Overview
- The updated Ingredients to Video workflow now turns up to three reference images into native 9:16 clips with more expressive motion and stronger character, object, and background consistency.
- Google is offering 1080p and 4K outputs via upscaling, while Veo still generates natively at 720p and Gemini app videos remain 720p, according to a company representative.
- The features are available in the Gemini app and are being integrated into YouTube Shorts and the YouTube Create app, with pro access through Flow, the Gemini API, Vertex AI, and Google Vids.
- All videos produced with Google’s tools carry imperceptible SynthID watermarks, and the Gemini app can verify whether a video was generated with Google AI.
- Veo continues to favor short clips, reported at roughly eight seconds per prompt, aligning the tool with Shorts‑style, mobile‑first workflows.
