Veo 3 supports vertical format, forever changing our TikTok feeds.

Overview

  • Native 9:16 generation is now available in Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast via the Gemini API by setting aspectRatio=9:16, with Veo 3 Fast trading quality for speed.
  • Full HD output is supported for 16:9 videos, with reports indicating vertical videos remain capped at 720p for now.
  • Per‑second pricing was cut to $0.40 for Veo 3 and $0.15 for Veo 3 Fast, down from $0.75 and $0.40, respectively.
  • Google says Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast are stable and ready for scaled production use within the Gemini API.
  • Consumer rollout details remain unclear, though Google previously said Veo 3 would come to YouTube Shorts later this summer and observers warn of authenticity concerns as AI video gets cheaper and more mobile-friendly.
