Google rolls out its AI video generator to Gemini Advanced subscribers

Google is letting Gemini Advanced subscribers try out Veo 2, its text-to-video AI model that it says is capable of creating high-resolution clips with “cinematic realism.” Starting today, subscribers can select Veo 2 from the Gemini model dropdown on the web and mobile, where they can enter a prompt to generate an eight-second video in 720p.

There’s a limit to how many videos subscribers can create each month, and Google says it will notify users when they approach it. Veo 2 outputs videos in an MP4 format, but users on mobile also have the option to upload them directly to TikTok and YouTube with the “share” button.

Google says the upgraded AI model has a “better understanding real-world physics and human motion,” allowing it to deliver “fluid character movement, lifelike scenes and finer visual details across diverse subjects and styles.” Videos generated with Veo 2 feature SynthID digital watermarks, indicating that they’ve been made with AI.
