You can use Veo on Vertex AI to generate new videos from a text
prompt or an image
prompt that you provide in the Google Cloud console
or send in a request to the Vertex AI
API.
You can also use Veo to extend existing videos, and instruct
the model to use specific images as the first and last frame of a video.
Veo generates realistic and high quality videos from natural
language text and image prompts, including images of people of all ages.
Veo may provide you an error that indicates that your
Google Cloud project needs to be approved for person or child generation,
depending on the context of your text or image prompt.
If you require approval, please contact your Google account representative.
