Prompt + How-To – Create Hyper-Realistic AI ASMR Food Cutting Videos (Google Veo 3.1)
AI ASMR food cutting videos work because they trigger sound, texture, and anticipation at the same time. With Google Veo 3.1, you can generate these clips directly from text, as long as your prompt is structured correctly.
This guide shows exactly how to do that.
🎯 Goal
Create a short, hyper-realistic ASMR food cutting video that feels:
- Intimate
- Slow
- Textural
- Satisfying
Optimized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
🔪 1️⃣ Use a Single, Detailed Text-to-Video Prompt
With Veo 3.1, everything lives inside one prompt. The key is describing visuals, motion, lighting, AND sound clearly and calmly.
Your Prompt (Copy-Paste Ready)
“A hyper-realistic, macro close-up shot of a sharp chef's knife slowly slicing through a fresh, steaming loaf of sourdough bread on a rustic wooden cutting board. The crust is golden-brown and crackles under the blade, releasing a soft puff of steam. Focus on the intricate textures of the airy crumb inside. The camera movement is a slow, cinematic push-in. The audio is crystal clear, featuring the distinct, high-fidelity sound of the crunching crust, the soft hiss of steam, and the rhythmic thud of the knife hitting the wood. Soft, natural morning light from a side window creates deep shadows and highlights the flour dust on the crust.”

This prompt already contains everything Veo needs:
- Subject
- Action
- Camera
- Audio
- Lighting
- Texture
Do not shorten it.
🎥 2️⃣ Camera & Motion Rules (Critical for ASMR)
Veo performs best when motion is slow and intentional.
What Works
- Macro or extreme close-up
- One continuous action
- Slow push-in or static shot
- No cuts, no jumps
What to Avoid
- Fast slicing
- Multiple angles
- Sudden camera moves
- Over-dramatic effects
ASMR dies instantly if motion feels rushed.
🔊 3️⃣ Audio Is Not Optional
For ASMR, audio is half the video.
Must-Have Sounds
- Sharp crust crunch
- Soft steam hiss
- Knife contacting wood
Avoid
- Music
- Background ambience
- Reverb
- Crowd or kitchen noise
Always describe audio as:
“Crystal clear, high-fidelity, close-mic ASMR sound.”
This tells Veo to prioritize realism.
🌅 4️⃣ Lighting Makes It Feel Real
Lighting cues help Veo produce more believable footage.
Best Lighting Descriptions
- Soft natural light
- Side window lighting
- Morning or neutral daylight
- Visible shadows
Avoid neon, studio, or cinematic lighting terms for ASMR.
⏱️ 5️⃣ Ideal Video Length
5–8 seconds is the sweet spot.
Why:
- Loopable
- Satisfying
- Perfect for short-form feeds
Longer clips often lose tension.
🧠 Pro Tips for Better Results
One action only
One slice. One motion. Nothing else.
Texture > aesthetics
Always mention crumb, resistance, crackle, steam.
Slow pacing beats perfection
Natural beats polished.
Write prompts like a food commercial, not a movie script
Simple, sensory, grounded.
🍞 ASMR Foods That Work Extremely Well
- Sourdough bread
- Croissants

If it crunches, cracks, or resists — it performs.
