details, professional lighting
Based on this reasoning: A professional office environment where an employee demonstrates workplace safety. First, show improper lifting technique with strained expression and poor posture. Then transition to proper technique: feet shoulder-width apart, bend knees not back, lift with legs while maintaining straight spine. Medium shot transitioning to close-up of proper hand placement and posture. Professional three-point lighting, corporate training video style. Audio: Clear instructional narration explaining each step, subtle office ambiance, no background music. The employee says: 'Remember, lift with your legs, not your back for safer workplace practices.'"
Explore multiple creative directions before finalizing:
Tree-of-Thought Video Generation:
"I need to create a product demonstration video. Let me explore different approaches:
Branch 1: Traditional Product Demo
- Clean studio setup with white background
- Professional presenter explaining features
- Multiple camera angles showing product details
- Pros: Clear, professional, informative
- Cons: May be boring, lacks emotional connection
Branch 2: Lifestyle Integration
- Real-world setting showing product in use
- Natural user interactions and benefits
- Emotional storytelling with practical demonstration
- Pros: Relatable, engaging, shows real value
- Cons: May be less focused on technical details
Branch 3: Problem-Solution Narrative
- Start with user frustration without product
- Show transformation after using product
- Before/after comparison with clear benefits
- Pros: Strong emotional hook, clear value proposition
- Cons: May seem contrived if not authentic
Optimal Path Selection: Combine Branch 2 and 3
Reason: Lifestyle integration with problem-solution structure provides both relatability and clear value demonstration.
Final Prompt: A busy professional struggles with disorganized workspace, papers scattered, stress visible on face. Cut to: Same person using [PRODUCT], workspace now organized, confident smile. Split-screen comparison shows before/after states. Natural home office lighting, handheld camera for authenticity. Audio: Frustrated sigh transitioning to satisfied 'That's so much better!' Ambient home office sounds, no background music."
Revolutionary approach for interconnected video elements:
Graph-of-Thought Video Framework:
"Create a multi-character restaurant scene with interconnected storylines:
Vertex Network:
Vertex 1 (Chef): Preparing signature dish → connects to → Vertex 3 (Server)
Vertex 2 (Customer): Waiting expectantly → connects to → Vertex 4 (Ambiance)
Vertex 3 (Server): Delivering order → connects to → Vertex 5 (Reaction)
Vertex 4 (Ambiance): Warm lighting, soft music → connects to → All vertices
Vertex 5 (Reaction): Customer delight → connects back to → Vertex 1 (Chef satisfaction)
Graph Operations:
- Merge: Combine chef's pride with customer satisfaction
- Transform: Server's nervousness becomes confidence through successful delivery
- Validate: All elements support the central theme of culinary excellence
- Optimize: Remove unnecessary complexity, strengthen core narrative
Synthesized Prompt: Upscale restaurant kitchen where a focused chef plates an elegant dish with artistic precision. Cut to: Dining room where an expectant couple waits at candlelit table. Server approaches with the dish, initial nervousness transforming to professional confidence. Customer's eyes widen with delight upon first taste. Final shot returns to chef's satisfied smile seeing the positive reaction. Warm golden lighting throughout, smooth camera transitions between locations. Audio: Kitchen sounds (sizzling, plating), soft restaurant ambiance, customer's appreciative 'This is incredible!' Chef whispers to sous chef: 'Perfect execution tonight.'
Result: 62% more engaging than linear narrative approach, with natural story flow and emotional resonance."
