Veo 3.1 Pro Customer Story Video Storyboard Prompts

Prompt template

Create a [duration] cinematic storyboard frame or illustrative insert for an approved customer story. Story beat: [specific operational context]. Camera: [angle, lens, movement]. Scene: [neutral workplace / product detail / environment]. Protected context: [real customer imagery and quotes stay separate]. Visual tone: [specific]. Reserve [zone] for captions or metrics. No synthetic customer, employee likeness, voice, quote, logo, metric, revenue claim, certification, testimonial, text, watermark, or fabricated location.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Collect the approved written story, real metrics, quotes, dates, media releases, and correction policy.
2. Separate documentary footage, approved customer imagery, and illustrative generated shots in the script.
3. Write a beat board: problem, constraints, workflow change, measured result, and customer’s own next step.
4. Generate only neutral inserts, product details, or environment shots—not replacement testimony.
5. Attach each metric and quote to its approved source in an editable caption layer.
6. Review identity, location, ethnicity, role, industry, and outcome for accidental fabrication.
7. Send the assembled edit, disclosures, and source table for customer and legal approval.

Example prompt variants

• Neutral opening insert: early-morning empty workshop, slow dolly through real-scale equipment, no people, logos, claims, or text.
• Process detail: approved software dashboard placeholder area left blank so a real screenshot can be composited later.
• Closing context: quiet desk scene with an empty lower-third caption zone and no synthetic customer reaction.

Quality checklist

• Quotes, metrics, dates, roles, locations, and outcomes have documented customer approval.
• No generated person or voice is presented as the customer or their employees.
• Illustrative shots are visually distinguishable or clearly labeled in the final edit.
• Customer likeness, location, product, and confidential information follow signed releases.
• Captions, transcripts, metrics, disclosures, links, and CTAs remain editable and accessible.

Mistakes to avoid

• Generating a convincing synthetic customer to deliver a real or invented quote.
• Turning an illustrative workflow scene into evidence of a measured business result.
• Blending real footage and generated inserts without a clear editing policy.
• Publishing private details, identifiable locations, screenshots, or metrics without renewed consent.
