Google’s Veo 2 Video Generation Now Accessible to Gemini Advanced Users

Google has expanded access to its Veo 2 video generation model for Gemini Advanced users, enabling the creation of 720p clips up to eight seconds long with improved understanding of physics and human motion.

Google’s Veo 2 video generation model is finally stepping out of the shadows and into the spotlight, now available to more folks via Gemini Advanced. Imagine whipping up 720p video snippets—up to eight seconds long—where the magic really hinges on how vividly you describe your vision. Google’s not shy about it: the juicier your description, the more you’ll steer the creative wheel.

Right now, these videos come dressed in a 16:9 landscape suit, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially for those square-loving social platforms. But hey, sharing your masterpiece on TikTok or YouTube is a breeze with Gemini’s share sheet, and every video tucks itself neatly into an MP4 file. Veo 2 isn’t just a pretty face; it’s got brains too, with a better grasp on how things move in the real world, making it a notable upgrade from its older sibling.

Want in? It’ll cost you a spot in Google’s $20-a-month One AI Premium Plan club. Once it’s fully unleashed, Veo 2 will chat in all Gemini’s languages, ready to play on both web and mobile. And for those who love to dabble, Google’s tossing Veo 2 into the mix with Whisk, a playground of an app over at Google Labs, where you can breathe life into your still images. Talk about bringing pictures to party!
