Google unveils Veo: A game-changer in AI‑generated videos

Many artificial intelligence enthusiasts think of "Sora" when generating videos from text descriptions. OpenAI is preparing to release this impressive model, but a new competitor has appeared: Google Veo.

The Google I/O 2024 conference is a real treat for fans of AI-based tools and broader technology. Among the novelties presented was Project Astra, an answer to OpenAI's GPT-4. Similarly, Google Veo aims to be an alternative to the Sora model.

How does Google Veo work, and what are its strengths? The mechanism is straightforward: create a prompt and wait for the result. However, this time, it's not just any graphic but a realistic video. Google Veo can generate a one-minute video based on the words entered.

Google promises that the tool will provide high-quality recordings (1080p) and that it will not be limited to generating films. Google Veo will also enable editing.

Veo will enhance the work of professional creators while being accessible to art world beginners. Introducing such advanced tools usually occurs in stages, and this case is no exception.

In the coming weeks, Google will offer some of these features to selected creators through VideoFX, a new experimental tool available on labs.google. You can already sign up for the waiting list.
