Why AI Video is Important  

Video has been consistently proven to be the most engaging content online and is championed by many brands to spread brand awareness and generate leads. Currently, 91% of businesses are using video in their marketing strategies, with 89% experiencing a positive return on investment. Marking video has the highest return rate ever recorded! 

However, high-quality video has always been a double-edged sword. Excellent performance, but a highly resource-intensive process. Video production is often expensive, time-consuming and subject to constraints such as logistics and staffing.
 
Google has identified this industry issue and filled a gap in the market with the VEO 3, eliminating hurdles while offering speed, affordability, and excellent quality.

 

Why You Should Start Using VEO 3

Ultra-Fast Turnaround

Traditional video production often requires an entire team weeks or months of planning, writing, filming and editing. The extensive use of time and resources has consistently posed a significant barrier for companies aiming to invest in video marketing as part of their content strategy, particularly for small businesses.

As seen in HubSpot's 2023 State of Marketing Report. This report outlined how 91% of marketers say video content is more important to their brand than ever before. However, 39% cite 'lack of time' as their biggest barrier. With VEO 3 what would normally take weeks of effort to produce can now be condensed to a day or two of prompting

 

Cost Minimisation

As you can imagine, a resource and time-heavy process has the consequence of being expensive. In 2024, 91% of marketers spent under $50,000 on video production, while just over 50% spent under $10,000.

Additionally, one filmmaker on YouTube recently created a professional pharmaceutical advert using VEO 3 for a fictional drug. He then confesses that typical production for a TV advert would cost roughly £500,000. With VEO 3, his AI advert took one day to produce using just £500 worth of credits. It is clear that the possible cost savings using VEO 3 are truly staggering.

 

Unmatched Realism

Unlike other AI video tools, VEO 3 actually generates synchronised audio for dialogue, special effects and ambient sounds. Therefore, requiring no additional editing or recording, saving precious time and maximising realism.

Audio elements are natively generated in VEO 3, however audio can be controlled and shaped simply by specifying your requirements in your prompt. For example a prompt like “generate a bustling city street, with lots of traffic” will produce a video with all ambient sounds, cars horns, crowd chatter etc.
 

Integration with Other AI Tools

Enhance your prompts using AI. With several well-developed text-based AI language models such as Chat GPT, Gemini, Grok, and others, you can refine your prompt to be as descriptive as possible.

The key to VEO 3 is to be as detailed and descriptive as you can. Check out some of our tests that were generated in less than 30 minutes!
