Enhanced Accessibility for Google's Versatile Video Generation AI, Veo 2
Google has announced the launch of Veo 2, an advanced AI video generation model, exclusively for Google One AI Premium (Gemini Advanced) subscribers. This innovative tool allows users to create high-quality, detailed video clips with support for up to 4K resolution.
Veo 2 is designed to generate realistic videos by following complex text prompts, controlling camera angles, lighting, motion, and applying various art styles. The videos, delivered in 16:9 landscape format as MP4 files, showcase visually impressive clips that resemble 3D animation.
One of the key features of Veo 2 is its ability to smoothly animate static images into fluid video clips. Users can customise visuals with specific camera techniques like tracking shots and blurred backgrounds, and choose from multiple art styles to suit different branding needs, ranging from photorealistic to stylised graphics.
Veo 2 is particularly useful for creating short-form clips optimised for social media platforms, aiding creators and marketers with quick, professional-quality content. The videos generated by Veo 2 are limited to 720p resolution and 8 seconds in length.
Google has implemented digital watermarking (SynthID) to identify videos generated by Veo 2 as AI-created. This move aims to prevent confusion and maintain transparency in the content created using the model.
Google One AI Premium, which costs the same as Gemini Advanced at $20 per month, includes a Gemini Advanced subscription and additional Google One benefits. Gemini Advanced offers access to most of Google’s AI models, making it an ideal platform for users seeking to explore and utilise Google’s AI capabilities.
In addition to Veo 2, Google is also launching Whisk Animate, a tool designed to make creating eldritch AI horrors easier using prompt windows. Whisk Animate allows users to create new images and animate them using the Veo 2 model.
Google has done extensive red teaming to try and anticipate potential misuse of Veo 2. The company's PR strategy for Veo 2 resembles the early days of CGI animation, aiming to avoid the uncanny valley to prevent scaring users.
As Veo 2 becomes available to Gemini Advanced subscribers, social media feeds may feature more visual horrors due to its availability. This development could revolutionise the way content is created and shared online.
With Veo 2's rollout to Gemini Advanced subscribers beginning today, users can now access this powerful AI tool and start creating their own photorealistic video content. The availability of Veo 2 on Gemini Advanced makes it near parity with ChatGPT Plus, which offers access to OpenAI’s Sora video model.
