1. Google Flow Veo 3 Introduction: Hi, and welcome to the
introduction to Google Vo three, the next generation
AI Video creator. My name is Greg Kong, a
Canadian content creator. Welcome inspiring creators, filmmakers, marketers,
and innovators. If you're ready to step into the future of video
generation and storytelling to transform your
wildness ideas into sunning lifelike video
with the power of AI, then this is your
invitation to unlock the cutting edge capabilities
of Google Vo three. This beginner friendly
bite size course, we're not just going to
scratch the surface. We're going to dive deeper
into the fundamentals and incredible benefits of Google's groundbreaking
video generation model. For years, creating
high quality video meant significant
time, resources, and technical expertise,
but with VO three, those barriers are shattering. Imagine creating
cinematic scenes complete with perfectly
synchronized dialogue, immersive soundscapes, and dynamic camera movements all from a simple text prompt. That's the power of VO three. What will you gain
from this course? You're going to learn
the fundamentals. We'll guide you through
the core concepts of prompt engineering for video, navigate through the platform, show you where to
find everything, and how to get the plan to
access your AI credits. We'll also teach
you how to craft precise and effective prompts that bring your vision to life. Also learn how Vo three allows for unprecedented control
over narratives, characters, and scenes and will actually learn how to use
AI to help us with those prompts and how we can bring those
videos generated from video into a video editor to create an actual
short video film. We're going to learn
native audio integration. So this is a game
changer for Vo three. It's not just about visuals. It's about higher quality
audio dialogue, sound effects, and music all built
right within the video, and you're going to learn
this in the course. You're going to learn
real world applications from rapid prototyping
for product concepts to engaging social media content and even cinematic
short quality films. We'll explain how Google V three is already revolutionizing
industries. We're also going to give
you a full workflow on how to get your videos created in V three
to a finish video product. The world of AI is moving fast, and this course will equip you with the knowledge
and practical skills to constantly navigate
the evolving landscape of generative AI for video.
2. Understanding Gemini AI plans & Credits : Alright, as I mentioned, Google Flow is not
a free product. So you need to be on Google's AI Pro or their
Google AI Ultra plan. So here we're just looking at the cost of Google AI Ultra. From Canada, and they're
offering a promo for 170 Canadian for three
months before it increases. You get other benefits
in addition to accessing Google's
flow with VO three. As you can see here,
you get access to 30 terabytes for
storage for photos, Google Drive and Gmail, Gemini app with 2.5 Pro, Deep think coming soon. WISC for generating images
and animating them. 12,500 monthly AI credits, Notebook LM with
its highest limits, Gemini in Gmail
docs, Vds, and more, YouTube premium Individual Plan, and all the other benefits
in the premium plan. Now, for flow, you
may be wondering, how many videos can I
generate on P versus ultra? So I actually asked
this of Gemini, just to give us the breakdown. So it works out that
Google AI Pro is 1999. Google AI Ultra is 24999,
and this is in US. But an Asterix here is that promotion that
they've been offering. So like I mentioned,
I paid $170 Canadian, which is a lot less than 250 US. So definitely look
for that promotion. Now, as far as how many
videos can you generate, it depends which model you
use to create your video. For example, VO two FAS uses
less credits than VO three. So VO three is
about 100 credits. Vo three FAS is 20 credits, and VO two could be 20 or less. But Gemini explains
here that generally, if you're using
Google AI Pros plan, you can generate about
three to five videos a day within the main
Gemini application. So this is using Vo two or
the fast version of VO three. You get 1,000
monthly EI credits, and this will allow
you to produce about 50 videos per month. So this plan is best if
you're just trying it out, content creators
experimenting with AI, and if you don't mind the
watermark in your videos. So this is how I started off. Google AI Ultra is if you're
creative professional or an agency that want to produce the top quality AI
generated video. So you get 12,500 credits, which is good for high
volume producers. And they're saying based on
a 20 credit cost per video, which is Google VO three FAST, you can do about 625
videos per month. Okay, so keep in
mind that if you use the Google three
Video regular, that'll take up 100 credits. So professional video
editors, marketing, agencies, filmmakers are a good
fit for this plan, and just keep in mind
you get 30 terabytes of Cloud storage and a YouTube
premium subscription. So that's quite a large
amount to store your videos. Okay, so I'm going
to go to Google Flow quickly just to show
you an example here. I'll just generate a
