Google has announced a major upgrade to its AI video generation tool, Veo3. Users just need to upload a single static photo to generate high-quality audio and video content, demonstrating the huge potential of AI in the creative field.
Images come to life: Core features of Veo3
This upgrade of Veo3 allows users to create dynamic videos starting from a single image through Google's Flow creation platform. What is most amazing is that the tool can maintain consistency of the same character across multiple shots, opening up new possibilities for video production.
During the use of Veo3, users simply need to select the "Frames to Video" option and start creating from a single uploaded image. It is worth noting that this feature is not yet available in the Gemini app, and users must operate on the Flow platform. Users can flexibly choose the first frame and the last frame, but if both are selected at the same time, Veo3 cannot be used.
This upgrade also introduced rich camera movement functions, including dolly-in shots, enhancing the professionalism of video generation. Testers found that Veo3 can create animation effects perfectly using only the given image without text prompts, resulting in natural and vivid performances.
Video Quality and Resource Consumption
Users can choose different quality generation models, but they will consume corresponding credits. For example, the Quality mode consumes five times the resources of the Fast mode. Specifically, the Fast mode consumes 20 credits, while the Quality mode requires 100 credits.
Many netizens expressed their surprise after experiencing Veo3, stating that this technology's breakthrough in the AI storytelling field impressed them. The characters have natural expressions and accurate performances, making the entire video lively and interesting. Especially the image-based generation technology allows people to feel the great potential and diverse application prospects of AI creation.
