Veo 4 Features: What Google Shipped, What to Expect, What Works Today
Google has not announced Veo 4 yet. See the Veo 4 features that already exist in Veo 3.1, the Veo 4 features creators expect, and try the Veo 4 option in the generator below.
What Are the Veo 4 Features?
There is no official list of Veo 4 features yet. As of October 2026, Google has not announced a model called Veo 4, and no Veo 4 appears on the Google DeepMind Veo page, in Gemini, in Flow, or in the Gemini API. The newest official Veo models are Veo 3.1, released in October 2025, and Veo 3.1 Lite, announced on March 31, 2026. So when you read about Veo 4 features, the text describes one of three things: features Google already shipped in Veo 3 and Veo 3.1, features creators expect from Veo 4, or the features of a product option that a website calls Veo 4. This page keeps the three groups apart.
Group one: the shipped features a Veo 4 would build on. Veo 3 launched in May 2025 and added native audio: dialogue, sound effects, and ambient sound. Veo 3.1 added richer audio and stronger prompt adherence, plus three tools in Flow and the Gemini API: Ingredients to Video (up to three reference images), Frames to Video (a first and a last frame), and Extend (continue a clip from its final frame). A later Veo 3.1 update added native 9:16 vertical output for Ingredients to Video and sharper 1080p and 4K output in some Google products.
Group two: the expected Veo 4 features. Google has published nothing about Veo 4, so this is expectation, not fact. Veo clips are about 8 seconds, so longer clips are the most requested Veo 4 feature. Creators also expect Veo 4 features such as better character consistency across shots, 4K in more places, cleaner lip sync, camera-path control, and editing of an existing clip. At Google I/O in May 2026, Google introduced Gemini Omni, a separate video model family that edits clips through conversation. Gemini Omni is not Veo, so its features are not Veo 4 features.
What about Veo 4.1, Veo 4.0, Google Veo 4.0, and Veo 4 Ultra? None of these is an official Google model name. Google uses names like Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, and Veo 3.1 Lite. A Veo 4.1 cannot exist before Google releases Veo 4, so any Veo 4.1 page shows guesses or a renamed older model. The word Ultra usually comes from Google AI Ultra, a Google subscription plan (about $249.99 per month in the US) with the highest Veo access in Gemini and Flow. Google AI Ultra is a plan, not a model, so a Veo 4 Ultra with its own Veo 4 features does not exist.
Some people who search for Veo 4 features look for a camera. Veo Cam is a sports camera made by Veo Technologies, a company in Copenhagen that has no link to Google. The Veo Camera app lists Veo Camera 1, 2, and 3, and we cannot confirm a Veo Cam 4. This page covers Veo 4 features of the Google Veo AI model.
Group three: the Veo 4 option on veo4.dev. Veo4.dev is independent of Google. The Veo 4 option in the generator above is our name for the newest Veo tier our provider gives us, which today is Veo 3.1 Fast. You can test its features now: a text prompt of up to 5,000 characters, an optional reference image that sets the first frame, clips of 4, 6, or 8 seconds, 720p or 1080p, 16:9 or 9:16, and Veo audio. It costs 1000, 2000, or 3000 credits, and a failed job is refunded. The Veo 3.1 option uses the same tier and adds a last-frame image.
This page is about Veo 4 features, not dates. For predictions and launch channels, read our Veo 4 release date page. When Google publishes real Veo 4 features and our provider makes the model available, we add it to the generator and update this Veo 4 features page.
Veo 4 Features at a Glance: Shipped, Expected, Available
Each card says if a Veo 4 feature is shipped, expected, or available today.
Native audio (shipped in Veo 3)
Dialogue, sound effects, and ambient sound are generated with the picture. The Veo 4 option on veo4.dev includes Veo audio today.
Reference images (shipped in Veo 3.1)
Ingredients to Video in Flow and the Gemini API uses up to three reference images to keep a person, object, or style consistent. More reference inputs are a likely Veo 4 feature.
First and last frame (shipped in Veo 3.1)
Frames to Video animates the motion between two images you choose. On veo4.dev, the Veo 3.1 option accepts both frames, and the Veo 4 option accepts a first frame.
Scene extension (shipped in Veo 3.1)
Extend continues a clip from its last frame, so you can build a longer shot from several parts. Longer native clips are the most requested Veo 4 feature.
Expected Veo 4 features (not confirmed)
Longer clips, stronger character consistency, 4K in more places, cleaner lip sync, camera-path control, and editing of an existing clip. Google has confirmed none of these Veo 4 features.
The Veo 4 option today
Runs on Veo 3.1 Fast: 4, 6, or 8 second clips, 720p or 1080p, 16:9 or 9:16, with audio, for 1000 to 3000 credits. A failed job is refunded.

