Google has announced a program called Veo, which the company calls the “most capable” AI video generator to date. Filmmaker, actor, and musician Donald Glover showed off the tool in a video during his Google I/O, the tech giant's annual developer conference.
Veo creates 1080p videos based on the text, images, and video prompts you provide. Veo allows you to create videos from specific perspectives (such as landscapes or aerial shots) and adjust them with follow-up prompts. Google also released a new video editing tool called Video FX. It allows you to storyboard your videos and expand the clips as needed.
Google I/O 2024 details
Donald Glover showed off how he and his team used Veo to create a new short film. Glover and others praised how they used Veo to visualize ideas, spark creativity, and speed up processes. In a video played on I/O (not produced by Veo), Glover said, “You can make mistakes faster. At least in art, what you really want at the end of the day is to make mistakes quickly.” The only thing you can do is commit a crime.”
