Overview

  • The Gemini app’s new preview feature lets pro subscribers transform a single image into an eight-second MP4 video at 720p with AI-generated audio.
  • The rollout begins July 10–11 for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in more than 150 countries through the Gemini web interface, with mobile access coming later this week.
  • Google embeds visible watermarks alongside invisible SynthID codes in all generated videos and has conducted extensive red teaming to prevent unsafe or deceptive outputs.
  • Since its May debut, Veo 3 has powered over 40 million video creations across Gemini and Flow, showcasing rapid user adoption and creative experimentation.
  • Observers caution that broader AI video tools may fuel misinformation, copyright conflicts and deepfake misuse without stronger content rights protections.
