Hyderabad: YouTube Shorts is getting integrated with Google DeepMind's latest video generation model Veo 2, allowing creators to generate AI video clips for their content. The new functionality will join Dream Screen as an update, which already lets YouTube creators generate unique AI backgrounds for Shorts.
In a blog post, Google mentioned that the new update will allow YouTube creators to generate a video clip using a text prompt, aligning with the Shorts content. The new feature allows a creator to utilise the text-to-video capabilities of Veo 2 and generate high-quality videos for various styles and themes. A creator can even specify what kind of visual element the video requires, such as lens type or cinematic effects.
Notably, the videos generated by Veo 2 will include SynthID watermarks to tell them apart from the non-AI videos.