simple video using a simple prompt and
tell you how you can see how many credits you're
taking up with the video. Okay, so let's do a
quick video here. So I have a prompt from here and I'm going to copy
it and also modify it battling h before they fight. Okay, so VO two FAS,
that's the default. So you can see here
each generation would use ten credits. If we change it to VO three, you can see 20 credits. VO two, general quality
is 100 credits, and VO VO three quality
is 100 credits. So the best value
is Vo three Fast. And so that's basically
how you can tell how many credits you're going to use for different models. So these videos here were
created with VOT Fast, and you can tell how many credits you've
used in the top right. You can see here I
have 9,580 left. And if you click
in there, you can see how you've used them. It tells you which
category so you can see I've done mostly
the VOFASt model, and I think that does the job. So these videos are actually
generating now pretty fast. And I would say the strategy is, if you like what Vo
three FAST creates, you can go to the
regular VO three model for the highest quality. And if you want to upscale
the video to ten ADP, there's no additional
credits required for that. So hopefully that helps you
figure out which plan to get. For a student
taking this course, I would just start off
with the pro plan. And if you want to scale
it up or maybe you want to start doing this as an
agency for other clients, then maybe you want to
upgrade to the ultra plan. Okay, let's take a look at some of these
videos I generated, and this would also
be an example of a simple prompt to
create a short video. This is the way. I know Kung fu. This is the. Okay, that's Video
one. This is the way. I know Kung fu. Yeah. This is the way. This is
the way. I know Kung fu. This is the way. I know Kung fu. Okay? This is the
way. I know Kung Fu. This is This is
the funniest one, so we can actually
click Download. We have the option
upscale or just download the original 720 P. Alright.
3. Walkthrough google flow: Hi, my name is Greg, and I'm going to give you a
walk through of Google Flow, which has their groundbreaking
AI model called VO three. Used to generate really
cinematic videos or any type of video you
can imagine, really. And the really cool feature
is not just the video, but the audio and sound effects that can complement the videos. So we're on Google's
lab site right now, labs doll Google flash FX, and this is where you can access their other creative
tools like WISC flow, image FX, music FX. But we're going to take
a look at flow here. And this is not a free tool. But if you get the Gemini Pro
or the Gemini Ultra Plans, you can access flow. So I'm going to give
you a tour of flow, and then we'll get through generating our very first video. So here's the main
page where you can see different projects
that you have and organize by date and
the way I like to do my projects is I just like to group them
by certain categories. For example, I've got more of my Star Wars types of videos, so I can just
rename those there, or we've got more of the comic books superhero
genre videos over here. And I've got a whole
lot of other videos. I've got war series
videos, sports. So once you click in, so I'm
actually just going to click into my Star Wars project area. And once you click
into a project, you'll see the
different variations that you've had with
different prompts. For example, over here, if I click in, I can
see the prompt here. Several Jedi Mandalorians with dark sabers battling
Neo from the matrix. Before they fight the
leader, Mandalorian says, This is the way, and Neo
says, I know Kung fu. So this prompt that's highlighted this has created four different videos over here. And each of these videos, we have the ability
to download them. We can full screen it. We can add them to a scene which will cover in another
video in depth. And if you click the three
dots, you can delete it. You can flag the output. This is the way. And, of
course, you can play the video. I know Kung fu. To actually
see what it looks like. So on the project page, it defaults to a four
square grid view. But there's another
option here which will give you a
bigger overview of all the projects that you
have within a project or all the videos you've
created within a project. So let's
just back out. Let's go back to the main page. On the top right,
we have flow TV. So flow TV is basically an idea where you can watch
different videos that are already created
to generate inspiration. So these are different channels, and I'll go into it
in another video, but you can check out
these other channels, and you can actually reverse
engineer the prompt. You can show the prompt, and then you can
bring these prompts into your own video projects. So that's flow TV, and again, we'll cover
that in another video. So let's just go
back to flow here. And on the top right, another important area is
the plan that you're on. So you can see here I'm on the ultra plan on the top right, and you can see the
number of EI credits. So if you click onto
the EI credits, you can see your
current balance as well as how your
credits have been used. For example, I just created some videos today that
