Google Veo 4 on 7ART

What is Veo 4?

Expected capabilities

DURATION

Longer clips

15-30 second range in a single shot (rumored). Veo 3.1 caps at 8s; Veo 4 is expected to push past the under-10-second ceiling that defines current diffusion video — the difference between a clip and a scene.

RESOLUTION

Native 4K output

True 4K generation, not upscaled. Output resolution is set at the model level rather than reconstructed post-hoc, so detail and motion both live at 4K natively. Future-proofs your library for the next two display generations.

IDENTITY

Locked character identity

Reference-embedding for the same face, outfit, and pose across multiple shots. Today's models drift between cuts; Veo 4 is expected to hold character consistency the way image models hold style — the same person across scenes, not seven cousins.

NARRATIVE

Storyboard-to-sequence

Generate multi-shot sequences from structured input — per-shot prompts plus transitions. Closes the gap between single-clip generation and short-form narrative; you describe a scene, the model returns a sequence that flows.

DIRECTION

Cinematography controls

Explicit camera commands — dolly, pan, focus pull, rack — instead of relying on prose hints. Same intent as Kling's motion brush, exposed at the prompt level so you can direct the shot the way a DP would, not by hoping the model interprets adjectives.

AUDIO

Multi-stem audio

Dialogue, ambient, and music as separately addressable tracks. Today's in-model audio is a single mixed render; multi-stem unblocks post-production editing inside the same generation — turn down the music without losing the dialogue.

How Veo 4 compares

Frequently asked questions

• When will Veo 4 actually be released?

  Google is expected to reveal Veo 4 at Google I/O 2026 (May 19-20). That's the most credible signal we have — Google has used I/O for every major Veo announcement so far. Public access typically follows the reveal in waves: enterprise / Cloud Vertex first, then Gemini Advanced, then third-party platforms. We'll update this page within hours of the official announcement.

• Will Veo 4 be available on 7ART on day 1?

  Yes — that's our commitment. We integrate new top-tier video models the moment their API is reachable. For Veo 3.1 we shipped same-day; we're set up to do the same for Veo 4 the moment Google opens it.

• How will Veo 4 differ from Veo 3.1?

  Based on credible expectations, the biggest jumps are clip length (15-30s vs Veo 3.1's 8s cap), native 4K output, locked character identity across shots, and multi-stem audio output. Veo 3.1 is already an excellent model; Veo 4 is positioned as the leap that closes the gap between "AI video clip" and "AI short film".

• Will Veo 4 cost more than Veo 3.1 on 7ART?

  Pricing on 7ART follows the model's API cost. Veo 4 will likely have a higher per-generation cost than Veo 3.1 given the longer clips + higher resolution, but you can mix it with cheaper models inside the same subscription — no separate add-on. We'll update exact pricing on this page within 24h of Google publishing rates.

• Can I use Veo 4 with my saved AI artist?

  Yes — your saved AI artists are model-agnostic. The reference data 7ART holds for your artist (face, style, voice if applicable) gets passed to whichever video model you select. If Veo 4 ships with native reference embedding (which is what the leaks suggest), you'll see noticeably better identity consistency than current models.

• What other top models can I use on 7ART today?

  For video: Veo 3.1, Kling 3, Seedance 2, and a handful of specialized motion / lipsync models. For image: Nano Banana 2, GPT Image 2, Seedream. For music: Suno V5. All inside one platform, one subscription, one workflow. See /ai-video-generator for the full current list.

• Will my Veo 3.1 prompts work with Veo 4?

  Mostly yes. Google has kept the natural-language prompt grammar stable across Veo versions. The Veo 4 additions (explicit camera commands, storyboard format) are opt-in — if you write a plain prose prompt the way you do today, it'll still generate. The new controls are extra capabilities, not a breaking change.

• Where can I read more about Veo 4 features?
