Google Unleashes Its Power! Create 8-Second Videos from Descriptions and Images with Veo 2

What is Veo 2?

Veo 2 is a high-resolution video generation AI model designed to understand real-world physics and human movement. This results in realistic, smooth, and cinematic-quality videos with stunning detail.

Highlights of Veo 2:

• Generates 8-second videos in 720p resolution

• Supports realistic, fantasy, animation, and voxel-style visuals

• Exports in MP4 format, 16:9 aspect ratio, ready to share instantly

• Embeds SynthID watermark in every frame to indicate AI-generated content

How to Create Videos with Gemini

If you're using Gemini Advanced, you can select the Veo 2 model from the menu and type a description of your desired scene, such as:

• “A massive ice cave bathed in pale blue light, with two people in exosuits walking through it.”

• “A small mouse wearing oversized glasses reading a book under a glowing mushroom in a forest.”

Gemini will instantly transform your description into a video. The more detailed your input, the more accurate the result. You can even share the videos directly to TikTok or YouTube Shorts.
