Google has introduced Flow, a next-generation AI filmmaking platform designed to revolutionize how creators bring their stories to life. Unveiled as an evolution of its earlier VideoFX experiment, Flow is a custom-built tool that leverages Google’s most advanced AI modelsVeo, Imagen, and Gemini, to help filmmakers create cinematic visuals with ease and precision. The tool is now available in the U.S. through the Google AI Pro and AI Ultra subscription plans, with a broader rollout planned soon.
Google Flow enables storytellers to turn ideas into stunning video sequences using simple, everyday language. The Gemini model interprets prompts naturally, while Veo produces high-fidelity video outputs with rich realism and dynamic motion. Imagen adds to this creative pipeline by allowing users to generate visual elements from text. Whether filmmakers bring their own assets or create them within the platform, Flow ensures visual consistency across scenes and shots — a crucial feature for professionals aiming for polished narratives.
Innovative Features Enhance Creative Control
Google Flow is built with an array of features catering to both seasoned professionals and newcomers exploring visual storytelling. Its Camera Controls allow users to manipulate angles, perspectives, and motion paths, granting precision over each shot. The Scenebuilder tool makes it easy to extend or transition scenes seamlessly while maintaining character and visual continuity.
For organization and workflow efficiency, Asset Management enables creators to store and manage visual ingredients and prompts in one place. Additionally, Google Flow TV is a built-in showcase that provides inspiration through an evolving library of user-generated content. Creators can view exact prompts used in each clip, offering practical insight into style, technique, and narrative construction.
The Google AI Ultra plan takes it a step further with early access to Veo 3, which includes native audio generation. This means environmental sounds and even character dialogue can be integrated directly into AI-generated videos, pushing the boundary of what’s possible in automated filmmaking.
Collaborations with Filmmakers Signal Future of AI Cinema
Google has worked closely with a select group of filmmakers to refine Flow and better understand its real-world applications in storytelling. Among them is Dave Clark, an award-winning director who integrated AI tools into his latest short films, including “Freelancers,” a story of two estranged adopted brothers on parallel quests.
Henry Daubrez, known for merging technology and art for nearly two decades, previously used Veo 2 for his poetic short “Kitsune”. He is now working on “Electric Pink,” a deeply personal narrative exploring his creative evolution.
Filmmaker Junie Lau, celebrated for her innovative storytelling, is creating “Dear Stranger,” a film exploring love across multiverses. Lau sees AI as a vital creative partner, particularly in stories that probe digital identity and modern human experience.
With Flow, Google aims to democratize high-end visual storytelling and empower a new generation of filmmakers. As AI continues to reshape the creative landscape, Google Flow offers a glimpse into a future where imagination and innovation merge more seamlessly than ever.
