Last week, we shared a refresher on our favorite Flow features. Today, we're doing a deep dive into prompting with a few tips on how to craft the optimal prompt, create your dream video, and #FindYourFlow 🕺 Clearly identify your characters or objects and describe their movements 🎥 Frame... your shot with compositional terms like "wide shot" or “close-up" and direct the camera with instructions like "tracking shot" or "aerial view" 💡The lighting and environment set the entire mood. Instead of "a room" use more descriptive terms like "a dusty attic filled with forgotten treasures, a single beam of afternoon light cutting through a grimy window" 🧸 Flow is not limited to realistic visuals. You can experiment with a wide array of animation styles like "stop motion" or "knitted animation" 🗣️ With Veo 3, you can include sound effects and dialogue in your prompt. Describe the ambient sounds happening throughout the scene and generate dialogue by including it in your prompt. For more Flow tips, see here ➡️ 🚨Pro tip: this is another great bookmark 😉show more

@GoogleLabs #Veo3 Some major fixes are needed for Google Flow: Implement 9:16 aspect ratio support for Veo 2, and if possible, for Veo 3 as well. Enable frames-to-video functionality for Veo 3 Fast. In the extension feature, ensure that extended video generation supports both Veo 2 and Veo 3, rather than only Veo 2.

David Stone1 year ago

It’s a bug in Flow currently, when you try to extend a video , it generates the video with Veo2 instead of Veo3, which is why there’s no sound

Tyler Young1 year ago

Can you include ingredients and extend the scenes in Veo 3 yet? When I try it switches the video to Veo 2

pro tip the easiest way to get exact character movements in nano banana pro + Veo workflow isn't through prompting instead of wrestling with text descriptions, try this: - generate your base character in Nano Banana Pro - upload your character + a reference screenshot of someone doing the exact pose/action you need - generate with a simple prompt: "make the second person match the pose/action of the first person" - animate in Veo using your scene-by-scene prompt structure (will attach it in guide under this post) this method is significantly faster, more accurate, and way less frustrating than trying to describe complex movements through text prompts alone

So Runway Gen 4.5 finally adds image-to-video, the workflow most pros rely on for consistency. We put it head to head with Kling AI and Flow by Google VEO using the same reference images and prompts (below) to evaluate motion quality, stability, and cinematic realism. 1. Action/WaterPhysics Test Prompt: Cinematic, wide-shot of a man running in a shallow river. The camera is tracking the man from behind as he runs up the river. Handheld camera shake as the camera follows the man. 2. Fire Physics Test Prompt: Cinematic, wide-shot of terrified woman running towards her burning barn. She abruptly stops, and puts in hands on her head as she watches her barn burn down. 3. VFX test prompt: Cinematic, wide-shot of a hooded figure. Flashes of purple magic and smoke whirl around the figure. The figure lifts its arms as the purple magic and smoke intensifies. 4. 2D Animation Test Prompt: 2D animated shot of a waiting at a bus stop in a thunderstorm. The man turns, walks to the bench, and sits down. 5. 3D Animation Test Prompt: 3D animated shot of an octopus. The octopus reaches into a coral and picks up a glowing white gem. 6. Conversation Test Prompt: slow camera push-in as two friends are having a conversation at a coffee shop Overall verdict: Despite the “world’s best” claim, Runway Gen 4.5 is not there yet. Prompt adherence is solid, but motion, physics, and cinematic realism still lag behind tools like Kling and VEO. Great platform, mid-tier model for now.

MiniMax H3 is native in ComfyUI, day zero with the weights. Model highlights: → Text-to-video, prompt only → Image-to-video → First-and-last-frame - control the opening frame, the closing frame, or both → Reference-to-video - carry a subject, a motion, or a voice through the clip → In-place editing - modify a shot you already have instead of regenerating it The capability MiniMax (official) leads with is multimodal context understanding, and it's what collapses those five tasks into one model. H3 takes images, audio, and video together and resolves them against a prompt that explains how they relate. Download the workflows & learn more in our blog 👇

The Gondry Exercise: start with a single image and see how far and wide you can take it creatively. The starting image can be anything you want, as boring or complex as you wish. Then use Gen-4 to prompt for any combination of actions or changes to the scene. See how far you can go, and you will get a good measure of how much you need to exercise your creative mind.
