How to choose: Use Veo3 Agent when you have a creative goal that needs planning, several steps, and ongoing revisions. If the input, generation method, and desired result are already clear, open the matching tool directly.

New Canvas

Homepage overview: New Canvas
New Canvas: Start a new Agent canvas from a complete goal.

Select the purple New Canvas card to create an Agent canvas. Inside the project, rename it, explain the goal in chat, and review workflow nodes and generated assets.

Start with one complete objective, for example:

Create a 15-second vertical product film for a portable espresso maker.
Use realistic commercial cinematography and warm morning light.
Show its compact size, fast extraction and rich crema. No dialogue or subtitles.
Plan the shots first and wait for confirmation before generation.

The homepage places three video tools on the first row and two image tools on the second:

OrderToolBest for

3Reference to VideoUse several character, product, scene, or style images to guide one video
4Text to ImageCreate characters, scenes, product images, or storyboards from text
5Image to ImagePreserve selected parts of an image while changing the picture

Video tools show model-specific settings such as aspect ratio, duration, resolution, and sound. Image tools show aspect ratio and resolution, plus transparent-background output when supported.

Text to Image and Image to Image also offer Multi-shot generation (Beta). Generate 6, 9, or 12 related images at once for storyboards, multiple compositions of one subject, or a connected sequence.

Create nine connected storyboard frames for a premium travel kettle campaign.
Keep the same matte silver kettle, walnut handle and coastal cabin in every frame.
Cover the establishing shot, product setup, water pour, power-on detail, steam close-up,
cup fill, hand-held use, packed travel bag and final hero shot. No captions.
