Gemini Advanced users can now generate and share videos using Google’s state-of-the-art video model, Veo 2.

In a blog post, Angela Sun, director of Multimodal Platforms, Gemini App, and Olivia Sturman, product manager, Google Labs, revealed that in Gemini, you can now translate text-based prompts into dynamic videos.

Techeconomy gathered Google Labs is also making Veo 2 available through Whisk, a generative AI experiment that allows you to create new images using both text and image prompts, and now animate them into videos.

How to use Gemini to create videos

Veo 2 represents a leap forward in video generation, designed to produce high-resolution, detailed videos with cinematic realism.

By better understanding real-world physics and human motion, it delivers fluid character movement, lifelike scenes and finer visual details across diverse subjects and styles.

To generate videos, select Veo 2 from the model dropdown ¹ in Gemini. This feature creates an eight-second video clip at 720p resolution, delivered as an MP4 file in a 16:9 landscape format. There is a monthly limit on how many videos you can create, but we will notify you as you approach it.

Creating videos with Gemini is simple: just describe the scene you want to create — whether it’s a short story, a visual concept, or a specific scene — and Gemini will bring your ideas to life. The more detailed your description, the more control you have over the final video.

This opens up a world of fun creative possibilities, letting your imagination go wild to picture unreal combinations, explore varied visual styles from realism to fantasy, or quickly narrate short visual ideas.

One of the best parts of creating is sharing with others. Sharing your video on mobile is easy: simply tap the share button to quickly upload engaging short videos to platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

How Whisk Animate brings your images to life

Introduced in December, Whisk is a Google Labs experiment that helps you quickly explore and visualize new ideas using both text and image prompts. Today, you can animate your creations with Whisk Animate.

Whisk Animate lets you turn your images into vivid eight-second videos using Veo 2. It’s available for Google One AI Premium subscribers globally starting today.
