Step 4: Technical Setup (For Developers)

API Preparation Checklist

If you plan to integrate VEO 4 programmatically, set up these components now:

1. Generate API Keys

Create your API keys in advance. They'll automatically work with VEO 4 when it launches.

Estimated: 50-200MB per video

Sample Integration Code (VEO 3 → VEO 4 Compatible)

const veo = require('veo3gen-sdk'); // Initialize with API key veo.init({ apiKey: 'veo_your_key_here' }); // Generate video (will support VEO 4 automatically) const video = await veo.generate({ model: 'veo-4', // Auto-switch when available prompt: 'Your detailed prompt here', duration: 30, // VEO 4: up to 60 seconds resolution: '4k',// VEO 4: 4K support audio: true }); console.log('Video URL:', video.url);
