YouTube Update: New Creative Tools For Video Creation
The new features are part of a larger effort to make video creation more accessible and fun, while also ensuring responsible use of AI-generated content. With the introduction of these tools, users can expect to see more creative and engaging content on YouTube Shorts and Google Photos.
Google Photos and YouTube Shorts have introduced new creative tools that enable users to transform their photos into videos and remix them into different styles, making video creation easier and more fun.
The new features, Photo to video and Remix, allow users to animate their photos with subtle movements or transform them into anime, comics, sketches, or 3D animations. The Photo to video feature enables users to create short videos from their photos, while Remix changes pictures into various styles in seconds. These features are available in a new "Create" tab in the Photos app, which also includes other creative tools.
YouTube Shorts is also introducing new creation tools, including photo to video, generative effects, and AI playground, which are powered by Veo 2 technology. These tools will be available to all users in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with more regions coming later this year. The features are designed to make creating on YouTube Shorts more accessible and fun, while still allowing users to showcase their unique creativity.
To prevent misuse, generated videos will feature a clear watermark and a SynthID digital watermark. The "Create" tab will also include other AI tools, such as video editing, which will be available soon. Google has taken safety precautions, including extensive moderation, to ensure responsible use of the AI-generated content.
With these new creative tools, users can expect a more engaging and interactive experience on YouTube Shorts and Google Photos, allowing them to express their creativity and bring their photos to life in new and exciting ways.
