If you can't beat them, join them! In the face of fierce competition from TikTok and Instagram short videos, YouTube has announced a comprehensive upgrade to its AI short video creation features, providing creators with more convenient and innovative tools that allow them to easily generate and edit YouTube Shorts using artificial intelligence, even transforming narration into popular music. This series of collaborations with Google DeepMind has launched the VeO 3 Fast artificial intelligence model, bringing a new creation experience to millions of creators.
Google DeepMind Video Generation Tool VeO 3 Fast Debuts
Among the new features released by YouTube, the highlight is the video generation tool Veo 3 Fast model developed in collaboration with Google DeepMind. This video generation model, tailored specifically for YouTube Shorts, can output at 480p with low latency without the need for professional equipment, easily transforming any idea into a short video. The biggest highlight of Veo 3 Fast is that it has achieved sound functionality for the first time, allowing creators to produce exciting short videos with sound effects using just their mobile phones.
Currently, Veo 3 has launched in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with plans to rapidly expand to more regions in the future. Users just need to click the 'Create' button and then click the flashing icon in the upper right corner to quickly access the new AI creation tools, including Veo 3, and start their creative journey.
This upgrade will further enhance YouTube's competitiveness in the short video creation field, providing more creative tools that allow users not only to easily create short videos but also to experience unprecedented creative freedom.
Making creation easier and more fun
In addition to Vero 3, YouTube has launched more creative features in Shorts that allow creators to produce videos with artistic styles. Creators will be able to apply actions from other videos, bringing photos to life or adding new styles to videos, such as transforming them into pop art styles. Users can also add new objects (such as characters, props, or effects) to videos through simple text descriptions, adding infinite possibilities to their creations. These new features will begin trial in Shorts over the next few months.
AI Editing Feature: Easily Create Drafts
For many creators, making a video from scratch is often a laborious task. YouTube has launched the AI editing feature to help users easily create video drafts. This feature automatically analyzes the original material, selects the best moments, and adds music, transition effects, and voiceovers to generate an engaging initial version. Users only need to personalize modifications on this basis to quickly complete video creation. The AI editing feature is currently being tested in Shorts and the YouTube Create app and will expand to more markets in the coming weeks.
Voice to Song: Turn Daily Videos into Pop Music
YouTube has introduced an innovative voice-to-song feature that allows creators to convert eligible video dialogues or unique voices into catchy soundtracks, adding new fun to short videos. This feature utilizes Google DeepMind's Lyria 2 AI music model to transform dialogues from original videos into melodious songs, and supports adding different atmospheres (such as relaxing, dance, etc.) to the songs. The final generated music works will retain the original creator's name and clearly indicate that it is AI-generated.
AI Creation Watermark Identification
Among the new features announced by YouTube, there is a strong emphasis on transparency regarding content, as all AI-generated works will be marked with SynthID watermarks and content labels, allowing viewers to clearly identify that these contents are created by AI.
