On June 22, Google extended Veo 3.1's audio generation to existing Flow creation features — Ingredients to Video, Frames to Video, and Extend — that previously produced silent output. Two new precision editing tools were also added: Insert (adding elements to a scene with matched lighting) and Remove (deleting objects with automatic background reconstruction). Available in Gemini API, Vertex AI, the Gemini app, and Flow.

Why it matters

Extending native audio to reference-image-driven and clip-extension workflows closes a major gap for professional users who build videos from existing material. The Insert and Remove tools move Veo toward a full post-production pipeline.

Importance: 2/5

Notable update extending audio to all Veo workflows; incremental but closes an important gap
