Google adds its photo-to-video tech to YouTube Shorts
Google has introduced new AI-powered features to its Google Photos and YouTube Shorts platforms. Google Photos now supports a photo-to-video option that can generate a six-second clip from a still image, powered by the company's Veo 2 engine. Users can choose between "Subtle movements" or "I'm feeling lucky" as the prompt for their video. Additionally, Google Photos is getting a Remix feature that can recreate images in various artistic styles, such as anime, comics, sketches, or 3D animation. These tools will be housed in a new Create tab, set to roll out in the US in August. YouTube Shorts will also receive a photo-to-video capability, powered by Veo 2, which will be available in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand over the next week, with more markets to follow later this year. YouTube Shorts will also get support for Veo 3 generative effects later this summer.
