What are Google AI Video Models?

Google has developed a number of AI video models, with the most prominent being Veo. Veo is a generative AI model that can create high-quality, high-definition video clips from text prompts, images, or a combination of both.

Key Capabilities of Veo

• Text-to-Video: Users can describe a scene or action, and the model will generate a video that matches the prompt. For example, you could prompt it to create “a video of a cute dog wearing goggles and swimming underwater.”
• Image-to-Video: Veo can take a still image and animate it, bringing it to life with movement and context. This can be used to add motion to static photos or create a video that starts with a specific visual.
• Creative Control: The model is designed to understand cinematic language, allowing users to specify things like camera angles (“aerial shot”), styles (“timelapse”), and lighting to achieve a specific look and feel.
• Native Audio: Newer versions of Veo, like Veo 3, can also generate native audio, including sound effects, ambient noise, and even dialogue that is synchronized with the video content.

Veo is not a standalone product but a core technology that is integrated into various Google services, including:

• Google AI Studio: A web platform for developers and creators to experiment with and build applications using Google’s generative models, including Veo.
• Google Vids: A dedicated AI-powered video creation tool within Google Workspace that uses Veo to help users quickly generate custom video clips for presentations, marketing, and internal communications.
• Google AI Plans: Veo is available to consumers through various subscription plans (e.g., Google AI Pro) that give users access to its generative capabilities.
