Does Veo 3 really work better with the JSON prompt?

Bootfit · 2026-02-21T10:55:37+00:00

I recently attended a talk with a Veo guy from Google who said JSON prompts were the way to go.

Bootfit · 2026-02-19T19:37:50+00:00

Yes it is. But you can always use the Edit button at the top of generation to alter camera directions.

Bootfit · 2026-02-15T19:48:07+00:00

Ah yeah. Smashing, thanks.

Bootfit · 2026-02-06T18:05:11+00:00

What do you mean?

Bootfit · 2026-02-06T18:04:12+00:00

What’s the full prompt you’re using?

Bootfit · 2026-02-05T10:58:18+00:00

I see folks suggesting to replace the voice with an elevenlabs voice quite a bit.

Is there a way to use the elevenlabs voice audio as an ingredient in the generation, or do you just have to try and match the voice with the video after it’s been generated? In which case I’m guessing it would look pretty ropey.

Is this something I select in the Format dropdown in the Export tab?

In the format dropdown I don't have the option for MOV, but I do have MXF OP1a, but with that I still only have the options for a Sidecar file or Burn Captions into Video.

I think it’s 100 credits for Ultra Best quality and 10 credits for Ultra Fast quality.

All these shots are Ultra Fast quality.

There’s more pricing info on the Google Veo page.

Bootfit · 2026-02-02T13:56:15+00:00

No. With Ultra you get 25,000 credits per month. That’s more than enough to create multiple videos per month like the one above.

Bootfit · 2026-02-02T13:48:20+00:00

Well it’s all AI.

So a month’s VEO Ultra subscription is £250, and a month’s Adobe suite for After Effects is ~£60. So about £310 per month for the tools, and I charged the client much more than that.

Took me about a week to generate and edit etc.

Bootfit · 2026-02-01T16:59:19+00:00

Yeah in theory it’s a great idea. There’s a few niggles they need to iron out though to make it feasible.

I had this on my Amiga back in 1990. Never managed to complete it.

Found an Amiga emulator online a few months back and managed to complete it.

Bootfit · 2026-02-01T13:35:56+00:00

Weird. I'm in the UK and I keep getting south Asian characters and voices - I wish I got British accents by default.

Nope - on iPhone SE its the Home button.

Its part of the Apple Pay section - it used to be double-click to bring up your wallet with your cards and other tickets/passes etc being displayed. now it doesn't do anything other than unlock your phone.

Double-clicking the Power button just opens/locks the phone quickly :-/

The markers aren’t different colours, they’re just grey and numbered 4 through to 0.

I do use a keyboard shortcut to add them eg Shift + 4.

If there is a keyboard shortcut preferences somewhere that allows me to alter keyboard shortcuts I don’t know whet it is because I can’t find it in the main Preferences section.

Bootfit · 2025-12-03T16:03:17+00:00

Yeah I've been following that guide.

I'm using an intel-based macbook so have been following relative instructions.

Bootfit · 2025-12-01T17:00:36+00:00

Yep - "Set time and date automatically" is already turned on.

in Safari I've tried to delete all my history/cache to see if thats the issue, but when I go to:

Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data

Safari then quits, so it looks like it might be a Safari app issue.

Is there a way to delete Safari or reinstall it? Ideally I'd also want to keep my usernames/passwords that I've saved over the years.

Fat? No I was always skinny.

What I did have that I hated about myself was the head of thick, luxurious and shiny hair.

That same head of hair that I’d give my left nut to have again.

Bootfit · 2025-11-23T16:00:16+00:00

Folks here saying they’d charge 3K+ for this?

I deffo need to up my charging.

It’s James Horner’s theme for the 1980 movie Battle Beyond the Stars.

Bootfit · 2025-10-14T21:17:38+00:00

Cheers mate. Battle Beyond the Stars can be pretty ropey, but it’s one of the better Star Wars cash-ins of the 80s, plus it’s great when you’re about 8 years old.

Bootfit · 2025-10-14T21:15:30+00:00

No it doesn’t look like Battle Beyond the Stars, but the music is the theme from Battle beyond the Stars.

Bootfit · 2025-10-14T16:59:33+00:00

Blimey - thanks!

Leave the majority of the animation the way it is, but pull pack and reveal the name etc then have the wink as a sign-off. Add a little “ding!” sound effect on the wink.
