Google is integrating its Veo 2 video-generating AI model into Gemini Advanced, allowing subscribers to create short, cinematic videos from text prompts. The new feature, launched on April 15, 2025, enables Gemini Advanced users to generate 8-second, 720p videos in a 16:9 aspect ratio, suitable for sharing on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. These videos can be downloaded as MP4 files and include Google's SynthID watermark, ensuring transparency regarding AI-generated content. Currently, this offering is exclusively for Google One AI Premium subscribers and does not extend to Google Workspace business and educational plans.
Veo 2 is also being integrated into Whisk, an experimental tool within Google Labs. This integration includes a new feature called "Whisk Animate" that transforms uploaded images into animated video clips, also utilizing the Veo 2 model. Similar to Gemini, the video output in Whisk is limited to eight seconds and is accessible only to Premium subscribers. The integration of Veo 2 into Gemini Advanced and Whisk represents Google's efforts to compete with other AI video generation platforms. Google's Veo 2 is designed to turn detailed text prompts into cinematic-quality videos with lifelike motion, natural physics, and visually rich scenes. The system is able to interpret detailed text prompts and turn them into fully animated clips with lifelike elements and a strong visual narrative. To ensure responsible use and transparency, Google employs its proprietary SynthID technology, which embeds an invisible watermark into each video frame. The company also implements red-teaming and additional review processes to prevent the creation of content that violates its content policies. The new video generation features are being rolled out globally and support all languages currently available in Gemini.

Google is expanding its AI video generation capabilities by integrating Veo 2, its most advanced generative video model, into the Gemini app and the experimental Whisk platform. This new functionality allows users to create short, high-resolution videos directly from text prompts, opening up new avenues for creative expression and content creation. Veo 2 is designed to produce realistic motion, natural physics, and visually rich scenes, making it a powerful tool for generating cinematic-quality content.
Currently, access to Veo 2 is primarily available to Google One AI Premium subscribers, who can generate eight-second, 720p videos in MP4 format within Gemini Advanced. The Whisk platform also incorporates Veo 2 through its "Whisk Animate" feature, enabling users to transform uploaded images into animated video clips. Google emphasizes that more detailed and descriptive text prompts generally yield better results, allowing users to fine-tune their creations and explore a wide range of styles, from realistic nature scenes to stylized and surreal sequences. To ensure responsible AI development, Google is implementing several safeguards. All AI-generated videos created with Veo 2 will feature an invisible watermark embedded using SynthID technology, helping to identify them as AI-generated. Additionally, Google is employing red-teaming and review processes to prevent the creation of content that violates its policies. These new video generation features are being rolled out globally and support all languages currently available in Gemini, although standard Gemini users do not have access at this time.

Google DeepMind has announced the pricing for its Veo 2 AI video generation model, making it available through its cloud API platform. The cost is set at $0.50 per second, which translates to $30 per minute or $1,800 per hour. While this may seem expensive, Google DeepMind researcher Jon Barron compared it to the cost of traditional filmmaking, noting that the blockbuster "Avengers: Endgame" cost around $32,000 per second to produce.
Veo 2 aims to create videos with realistic motion and high-quality output, up to 4K resolution, based on simple text prompts. While it's not the cheapest option compared to alternatives like OpenAI's Sora, which costs $200 per month, Google is targeting filmmakers and studios with larger budgets. The primary customers for Veo are filmmakers and studios, who typically have bigger budgets than film hobbyists. They would run Veo throughVertexAI, Google's platform for training and deploying advanced AI models."Veo 2 understands the unique language of cinematography: ask it for a genre, specify a lens, suggest cinematic effects and Veo 2 will deliver," Google says.
