The Veo Prompting Playbook

Generic prompts get generic Veo output. JSON-structured prompts (with multi-scene timestamps, character schemas, and explicit camera and lighting fields) get cinema-grade output. The schema, the multi-scene patterns, the character-consistency rules, and the worked ad example.

• Why JSON prompting beats free-form text for Veo, with the full schema for every field
• Multi-scene timestamp syntax that fits up to 3 cuts inside a single 8-second generation
• Character consistency across cuts: the schema fields, the reference-image workflow, the seed strategy
