Google Gemini Can Now Turn Photos into 8-Second Videos with Sound
Google has added a new feature to Veo 3, the video creation tool in its Gemini AI platform. Now, users can turn still images into short videos using artificial intelligence.
How It Works
With this new update, users can upload a photo and Gemini will create an 8-second video clip from it. The video will also include sound, based on your instructions.
To use the feature:
- Go to the Videos option in the tool menu.
- Upload an image.
- Describe the scene you want, and give any audio instructions.
- Gemini will then generate the video, which you can download or share.
Users can also give thumbs up or down feedback to help Google improve the tool.
Who Can Use It?
This feature is available now for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in select countries. The same function is also available in Flow, Google’s AI tool for filmmaking.
Rapid Growth
Google shared that more than 40 million videos have already been created using Veo 3 through the Gemini app and Flow in the last seven weeks. With this new photo-to-video option, that number is expected to grow even faster.
AI Watermarks
All videos made with this tool will include both a visible watermark and a hidden SynthID digital watermark to clearly mark them as AI-generated.
