Google continues to lead the world in artificial intelligence. Their latest upgrade to the Veo 3 AI video generator just goes to show. The tech giant announced that it is integrating an image-to-video generation feature into Veo 3, accessible through the Gemini app. This announcement comes on the heels of its new AI-powered video creation tool, Flow, that debuted in May at the Google I/O developer conference.
Now, video creation is simpler than ever, with the new feature allowing users to quickly build out video clips. Simply click the “Videos” tool button in the prompt box and upload a picture! This breakthrough makes it easier than ever to create high-quality videos. It’s in line with Google’s goals of democratizing AI tools and making them more easily accessible to non-experts. Since its launch, users have created more than 40 million videos on the Gemini app and Flow tool. That’s an incredible figure and a testament to great mobilization after seven short weeks.
Since this update, Google has inserted an obvious watermark across all videos produced using the Veo 3 model. You should start to see “Veo” spelled out on-screen over top of those videos. Further, a new, invisible SynthID digital watermark will be embedded in these videos. The SynthID watermark is an important new mechanism to help identify AI-generated digital artifacts, bolstering content traceability and authenticity. Earlier this year, Google introduced a free new tool for identifying created content that uses SynthID. This step is an exciting continuation of their commitment to leading on transparency in AI-generated media.
This new Veo 3-powered video generation capability recently became available in more than 150 countries. Now, users around the world can take advantage of this innovative new technology! The Gemini app features sample images and videos that showcase the potential of the new image-to-video generation feature, providing users with examples of what they can create.
This addition is just another example of Google’s massive push into the AI space and using AI in creative industries. With Flow, Veo 3 inherent strengths and capabilities of both Flow and Veo 3 will be combined. This exciting collaboration will further empower creators’ page turn productions and expand their creative horizons.
