Veo Video Generation Skill

Generate high-definition cinematic video (720p, 1080p, 4k) with native synchronized dialogue, sound effects, keyframe interpolation (last_frame), multi-image asset direction (reference_images), and multi-hop scene extension using Google's Veo foundation models (veo-3.1-generate-preview, veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview, veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview, veo-3.0-generate-001) via the Google Gen AI SDKs (client.models.generate_videos) and the gemini-api CLI.

Prerequisites: gemini-api CLI Setup

Ensure the gemini-api CLI is installed for terminal video generation, file management (gemini-api files), and credential configuration:

# 1. Verify or install gemini-api CLI on macOS and Linux
command -v gemini-api >/dev/null 2>&1 || (curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google-gemini/gemini-api-cli/main/scripts/install.sh | bash)
# Windows (PowerShell): iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google-gemini/gemini-api-cli/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex

# 2a. Authenticate with a Gemini API Key (environment variable or OS keychain)
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
# Or store credentials in the OS keychain:
gemini-api configure --api-key "your-api-key"