were worth 20 credits, and if I just change the page, I can see I created
some yesterday that were worth ten credits. So just know that
with certain plans, for example, I'm on
the Gemini ultra plan. You get something like
12 to 13,000 credits, and then each video generation uses up a certain
amount of credits. For example, if you use
the VO three fast model, that'll use up 20 credits. If you use the VO
three regular model, that'll use up 100 credits. And I'll show you where you can see the cost of
the video generation. So I just wanted to
point that out to you. And you can manage your
membership over here. And you can see your plan. So I've got the Google AI Ultra and all the benefits that
comes along with it. So in addition to flow with
VO three, I've also got WIS, 12,500 monthly AI
credits, notebook um, with the highest
limits, et cetera, for currently $170
Canadian for three months. So these plans are going
to be constantly changing. So let's go back to flow, and let's look at creating
our very first video. I'll actually show you
how you can reverse engineer a quick prompt
here from flow TV. So I'm going to flip through
the different channels. This one's called Fit Check. And I'm just going to
go into the grid view. So I'm basically looking for one that I find
pretty interesting. Okay, so I'll click in here. I can copy the prompt. And these are based on VO two. So if you put it in Vo three, you may get a different result. So I'm back on flow right now. I'm going to click New Project. And this is our
main prompt area. So by default, it
goes text to video, but you can also go from frames to video
ingredients to video, which we'll cover in
a separate session. The default model is Vo two fast that you can see
on the right side. But if you click settings, you have the ability to change
the outputs per prompt. So I like to do four because there's no additional cost
and you get more choices. See if I click two, it's still ten credits
to generate this. So I'm going to
leave it on four. It's currently at Vo two FAST, and it'll tell you
each generation uses ten credits based on
your current settings. If we change it
to Vo three FAST, that changes to 20 credits. View two quality. That's 100 credits, and Vo three quality is 100
credits as well. So we're just going
to go to Vo three, fast text to video, which costs 20 credits. I'm going to paste I'm going
to paste that prompt in high fashion editorial
address made of living Jellyfish
underwater shot. Okay, I'm just going to click the prompt, generate our video. And because this
is the fast model, it's going to be a bit faster, and you'll see the percentage over here while it's
being generated. So you can actually go
somewhere else and come back. So I'll just continue to scroll through the
different channels here. Time to reflect. And you can see the different
channels and an overview. So you get an idea of
the really vast range of videos that you can
create with flow. Okay, let's go back here. Let's see how we're
doing. We're at 58%. All right, so our
video has generated, and I'm actually just
going to go go to go back to the original original
video that inspired this. I think it was this
lady here with the jellyfish. So
take a look at this. This is generated on VO two. And I'm going to play this So it's pretty cool,
slightly different. So I have an eight second
video that has audio, and I've got four choices here. Okay. Notice that some of the videos are
longer than others. This one's 2 seconds.
This is eight. This is eight, or the
first one's five. All right, so if I want to
go ahead and download this, I can click on the
Download button, and then I have three options. I can download the
original size 720 P. I can upscale it to ten ADP. Or do an animated Gift 270 P. So animated Gift maybe you want to share
that through WhatsApp. It's not going to take
up a lot of space. 720 P is just going to be
the video as you see it. It's not going to be
too big, upscale. If I click this, it's going
to bring it up to ten ADP, higher quality, larger file
size, slightly larger. But one thing I want to
note is that it doesn't cost any additional credits
to upscale your video. And then lastly, you can
add this to a scene, and we'll cover the Scene
Builder in another video. So we covered quite a bit. We've covered Google
Flow's product. We've covered flow TV. We did a quick reverse
prompt engineering, and we generated some videos. We upscaled it to ten ADP. And I've introduced you
to the Scene Builder. So the next set of lessons, we're going to drill
into the Scene Builder. I'll share a variety of projects more advanced
prompts to give you different ideas of how you
can create these videos. So those will be in
the next lessons. And lastly, once you finish upscaling the project
on the top right, it'll give you a download link that you can
download your video, and then you can use
it on social media, YouTube, wherever you want. And if you're on the
Gemini Ultra plan, it'll download the video
without a watermark. If you're on the P plan, you're going to get that via
watermark on the top right. So this is the video that I've downloaded in ten ADP. So
we'll end the video here.
