Google's Veo 3 Can Now Create an 8-Second Video From a Single Image - How to Try It

GLOBAL, JUL 10 – Google's Veo 3 AI video generator now lets subscribers create eight-second videos with AI audio from still images, with over 40 million videos made in seven weeks, Google said.

  • On May 20, at its annual developer conference, Google introduced Veo 3, a cutting-edge AI system capable of creating eight-second videos with synchronized audio from a single still image.
  • The development follows previous AI video models that struggled to simulate convincing human expressions, making Veo 3’s synchronized video and audio generation a significant advancement.
  • Veo 3 powers features in Google's Gemini app and Flow filmmaking tool, enabling high-quality video with dialogues, sound effects, and cinematic controls, and has already created over 40 million videos in 159 countries.
  • Eli Collins, Vice President of Product at Google DeepMind, emphasized Veo 3’s advanced capabilities, including its ability to interpret text and images, simulate realistic physical behaviors, and produce precise lip synchronization, showcasing both its technical sophistication and creative flexibility.
  • Despite praise, concerns about AI-generated deepfakes and misinformation have emerged, leading Google to implement safeguards like watermarks and restricting Veo 3 access to paid subscribers to help prevent abuse.
