Kiju is a macOS application for creators, producers, and small studios developing vertical dramas, episodic series, and short films. It guides projects from an idea or script through episode planning, character casting, storyboard creation, voice generation, video-shot production, and editing. Users can direct the creative steps, choose among generative video models, and assemble shots into an episode for social-video publishing. The workflow keeps production decisions with the creator and shows a take’s cost before generation. Model use runs through the user’s OpenRouter account and is billed at provider rates, separately from Kiju’s subscription. The application runs on Apple-silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later and supports English and French. It is aimed at independent creators, producers, and small production teams making short-form narrative video.

Veo 3.1 builds on the capabilities of the previous model to enable longer and more versatile AI-generated videos. With this version, users can create multi-shot clips guided by multiple prompts, generate sequences from three reference images, and use frames in video workflows that transition between a start and end image, both with native, synchronized audio. The scene extension feature allows extension of a final second of a clip by up to a full minute of newly generated visuals and sound. Veo 3.1 supports editing of lighting and shadow parameters to improve realism and scene consistency, and offers advanced object removal that reconstructs backgrounds to remove unwanted items from generated footage. These enhancements make Veo 3.1 sharper in prompt-adherence, more cinematic in presentation, and broader in scale compared to shorter-clip models. Developers can access Veo 3.1 via the Gemini API or through the tool Flow, targeting professional video workflows.
