Proposed fix: [Veo via google-genai] 'Saving remote videos is not supported.' (Python) / 'Failed to download generated video, Uri or videoBytes not found.' (JS) — generated video only has a URI
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Gemini Developer API: call client.files.download(file=generated_video.video) before .save(). Vertex/Gemini Enterprise with output_gcs_uri: fetch the gs:// object with Cloud Storage tools instead.
Option: client.files.download(file=generated_video.video) [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. generated_video.video.save('out.mp4')
2. For gs:// outputs use Cloud Storage download
Expected: The call succeeds or the failure is handled deliberately.
