Title: Google's Frighteningly Good Veo 3 AI Videos To Be Integrated With
YouTube Shorts

Link: https://news.slashdot.org/story/25/06/18/1972...

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: YouTube CEO Neal Mohan
has announced that the Google Veo 3 AI video generator will be integrated
with YouTube Shorts later this summer. According to Mohan, YouTube Shorts has
seen a rise in popularity even compared to YouTube as a whole. The streaming
platform is now the most watched source of video in the world, but Shorts
specifically have seen a massive 186 percent increase in viewership over the
past year. Mohan says Shorts now average 200 billion daily views. YouTube has
already equipped creators with a few AI tools, including Dream Screen, which
can produce AI video backgrounds with a text prompt. Veo 3 support will be a
significant upgrade, though. At the Cannes festival, Mohan revealed that the
streaming site will begin offering integration with Google's leading video
model later this summer. "I believe these tools will open new creative lanes
for everyone to explore," said Mohan. [...] While you can add Veo 3 videos
(or any video) to a YouTube Short right now, they don't fit with the format's
portrait orientation focus. Veo 3 outputs 720p landscape videos, meaning
you'd have black bars in a Short. Presumably, Google will create a custom
version of the model for YouTube to spit out vertical video clips. Mohan
didn't mention a pricing model, but Veo 3 probably won't be cheap for Shorts
creators. Currently, you must pay for Google's $250 AI Ultra plan to access
Veo 3, and that still limits you to 125 8-second videos per month.
