Overview

• Canva’s new “Create a Video Clip” feature taps Veo3 to produce eight-second AI videos with synchronized audio and allows up to five generations per month for Pro, Teams, Enterprise, and Nonprofit subscribers under Canva Shield moderation.
• YouTube CEO Neal Mohan announced at Cannes Lions that Shorts will integrate Veo3 this summer, extending beyond the current Dream Screen backgrounds to full AI-generated video and audio clips without a set launch date.
• Unveiled at Google I/O 2025, Veo3 supports native audio generation—including ambient sounds, background noise, and dialogue—and improves prompt adherence, real-world physics, and lip sync.
• Google confirms it uses a subset of YouTube’s billions of videos to train Veo3 and its Gemini models, with no opt-out for creators despite pledges of responsible practices and image-and-likeness protections.
• Industry observers warn that a flood of AI-made Shorts could displace independent creators, erode revenue streams, and pose complex copyright and liability challenges under existing laws.
