How to create Image to Video Content with Veo 3

Leonardo always offers the latest state-of-the-art image models for crafting your start frame, so there’s no compromise on how your story comes to life. Choose from models including:

• Lucid Origin: Leonardo’s own model, which has gained traction among the creator community for its exceptional photorealistic, cinematic outputs
• Nano Banana 2 and Seedream 5.0 Pro: the latest frontier image models, ideal for fast conversational edits and rich, detailed compositions
• Flux models: for industry-leading prompt adherence, text in image and consistency in your characters, object, typeface and other image elements
• GPT-Image-2: OpenAI’s latest omni model, delivering exceptional prompt adherence and the ability to pull from your image references.
• Phoenix: our own model, which is loved by the Leo community for its exceptional prompt adherence and ability to follow your reference images (character, object).
• Fine-tuned Presets: including Anime, Stock Photography, Concept Art, Illustrative Albedo, Lifelike Vision and more. These presets are tuned to deliver specific aesthetics or image results.

LoRA training gives you that added power. On Leonardo, using the Flux and SDXL models, you can train your own LoRA – a small, perfectly customised model that learns your look. It can be a specific character, a brand or film style aesthetic, or an object – with as few as 5 images, you can create your own LoRA, which adds another level to the precision of your starting frames and video storytelling with Veo 3.

Omni editing takes the start frame further. Make all the adjustments you need, without altering the aspects you want to keep, and generate all the variations you need to build out different start frames. For example, take your hero character and move the camera – wide angle, up close, different scenes.

You’re ready to film. With Veo 3.1, you can bring it to life, with sound effects, music and the perfect script. And with Veo 3.1’s end frames, you control how the shot closes, not just how it opens – set a start and end frame and let the model carry the motion between them.

So what can you create now? Here’s some inspiration to get you started:

• A sizzle reel to promote a major launch event
• A product prototype, brought to life with video
• A film scene with dialogue, featuring your chosen character
• A storyboard, brought to life with video, for your next pre-production meeting
