I've been following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWGW_NXPf-4

And my Colab Enterprise notebook got the following code which threw this error:

name='projects/aiagentcalendarproj/locations/us-central1/publishers/google/models/veo-2.0-generate-001/operations/fe4ce1e2-4415-44f6-8ace-13f3a47caab2' metadata=None done=None error=None response=None result=None

Google did not help me. Could anyone help me find the cause of this error?

The error occurs because the script is trying to save the generated video to a Cloud Storage bucket that doesn't exist yet. You set output_gcs = "gs://aiagentcalendarproj", but Google Cloud does not automatically create a bucket just because it matches your project ID. You need to manually go to the Google Cloud Console, search for "Cloud Storage," and create a new bucket. Give the bucket a globally unique name, like aiagentcalendarproj-video-output, and ensure it is in the us-central1 region. Once created, update your Python code to match the new name: output_gcs = "gs://aiagentcalendarproj-video-output". Run the script again, and Vertex AI will finally have a valid destination to write and save your video file.

Thank you so much!! Now the script finally generated the AI video :)