Veo 4 features test: dialogue and lip sync
Medium close-up of a young chef in a busy kitchen. She looks at the camera and says: "Fresh pasta, every morning, no shortcuts." Pans clatter behind her, warm tungsten light, shallow depth of field.
Veo 4 features test: ambient sound
Wide shot of a wooden pier on a lake at dawn, light fog over the water, a heron lifts off and flies across the frame. Soft water lapping, distant loon call, wings beating, slow pan right, cool blue tones.
Veo 4 features test: reference image as first frame
Starting from the uploaded product photo, the camera slowly pushes in as the sneaker rotates on a white plinth, studio light sweeps across the surface, a soft whoosh sound. Clean commercial look.
Veo 4 features test: camera movement
Low tracking shot behind a cyclist racing through a forest trail at golden hour, the camera rises over a fallen log and follows her into a clearing. Tires on gravel, wind, birds, energetic handheld feel.
Veo 4 features test: vertical 9:16
Vertical 9:16 shot of a street dancer on a rooftop at sunset, city skyline behind him, he spins and freezes in a pose toward the camera. Beat from a small speaker, crowd claps off screen, vivid colors.
Veo 4 features test: physics and detail
Macro shot of honey pouring slowly onto a stack of pancakes, it folds and spreads over the edges, a mint leaf on top trembles. Quiet kitchen ambience, a gentle drip sound, warm morning light, 1080p detail.

Veo 4 Features FAQ
Real questions about Veo 4 features, answered from official Google information as of October 2026.
What are the Veo 4 features?
Google has not announced Veo 4, so there are no official Veo 4 features. The features a Veo 4 would build on already exist in Veo 3.1: native audio, up to three reference images, first and last frame control, scene extension, and 1080p or 4K output in some Google products.
Is Veo 4.1 a real model?
No. Google has not released Veo 4, so a Veo 4.1 cannot exist yet. The newest official models are Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 Lite. Pages that list Veo 4.1 features show guesses or a renamed older model.
What is Veo 4 Ultra?
Veo 4 Ultra is not a Google model. The name likely mixes Veo 4 with Google AI Ultra, a Google subscription plan of about $249.99 per month in the US that gives the highest Veo access in the Gemini app and Flow.
Is Google Veo 4.0 out?
No. As of October 2026, Google has no model called Veo 4 or Veo 4.0. Google uses names such as Veo 3.1, Veo 3.1 Fast, and Veo 3.1 Lite. Any Veo 4.0 feature list is a prediction.
What is Veo Cam 4?
Veo Cam is a sports camera from Veo Technologies in Copenhagen, which has no link to Google. Its app lists Veo Camera 1, 2, and 3, and we cannot confirm a Veo Cam 4. This page is about the Google Veo AI model.
How will Veo 4 features compare with Veo 3.1?
Nobody outside Google knows. Creators expect Veo 4 features such as longer clips, better consistency, and editing, but Google has confirmed none of them. Veo 3.1 is the newest real baseline.

It runs on Veo 3.1 Fast and makes 4, 6, or 8 second clips at 720p or 1080p, in 16:9 or 9:16, with audio and an optional first-frame image, for 1000 to 3000 credits. New users get one free 5-second Seedance 1.5 Lite video after signing in.
When will the real Veo 4 features arrive?
