Google's Gemini AI app now allows paid users to convert photos into short video clips. The feature is available to subscribers of Google AI Ultra and Pro plans in select regions.
Users can create 8-second video clips with sound based on a photo and text description. The videos are generated as MP4 files at 720p resolution in a 16:9 landscape format.
The feature is powered by Veo 3, Google's latest video generation model. The AI tool aims to bring still images to life but may have limitations in accurately representing faces or complex prompts.
Google restricts the creation of videos featuring publicly identifiable figures or encouraging dangerous activities. While the tool excels in animating objects and nature scenes, it may struggle with complex prompts like changing a person's appearance accurately.