4. Intro to Flow Tv & Reverse Engineering the Prompt: Okay, this is the flow
TV product from Google. So basically, this
is like television, except you're watching
videos created with flow. And the reason why
you would want to come here is to
get some inspiration. You could also reverse
engineer videos that you like. So for example, let's just
go to the main screen. So over here, it's like
your remote control, so you can see all the channels. So if we see category we like, we can click into Okay, this is like no one's watching. So from this view, we could
go onto the Next clip. We can full screen the videos. We can unmute you can see we got a variety
of different videos. So let's just say
we like that one. We can click this radio
button to show the prompt. I'm just going to mute
it right now just for ease of recording. So you can hear me properly. We have a grid view
here if this is easier just to look at a glance at
different types of videos. So I'm just taking
a look at some of these. They look cool. That's skeleton, so you can
change channels over here. So this is called
Time to reflect. And you can also just search
for a category, right? So let's just say we
like drone videos. So we can get a
nice filter here. Let's click on this hockey one. This looks pretty cool. So this is a drone
tracking video of people playing
hockey somewhere. So we can actually just go
back, click Show Prompt. And the magic sauce is this
prompt, so I can copy that. And let me just pause this. So that's how we
can use flow TV. So now I'm going to
show you how we can use that inspiration to
create something similar. So we're going to flow now. And while flow is loading, I'll just show you
another browser tab where I use the prompt to create a video and I'll just show you the
prompt right over here. So it's a really long
one, as you can see, I'm not going to
read it out for you, but I'll just leave
it on the screen. And what I may do is I'll just include
this in the prompt pack. Let's just play this. So that gives you
an idea of how we can use or reverse engineer from flow TV to creating
our own creation. Okay, here we are.
So this is my flow, and I've got my
different products. So when I create Krojax I like to try to
keep them together. Let's just say
I've got ones with drones or ones with pickleball or ones
that are golf related. I want to try to
keep them together. So this one I'm going to This is like my
reverse engineer area. So now we are in flow. Now I got to select
my model here. So V two FAST. See, this will use ten credits. If I go to Vo three, quality, this will use up the most
credits, 100 credits. So I'm going to
go Vo three Fast, which uses 20 credits,
five times less. So that's a good
way to start out. Maybe you want to experiment
with the lower models first. And then if you really
like something, you can change to
Vo three quality, which is the highest model. Now, things are
continually changing. You can see here that
if you use Vo three, the audio may not work. So I'm basically going
to just copy and paste that prompt from
flow TV into here. And because we're
using Vo three fast, it's going to be faster
than Vo three quality. So we get four different squares or variations that we
get to choose from. And if you click
the settings here, this is where you can
change not only the model, but outputs per prompt. We also have a
different view here. So this allows us to see multiple projects
on the same page, and we can see here on the top right which model or
which Gemini plan we have. I'm on the ultra plan right now, and I can see the
number of credits. Now, if you want to see how
your credits are doing, how they've been
spent, you can see here my credits have been spent. So this is just from today. And I actually had some
generations that didn't work because I use
popular characters. I use the US presidents and that got refunded because
they couldn't generate it. So if I go back from yesterday, you can see a lot use a lot of VO three FAST credits
because those are about 20. Okay, let's go back. We are at 90%. So we have one generation
here. Let's check it out. Okay. Interesting. So not exactly like
the flow TV one. Let's just go back here. And you can see this was
done with the VO two model. So maybe we got to
change the model to get something the same. Okay. So these are a bit
of a wider angle. They're not as close up
as the flow TV video, even though it's
the same prompt. So let's just say I like
this third one here. I have the option
to download it. I can upscale it to ten ADP, create a 720 P, which is what it is now. This is not DVD. It's higher quality than DVD, but it's not quite full HD, and the file size
will be smaller. So let me just upscale it. And then when it's
ready, it'll tell you on the top right and
you can download it. It doesn't use any
extra credits. So you might as well upscale it if there's a clip
that you really like. Okay, so let's just try the
prompt again except I'll do the same model as flow TV. So that's VO two. So VO two fast is ten credits, VO two, quality is 100 credits. So let's just do VO two fast. Let's just do two.
