Google is on the brink of launching a new feature within its Gemini app that leverages the power of its video generation model, Veo 2. Users will soon be able to generate high-quality, eight-second videos simply by describing their creative concepts. This capability is nearly finalized and expected to roll out soon. According to the latest APK Insight from Google, beta version 16.11 includes clear indications of this video generation function. It states, “Get high-quality videos with Veo 2, Gemini’s latest video generation model.”
The introduction of Veo 2 builds on Google’s previous advancements showcased at the I/O 2024 event, where it was initially discussed. This new tool offers users the ability to articulate their ideas, after which Veo 2 will transform those ideas into concise video clips, typically ready within one to two minutes. However, there will be limits on video generation activities, with both daily and monthly quotas. Currently, access to this feature is gated through a waitlist in Google Labs, tied to the VideoFX program, and it appears that initial access will be granted to subscribers of the Gemini app’s Advanced tier.
The Gemini app is set to incorporate a video player, enabling users to view and download their creations, as well as share them through links. Development of this feature has been ongoing for several weeks, under the project codename “Toucan.” With more recent updates in this release clarifying the nature of Veo 2 and its video generation capabilities, a public launch for Gemini users could be imminent.
Back in February, Google hinted at innovative methods for content creation utilizing its suite of video, audio, and image generation tools. Currently, users have the ability to generate images featuring people through Imagen 3, and recently, audio overviews capabilities were added to their toolkit. However, it remains to be seen whether the audio features will expand to include music generation in future updates.
In conclusion, the integration of Veo 2 into the Gemini app signifies a significant step toward democratizing video content creation, simplifying the process of transforming ideas into visual media. Both amateur creators and seasoned professionals can anticipate new immersive ways to express themselves through this advanced video generation platform as its launch approaches.
