Google Officially Launches Veo 3
Hello MI friends!
Google recently announced the launch of Veo 3, its latest AI model for video generation, at the I/O event on Tuesday (May 20th). Veo 3 is not only capable of creating videos but also synchronized audio, including background sounds and human voices, with excellence in real-world physics simulation and lip-sync capabilities. These features make it a tool with tremendous potential for filmmakers and the creative industry.
Access to Veo 3 is provided through Flow, a new AI-powered filmmaking platform from Google, which was also introduced at the I/O event. Flow is specifically designed for creators and optimized for Google's most advanced AI models such as Veo, Imagen, and Gemini. The platform aims to help storytellers explore ideas and create clips and cinematic scenes with ease. Google highlights that Veo 3 is one of the first models to successfully synchronize AI-generated video and audio, a complex technical challenge.
Within Flow, users can use natural language prompts to generate scene elements that can then be seamlessly assembled. Key features of Flow include camera controls for adjusting movement and viewpoints, Scenebuilder for extending existing clips while maintaining continuity (based on the last 24 frames of the previous clip), asset management for organizing all project materials, and Flow TV as a platform for sharing and viewing works.
Users can create clips by typing prompts or uploading images as references. Scenebuilder allows for adding new scenes while preserving the context and visual appearance of previous clips, for example, placing characters in different situations with consistent styling. Once completed, videos can be downloaded in quality up to 1080p or in GIF format. Currently, this feature is available to Gemini Pro and Gemini Ultra subscribers in the United States.
The launch of Veo 3 through the Flow platform marks a significant step for Google in integrating AI into the creative industry and addressing technical challenges regarding AI video-audio synchronization. This AI utilization is targeted at creators with intuitive tools to facilitate cinematic content creation.
