What Is Veo 3?

Veo 3 is Google’s latest text-to-video model capable of generating realistic video clips from text prompts. Unlike early versions, Veo 3 focuses on usability and integration.

Instead of being a toy for creators, it’s now embedded in enterprise workflows.

Why the Buzz Now?

  • Internal Comms: Make boring slide decks engaging with dynamic clips.

Case Study: Training at Scale

A manufacturing company used Veo 3 to replace traditional training videos. Instead of paying $50k+ for custom video shoots, they generated onboarding modules internally.

  • Cost savings: 70% reduction in production costs.
  • Time savings: weeks to days.
  • Engagement: employees retained more information with visuals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Seamless Workspace integration
  • Lower costs and faster production
  • Democratizes video creation

Cons

  • Still early—videos can feel “AI-generated”
  • Limited to short-form clips
  • Brand consistency can be tricky without guardrails

Action Plan

  1. Experiment with Veo 3 in internal comms before customer-facing content.
  2. Build brand-style prompt libraries to maintain visual identity.
  3. Monitor copyright and licensing policies—video AI is still a legal gray area.

The Path Forward

Text-to-video will move from novelty to necessity. In the same way Canva democratized design, Veo 3 is democratizing video. Early adopters will build video pipelines into everyday workflows.
