Where do You Set Up Veo 3 for Fast Output?

Open the VidAU AI Veo 3 tool. Sign in. Create a project for each product you plan to film.
Create a project folder for each product. Store hooks, prompts, brand colors, and audio. Use a 9:16 canvas at 1080 by 1920. Keep a captions safe zone. Prepare a short sound library for hits and whooshes. This makes batching simple.
