How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck? And the answer to that question and to the meaning of life is 42. Yesterday, to no surprise, Google dropped VO3 within its new ecosystem called Flow.
Once you log on to it,
you’ll see a pretty simple prompt box here. And we’re just going to start right off the bat with a prompt. A 1980s robot sitting on top of a suburban home stargazing. He wears a letterman’s jacket. He sits next to a beautiful woman who also looks up towards the sky. But what’s unique is the sound effects that are now attached right to it.
Meet Flow: AI-powered filmmaking with Veo 3
I didn’t ask for it. I didn’t prompt for it. It just came along with it. So, if we keep going back through here, uh you have your frames to video. We’re going to click that. And as you see, you have your first frame, your last frame, and as you as you click through it, you can pick a frame.
I already had some that were generated from a different project using the old video effects. You can’t upload anything quite yet. So, for this test, I’m just going to use one of my old uh images here. Just going to go ahead and click on this. And as you’ll see, we’re going to put a prompt in. We slowly arc around the egg as the creature reaches out its tentacles to grab the egg.

As soon as he touches the egg, it glows. The creature jumps back in fear. I’m going to add a second one or camera movement. Here we have dolly in, dolly out, jib down, jib up, orbit left, orbit right, pan left, pan right, static, tilt down, tilt up, truck left, or truck right. I think a lot of tools have this feature in there, but this is really nice to have.
Uh, and as soon as I hit generate, you’ll see up here it says it’s switching me to a compatible model for this feature. And I want to click through here and see what that actually means. Once I click, um, you can click over here and see. Oh, it moved me from VO3 to V2. So, I’m assuming you can’t use camera moves within VO3, uh, at least right now.

So, let’s just go take a look and see what that looks like. So, comes out. Looks a lot like V2. The fidelity is still there. I would probably reroll this if this is for a project. Uh, but you know, good enough for now. So, moving on, we’re going to go ahead and check out the ingredients to video, which I think is a lot like what Whisk is, where you just add elements in and a prompt, and it mixes them together.
Uh, but for this one, you don’t have to specify whether it’s a character, scene, or or style. We’re just going to add a few shots here. So, I’m going to add one of these aliens. Let’s go and do our passed out Easter bunny and a different scene. Let’s do Easter eggs here. We fly through the scene in a backyard of a suburban backyard.
Veo 3 can generate videos — and soundtracks to go along
Starting at a group of small aliens, we fly over a man in an Easter bunny suit passed out on a lawn chair and at the end of the shot on a hand putting an egg in the basket. Going to go ahead and push check and make sure that it is on V3. and hit go. And again, it’s not letting me use V3, so I’m going to have to use V2. The output is pretty good.
Okay, it didn’t. It skipped right over the Easter Bunny, but if this was a shot that I really wanted to make, um I probably would experiment it with just a little bit more. So, good enough for now. Good enough to test with, but but it’s really not BO3. Okay, let’s try another one. We’re going to do a 1980s robot sitting on top of a suburban home star gazing.

He wears a Leatherman jacket. He sits next to a beautiful woman who also looks up towards the stars. The camera tilts up and then zooms through space, landing at an alien planet where the two aliens are sitting on the roof, similar to the robot and the woman. And there we have it. It’s exactly like we prompted and a really freaking cool shot if you ask me.
Okay, let’s try a slightly different one. It’s 1984 and wearing a high school locker hallway. The girl is wearing a red Letterman jacket talks to her robot boyfriend. She whispers to him, “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? And just putting the text into the prompt.

It works almost perfectly. I’m just amazed by this outcome. So, if you click over to scene builder, um you can scrub through each individual clip. Click to save the frame as an asset. And as you see here, it’s right here. I assume that if I clicked on it, we would be using it for V2.
But when we come back out here, um it looks just like the regular prompt box for now. And uh yeah, so unfortunately I ran out of credits uh because this is a paid platform and it is $12,500 credits. Uh right now it costs uh $124 or I guess$125 a month uh for for the first 3 months and then it rolls over to 250 a month uh for the for the plan.
So, right now it’s a littl
