The video showcases Google Veo 3’s new “Draw to Direct” feature, allowing users to guide AI video animation by drawing arrows and notes directly on the first frame, resulting in intuitive and precise scene animations. The creator demonstrates this method with various examples, integrates audio using SUNO and 11 Labs, and promotes their AI video course for mastering advanced AI video creation techniques.
In this video, the creator explores a new feature in Google Veo 3 (V3) called the “Draw to Direct” trick, which allows users to give instructions by drawing directly on the first frame of a video. Instead of relying solely on text prompts, users can sketch arrows and add notes to guide the AI in animating scenes. This approach mimics how one might direct a human artist, making the creative process more intuitive and less reliant on perfecting textual prompts.
The creator demonstrates this by drawing arrows and writing instructions on an image, such as a female character turning around, a jeep driving by, and people walking. After uploading this annotated image to the V3 system and using a simple prompt like “execute,” the AI generates a video that follows these visual directions. The resulting animation shows the jeep driving in, the character turning, and people walking, effectively bringing the drawn instructions to life.
Further experimentation includes more complex scenarios, such as a meteor striking the ground, causing panic among people, and a character turning and running away. The creator also tests adding specific instructions like “animate arms” and “don’t change the text” on certain parts of an image, which the AI respects while animating other elements. These tests showcase the flexibility and power of the draw-to-direct method in controlling video content.
For audio, the creator uses SUNO for music and 11 Labs for sound effects, integrating these elements to enhance the overall video experience. The creator shares examples of videos made with this technique, including a horror-themed clip, highlighting the creative possibilities and quality achievable with this new feature in V3.
Finally, the creator promotes their AI video course at AIvideocourse.com, which offers deeper insights into mastering AI video creation, especially for generating viral content and passive income. They mention ongoing updates to the course, including new modules focused on the latest V3 features, encouraging viewers to explore and leverage AI video tools for professional and promotional purposes.
