It's not difficult to understand why Google is investing so much time, money and effort into AI tools. Since the spread of AI with ChatGpt, the sector has grown significantly over the past few years, with major brands like Apple, Samsung, Microsoft and Nvidia competing for key positions.

Naturally, Google also took part in this race, and there was an explosion of AI tools and features within the brand's ecosystem. But if there is one thing I've learned through all of this, it's always that there's more room to be had. Today, Google offers one of the more popular AI tools to YouTube, allowing you to create small clips using photos while taking advantage of various effects.
This will be a big thing
If you're currently paying to access Google's AI Pro or AI Ultra plans, or you have access to any of those plans because you purchased a Pixel phone, this new feature that comes to YouTube should sound familiar. Google recently released images to video tools for subscribers to AI plans, providing a fun and creative way to showcase how powerful AI is.
Essentially, this tool can get your photos up and add a small twist with some effects. YouTube users will be able to select photos and realize them in motion using creative suggestions from Google. As for some examples, Google can add subtle movements to landscape videos, create realistic backgrounds, draw subjects, and make them come true.
If you can see it working, that's really quite a thing. Most importantly, this feature is free for users via YouTube. This is a great way for people to start experimenting and using it. This feature is currently powered by Google's VEO 2 and will receive a VEO 3 upgrade later this year.

The Pixel 9 Pro brings a new form factor to Google's high-end products, with the same dimensions as the standard Pixel 9 model, and packs all the AI and camera skills you've become accustomed to from Google's Pro lineup.
For the first deployment, this feature will be made available free of charge to people in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. This will definitely hit the web with a new AI video explosion, but Google has some protections in place, such as SynthID watermarks and visual markers, which will help AI to distinguish between generated videos.
If you're interested in creating your own videos using AI effects, you can go to the YouTube mobile app and press + Sign to start creating. Once you have selected an image from the gallery, you have the option to create a video. There is also an Effects tab that lets you add AI-generated talent to your photos.
