Getting Started

Getting started with Google Veo 2 is straightforward. Here's how to begin:

1. Install the client library:

bash
npm install --save @fal-ai/client
# or
pip install fal-client

2. Configure your authentication:

javascript
import { fal } from "@fal-ai/client";

fal.config({
  credentials: "YOUR_FAL_KEY"
});

3. Make your first API call:

javascript
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/veo2/image-to-video", {
  input: {
    image_url: "YOUR_IMAGE_URL",
    prompt: "A lego chef cooking eggs"
  }
});

Best Practices for Optimal Results

Consider these guidelines when using Veo 2:

Input Image Quality Choose high-resolution images with clear subjects and good lighting. Images should be at least 720p or higher for optimal results.

Prompt Writing Write descriptive prompts that specify the desired animation, camera movement, and style. The prompt should describe how the image should be animated.

Error Handling Implement proper error handling in your application:

javascript
try {
  const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/veo2/image-to-video", {
    input: {
      image_url: imageUrl,
      prompt: "Your animation description"
    }
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error("Video generation failed:", error.message);
}

Integration Guide

Integrate Veo 2 into your existing workflow:

  input: {
    image_url: imageUrl,
    prompt: "Camera slowly zooms in on the subject",
    aspect_ratio: "16:9",
    duration: "5s"
  },
  webhookUrl: "https://your.webhook.url"
});

// Check status
const status = await fal.queue.status("fal-ai/veo2/image-to-video", {
  requestId: request_id,
  logs: true
});

// Get result
const result = await fal.queue.result("fal-ai/veo2/image-to-video", {
  requestId: request_id
});

Advanced Usage

Fine-tune your video generation with available parameters:

javascript
const result = await fal.subscribe("fal-ai/veo2/image-to-video", {
  input: {
    image_url: imageUrl,
    prompt: "A smooth tracking shot revealing the scene",
    aspect_ratio: "16:9", // or "9:16", "auto"
    duration: "5s" // 5s to 8s
  },
  logs: true,
  onQueueUpdate: (update) => {
    if (update.status === "IN_PROGRESS") {
      console.log("Processing:", update.logs);
    }
  }
});

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

Poor Video Quality

• Ensure input image meets minimum resolution requirements (720p+)
• Write more descriptive prompts with specific motion instructions
• Try different aspect ratios for better results

Processing Errors

• Verify image format compatibility (jpg, jpeg, png, webp, gif, avif)
• Check API key permissions
• Ensure image URL is publicly accessible
