Overview
- Veo’s Ingredients-to-Video now produces more expressive clips with improved character identity and background and object persistence.
- Creators can generate native 9:16 portrait videos from reference images for platforms like YouTube Shorts without cropping.
- The update is rolling out across the Gemini app, YouTube Shorts and YouTube Create, Flow, Google Vids, the Gemini API and Vertex AI.
- Upscaling to 1080p and 4K is restricted to Flow, the Gemini API and Vertex AI, reflecting a split between consumer and professional workflows.
- Clips accept up to three reference images and remain short per prompt, and all outputs carry SynthID watermarks with Gemini verification for provenance.
