Generate video for your game with Bali

Bali can generate video for your game: story cutscenes, animated intros, character moments, environment flyovers, transitions and narrative reveals. Video generation starts with Google’s Veo models, with more to come.

Generate a video

1. Ask Bali, for example: “Create an 8-second intro of the hero walking into the misty forest at dawn.”
2. Review the prompt in the Generate Video card.
3. Open Advanced Options to adjust the settings below.
4. Click Generate. Video takes longer to generate than images.
5. Review the result and click Done. Videos are saved as MP4 files.

Settings

Setting	Options
Model	A fast model (the default) or the standard model.
Duration	4, 6 or 8 seconds. The default is 8.
Resolution	720p, 1080p or 4K.
Aspect Ratio	16:9 (landscape) or 9:16 (portrait, for mobile games).
Width / Height	Optional exact dimensions from 256 to 4096 pixels. Set both or neither.

Guide the video with images

You can steer the result with images that are already in your project. Enter their paths in Advanced Options, or just mention them to Bali: “Use assets/hero.png as the first frame.”

Field	Use it to
Image Path (optional)	Set the first frame, so the video starts exactly where you want.
Last Frame Path (optional)	Set the last frame. Needs a first frame too.
Asset Reference Images (optional)	Show characters, objects or places that should appear in the video.
Style Reference Images (optional)	Match your game’s art style.
Video Extension Input Path (optional)	Continue an existing video to make a longer sequence.

To use an image that isn’t in your project yet, upload it to the Assets tab or generate it first.

Rules to know

• You can use up to 3 reference images in total, across asset and style references.
• Videos that use reference images, extend another video, or render at 1080p or 4K are always 8 seconds long.
• Extending a video can’t be combined with other images or references, and the extension is rendered at 720p.

Ideas

• Cutscenes between levels. Set the last frame of level 1 as the first frame of the cutscene for a seamless transition.
• Animated title screens. Use your key art as the first frame and describe subtle motion, like drifting fog or flickering torches.
• Story reveals. Add your main character as an asset reference so they look the same in every clip.
• Longer sequences. Generate an 8-second clip, then extend it to continue the action.

Tip

Video uses more Sparks than other assets. Get the look right with a still image first, then use it as the first frame.