Actually, let's do four since it's
the same cost. And we'll just take a look at the difference
for the same prompt, but comparing Vo three
fast versus VO two fast. And you can see my upscaling
requests in the top right. That's still
happening. Okay. So we have our generation.
Let's take a look. So this angle, even though
it's the same prompt, it's pretty similar pretty similar to what we
saw on Flow TV. Alright, let's try to build a scene with this
VO two generation. So we're going to go in the top left of
the video we like, select Add to scene. And what are we going to
do is say frame as assets. So we can build a thumbnail. And then if we click
Plus, beside it, we can select jump to or extend. So what I want is
this to jump to a wider aerial angle
orbiting the game. And we'll use the
VO two FAST model. Alright, finish generating,
so let's play it. So we have a regular scene. Yeah, that didn't work too well. Let's try it with VO three. Might be better in Vo three. Let's go add to scene. Okay, so you can see it's added this different scene over to the Video three and the Vo two
clips to the same project. So I can arrange,
so I can delete the second one and then
move that in there. Now let's play it. Okay. And then we can actually
can highlight this one. And close up of the goalie saving a puck. Okay. Okay, it's done.
Let's play this back. Okay, so I asked it for a
close up of the goalie, and it's sort of, it's done it, but it's a completely
different scene. All right, so that's
the Scene Builder. Definitely is easier to
edit in Premiere Pro. But the Scene Builder, you
can do it right within flow. It's a little bit finicky, in my opinion. There we go. So we demonstrated creating
a video with flow, reverse engineering
flow TV into flow. And I also demonstrated
the Scene Builder. It doesn't work that
well from my experience, but that may change. And we also upscale the
video. We downloaded it. We compared doing VO
three FAST versus VO two. I demonstrated how many
credits are used between different models where you
can check your AI credits. So we cover quite a bit. A
5. How to do Frames to Video Veo 3 Google flow: All right, let's
check this out here. This is the new frames to
video with Video three FAST. This is the July 2025 update. All right. Let's do
a new project here. So we're going to
go to frames to Video on this drop down. We're going to select
Vio three Fast. So make sure Vio three
Fast is selected. You'll be charged 20 credits. And I'm going to use
one of my own images. Okay. Okay, so I'm just going to crop which
part of the scene I want. Whoops. All right. Okay, so wait until your frame your crop frame
is finished uploading. And what you would do is put
the dialogue, set the scene. Guess which one of
us needed to stop here to do some business
at the Marriott. All right. How do you guys wave say say welcome to Bangkok. Have all the guys say Sawa Di cup, which
is hello in Thai. All right. So there we go. Okay, so we've got four outfits, and let's hear the audio. Sawa Dika, welcome to Bangkok. Guess which one of us
needed to stop here to do some business
at the Mariot Hotel. Sawa Dikav, welcome to Bangkok. Guess which one of
us needed to It looks pretty realistic,
to be honest. Sawadikov, welcome to Bangkok. Guess which one of us
needed to stop here to do some business
at the Mariot Hotel. So if I wanted to, I could specify the accent to
make it more believable. Banko, welcome to Bangkok. Sad Bank Bangkok. Guess which one of us
needed to stop here to do some business
at the Mariot Hotel. So Wadikov, welcome to Bangkok. Saba That's pretty good. I can definitely see this
frames to video feature with VO three fast being used a whole lot more by a
lot of different people. So stay tuned to Google Flow as they continue to
update their product. As you can see, these
new features can really open up things a
lot for creators.
