Veo 3: Google's Next-Gen AI Video Tool Launches On Gemini Across Middle East
Now paying Gemini users across the Middle East can use Veo 3, Google's next-generation AI-powered video creation tool that transforms simple text prompts into rich, cinematic video clips complete with sound, music, dialogue and more. Announced during Google I/O, the tech giant's annual developer event in May, Veo 3 stands out for its native audio generation, covering everything from voiceovers to background noise, which puts it in direct competition with rivals like OpenAI's Sora. Users can describe any scene they imagine in a short prompt, and the AI will generate a 720p, eight-second video featuring synchronised audio and visuals that include ambient sound, character dialogue, and even realistic sound effects. Unveiled at Google I/O in May, 'From prompt to production, Veo 3 delivers best-in-class realism, physics, and lip syncing,' said Eli Collins, VP of Product at Google DeepMind. Whether it's a dreamlike short film or a viral meme, Veo 3 is already making waves online. Unlike other models, 'Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing,' said Eli Collins, VP of Product at Google DeepMind, in a blog post highlighting the model's strengths in realism, responsiveness, and user control. All videos generated by Veo 3 come with a hidden SynthID watermark, Google's digital signature to label AI-generated content. The company is also testing a SynthID Detector tool to help identify synthetic media. Additionally, all Veo-generated clips – except those made by Ultra-tier members using Google's new Flow filmmaking platform – will carry a visible watermark for transparency. Since its release elsewhere in the world, creators have flocked to platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where Veo 3 has been used to generate everything from animated short films to viral meme content – including a surreal clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti.

Now available to paying users of Gemini, Veo 3 allows people to generate cinematic video clips from simple text prompts, complete with synchronized sound, music, dialogue, and realistic visuals. Veo 3: From Prompt to Production Initially unveiled at Google I/O 2024, the company's annual developer conference in May, Veo 3 has quickly drawn attention for its high realism, advanced physics simulation, and precise lip-syncing capabilities. 'From prompt to production, Veo 3 delivers best-in-class realism, physics, and lip syncing,' said Eli Collins, Vice President of Product at Google DeepMind, during the launch event at Google I/O. Users can input a short description of a scene, such as "a foggy street in old Tokyo with neon lights and light rain," and Veo 3 responds by generating an eight-second, 720p video that integrates ambient sound, spoken dialogue, realistic effects, and visual elements that closely mirror the input description. According to Collins, Veo 3 not only performs standard text-to-video generation, but also supports image prompting and introduces a new benchmark in responsive AI video design. He wrote in a blog post: 'Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing,' highlighting its strengths in realism, responsiveness, and user control. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Android tablet - brz, lagan, savršen za sve potrebe!

What sets Veo 3 apart is the combination of multi-modal generation (text, image, sound) and its physics-aware rendering, making it capable of crafting scenes that feel lifelike and cinematic, whether it's for a dreamlike short film, a product concept, or even a viral meme. One example that gained popularity on social media involved a surreal AI-generated clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti, which drew attention across platforms like X (formerly Twitter).

In addition to the hidden watermark, Veo-generated videos, except those created by Ultra-tier members using Google's new Flow filmmaking platform, will also carry a visible watermark to clearly indicate that the video was AI-generated. Google is also testing a SynthID Detector tool to help individuals and platforms identify synthetic media with greater ease. Expanding Global Access Having made its debut in other markets earlier this year, Veo 3's launch in the Middle East opens the door for regional creators, filmmakers, marketers, and digital storytellers to explore high-end AI video creation without the need for traditional equipment or editing tools. The rollout is part of Google's broader strategy to integrate generative AI into everyday creative workflows, especially through its Gemini platform, which continues to gain traction among professionals and hobbyists alike.

Google Veo 3 video generation model now available in India
Veo 3, Google's latest generative AI video tool, is now available in India. The video generation tool was teased at the Google I/O a few weeks ago. At present, Veo 3 will be only available to users with a Gemini 'pro' subscription. The Veo 3 model lets you create eight-second clips with audio, where you can generate and synthesise speech and enhance scenes with background music and sound effects to add more realism to the clips. 'From reimagining historical events through the eyes of a modern influencer to exploring what it would sound like to cut through a glass apple, to quite a few sightings of the mythical Bigfoot, your imagination is the limit when you create photos and videos on Gemini. These amazing creations are why we on the Veo 3 team do what we do — and why we're making Veo 3 available to more people around the world,' said Google describing the video model's capabilities. Google revealed Veo 3, their latest advancement in AI video production, during its annual developer conference on May 20. In addition to producing visually attractive and cinematic videos, this model also incorporates realistic audio, such as spoken conversation, sound effects, and background music, making the videos seem real. All the videos generated using Veo 3 from photos will have a visible watermark and are embedded with an invisible SynthID watermark. These additions to the output indicate that the contents are made using AI. Meanwhile, Google has also asserted its commitment to safe and responsible use of AI. The company said that it continues to take important steps to ensure video generation is safe. Google is ensuring this by the means of extensive red teaming and evaluations of its AI models. After Veo 3 was introduced at Google I/O, several X users had shared their creations using the model. The AI tool was hailed as Google's answer to OpenAI's Sora. Following the teaser, Eli Collins, Google's DeepMind product vice president, said that Veo 3 excels from text and image prompting to real-world physics and accurate lip syncing.
