Gemini app rolling out Veo 3 photo-to-video generation

After bringing Veo 3 to subscribers around the world last week, Google is now rolling out photo-to-video generation in the Gemini app. 

Photo-to-video lets you transform still images into Veo 3’s eight-second video clips with sound. 

Upon selecting the “Videos” chip in Gemini’s prompt box, you can now upload a photo. Like before, describe the scene and audio (like dialogue, sound effects, and ambient noise): “You can get creative by animating everyday objects, bringing your drawings and paintings to life or adding movement to nature scenes.”

The MP4 file (720p, 16:9 landscape) can be downloaded and shared.

This is rolling out starting today for Google AI Pro ($19.99 per month) and AI Ultra ($249.99/month) subscribers around the world. Photo-to-video is coming first to gemini.google.com, with support in the mobile Gemini app following soon after.

On the safety front, videos are watermarked “Veo” in the bottom-right corner, while there’s also an invisible SynthID digital watermark. You can provide feedback with the thumbs up/down buttons. 

This includes extensive “red teaming,” in which we proactively test our systems and aim to fix potential issues before they arise. We also conduct thorough evaluations to understand how our tools might be used and how to prevent any misuse. Alongside this, we’re constantly developing and enforcing our policies against unsafe content.

Google shared today how over 40 million Veo 3 videos have been generated in the Gemini app and Flow filmmaking tool (which already supports photo-to-video) over the last seven weeks.
