YouTube is bringing a custom version of Google’s text-to-video generative AI model, Veo 3, to Shorts, along with a new remixing tool, an “Edit with AI” feature, and more. The custom version of Veo 3, called Veo 3 Fast, generates outputs with lower latency at 480p, making it easy to create video clips, YouTube says. And now, users can do so with sound for the first time.
This update is rolling out in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. YouTube plans to expand its functionality to more regions in the future.
YouTube is also introducing new Veo features for Shorts videos, including the ability to apply motion from a video to a still image. Creators can now also use Veo to apply different styles to their videos, such as pop art or origami. Plus, now they have the ability to add objects like characters or props with text descriptions.
As for the new remixing tool, the creators can turn the dialogue from eligible videos into catchy soundtracks for other Shorts.
“As the world’s largest creative playground, YouTube is where trends are born and where you can draw inspiration from. Imagine hearing a line of dialogue that sparks an idea – a funny phrase, a memorable quote, or a one-of-a-kind sound – and you want to remix it into a new sound,” YouTube’s Director of Product, Shorts and Generative AI Creation, Dina Berrada wrote. “With our new Speech to Song remixing tool, you’ll be able to do just that.”
YouTube is experimenting with AI editing in Shorts videos and the YouTube Create app, and will expand the feature to selected markets in the coming weeks.
