OpenAI might be pulling back on video generation, but Google is forging ahead with a major AI update to its Vids editing product. The company's latest video and audio models are now integrated with the tool, and you can choose from various controllable avatars to appear in generated videos. Your creations are also easier to share on YouTube now.
Veo 3.1 is the biggest part of the Vids upgrade. Google first deployed this updated model in Gemini late last year, promising a substantial improvement in realism and consistency. While Google has pitched Veo as a tool for filmmakers, that's not how it positions Vids. Google suggests using the AI tools in Vids to create animated party flyers, business sizzle reels, or a video greeting card. You can use Vids for free, but you won't be able to generate very many videos without an AI subscription.
Google Vids: Generate Videos with Veo 3.1.If you're not paying for any AI access on your account, you only get 10 video generations per month. AI Pro subscribers can get 50 videos, and those paying for Google's spendy AI Ultra plan (either personal or enterprise) get 1,000 videos per month. Like most other Veo implementations, the videos are eight seconds long and 720p resolution.