6. Advanced Google Flow Project: Get acquired weapons armed. Confirming release sequence. Standby. Bombs away. This is a bit more of an advanced tutorial
on how I created the B two stealth bomber video. So the video was actually
created in Premiere Pro. I created several scenes. That I'm going to
share with you. But first, I'm gonna
play the video, and then I'm going
to show you how it was made from
beginning to end. Spector I, this is Oracle. Target locked. Munitions armed. Ready for release
on your command. Target acquired weapons armed. Confirming release sequence. Standby. Bombs away. Okay, so I actually used Gemini, Google Gemini to
create the prompt. So I started with in
Gemini 2.5 flash, create a prompt to re enact
the scene of the US Army dropping the bombs over
Iran's nuclear facility. So it came up with this quite
detailed prompt actually with a resembles a movie script with
different characters. And so it's got Major Thorn, which is the pilot,
Captain Lina, Sergeant first class, David, and actually has a
very detailed script. So I use the script in
flow to create the scene, which I'll show you
in this project. So it's this project here. You can just see how
long it is, right? I'll just cover it
off a little bit. It's a Mullis night over
the Iranian desert. You board a B two
Spirit stealth bomber, call sign Spector one, part of a small elite
strike package. You targets, the heavily fortified Natans
Enrichment facility. So it actually has the
dialogue of Pilot one. So I just want to
show you the amount of detail and a prompt you need to build
something like this. Spector one, this is
Oracle. Target locked. Munitions armed. Ready for
release on your command. Okay, I'll just
play another video. Target acquired weapons armed. Confirming release sequence. Standby. Bombs away. Target Acquired weapons armed. Confirming release
sequence. Standby. Okay, so what I did is I
upscaled these videos. I downloaded them, and then I put them into
Adobe Premiere, which you can use other video
editors like final Cap Pro. But basically, you just want
to create a video project, and you may need to trim it and just edit it so it runs
as a smooth video. Okay, so here we go. We
are in Premiere Pro. And let me just play this video. It's quite a short one. Spector one, this is Oracle. Target locked. Munitions armed. Ready for release
on your command. Target acquired weapons armed. Confirming release sequence. Standby. Bombs away. So I probably could
have tightened up the edit a little bit more. But the idea was to put all the generated
clips into the timeline, and basically that the
result is a 22nd video. And if we export it, it's not going to be too large because this is only full HD, so we end up with a file
that's 42 megabytes. So I just wanted to show
you what is behind creating a short cinematic
video using Video. So to summarize, we
use Gemini to help us with the prompt to basically
create a mini script. That script was used as the
first prompt in Vo flow, and we used the Vio three model to create the video clips. I upscaled the clips in
flow, downloaded them, and then I imported those
clips into Adobe Premiere Pro, where I put it into the timeline
to create a 22nd video.
7. Summary: Sure. For taking the
Google VO three course. I hope you learned a
lot and are taking away the knowledge and
skills of how to generate videos with this
cutting edge AI model. We can continue to see Google to evolve the model to become
more sophisticated, and I predict that the
videos will get longer. The resolution will
get higher from full HD to four K and one
day even higher resolution. But right now is the time to
start getting your feet wet, refining your skills with
prompt engineering and to develop use cases for these different
capabilities that you now have, whether it's marketing, pro momentarial, prototypes
for products, maybe it's comedic
videos or entertainment, or maybe you just want to get your creative
juices flowing. This skill is going to be only continuing
to become the norm, and Google Vo three's model
is at the cutting edge. The next step is to just get started and
refine your skills, create a lot of
different videos. And if you're into
generative AI, you can explore Google's labs. They have other products like whisk for
generating images. They have music effects
for generating music. And once you've refined your
prompt engineering skills, these skills are
translatable to generating other forms of media from
video, music and images. We'll see you later
in the next course.
