video not generating

hi im using veo 3.1 to generate a video to generate a simple video but its not working. sharing the pormpt below.

Vlog-style phone video, vertical 9:16, 4–6 seconds.

A young Indian woman sits on the floor beside a simple rangoli made of loose powder.
She is wearing a pink salwar.
She holds the phone herself and speaks casually in Hindi, smiling.

She says:
“हैप्पी रिपब्लिक डे, सबको… थोड़ा रंग लग गया इसको भी।”

A house crow stands beside her.
The crow has a small, uneven smudge of orange rangoli powder on its feathers, randomly placed, not neat.
The woman gently dusts the powder off the crow with her fingers once or twice.

The crow remains calm, curious, and stationary.
It does NOT walk toward or step into the rangoli.
No flying, no sudden movements.

Lighting:
Natural indoor daylight from a window with bars.
Uneven lighting, mild shadows, slightly underexposed areas.

Camera & realism:
Shot on a handheld phone.
Slight motion shake, minor focus breathing, subtle phone noise.
No cinematic lighting, no color grading, no HDR.
No slow motion.
No dramatic framing.

Audio:
Natural room tone, faint morning sounds.
Her voice is soft, real, no echo, no background music.

Overall feel:
Casual, imperfect, everyday vlog moment.

Hey @Sandeep22711732r7ug 

 

Just to add a bit to what @daniellei4510  mentioned.

To add the voice consider using Adobe Express.

Adobe Express is a free app that enables you to add voice soundtrack.

 

Cheers

Nate

I’m by no means an expert in text to video, but some suggestions regarding your prompt. You might be confusing the bot. It’s best to tell the bot what you WANT it to do, not what you DON’T want it to do. For example, you prompt that the crow is stationary, then tell it not to walk, with no flying or sudden movements. The word stationary should be enough. No cinematic lighting and no HDR. No slow motion. No dramatic framing. All those negative prompts are or should be understood. Not to mention that negative commands are often ignored at best, or cause the exact opposite to happen at the very least. Anyway, just some suggestions. And you didn’t specify precisely what isn’t working. Are you getting no result at all, or getting a result that you are not asking for?
