YouTube has announced that it will integrate Google DeepMind’s most capable AI video generation model, Veo, into YouTube Shorts.
According to the video platform, this step will help creators generate high-quality backgrounds as well as six-second clips.
Launched this year, Veo was introduced as a cutting-edge video generation model that could compete directly with OpenAI’s Sora.
According to YouTube, with Veo, all doors of imagination are open:
“You’ll be able to create even more incredible video backgrounds, breathing life into concepts that were once impossible to visualize. Imagine a BookTuber stepping into the pages of the classic novel, The Secret Garden, or a fashion designer instantly visualizing fun and imaginative design concepts to share with their audience.”
Moreover, for the first time, users will be able to generate 6-second standalone for Shorts with the help of Veo.
“For example, if you’re looking through your footage and feel like you’re missing something to help tie it all together, you can effortlessly generate a singular clip that fits right in with the content you’ve already captured,” YouTube’s blog post explained.
These creations will be watermarked using SynthID, and YouTube will apply a label that clearly communicates to viewers it was generated with AI.
The introduction of Veo in Shorts signifies a vital improvement of YouTube earlier AI-powered innovation, Dream Screen, launched in 2023 for generating Shorts backgrounds.
