Google Veo is Google's latest AI model designed for short video generation. Unveiled at Google I/O 2024, it's considered their most capable video generator yet.
It’s part of a larger effort to outdo its competitor OpenAI. Veo gives users more control over cinematic styles by understanding prompts such as “time lapse” or “aerial shots of a landscape.”
Veo can produce 1080p videos from either video clips or text inputs, and Video X will storyboard and direct video sequences.
Google has a significant edge in training generative video models, thanks to its ownership of YouTube. The company has already announced collaborations with artists like Donald Glover and Wyclef Jean, who are leveraging this technology for their projects.
