OpenAI has been the pioneer in the AI field and it is surely up to no doubt the important role the company plays in the AI market. Soon after the advent of AI tools was made public, tech giants like Meta, Google & Microsoft all jumped in on the new buzz around the heightened AI tech, which was no longer just a sci-fi fantasy.
One of the most recent and significant jumps in this AI tech race went into the hands of none other than Google. They announced their video generation tool, VideoFX, which now falls in direct competition against OpenAI’s SORA.
So, let’s dive into Google VideoFX Powered by Veo. Sir Demis Hassabis, the brains behind Google DeepMind, recently unveiled Veo as their most advanced generative video model yet. This powerhouse tool is designed to empower users to create stunning, high-quality videos, reaching resolutions of up to 1080p. What’s even more impressive is that Veo can work its magic using simple text prompts, images, or even existing videos as inputs. With Veo in your toolkit, the possibilities for dynamic and engaging video content are endless.
In the words of the official blog post by Google, Veo “enables you to create content that captures emotional nuance across visual styles and produces striking cinematic effects,”
While SORA has been limited to select developers and users behind closed doors, Google is taking a different approach with Veo. They’re inviting users to sign up for a waitlist to get their hands on Veo, which will be accessible through VideoFX, Google’s new experimental tool, initially launching in the U.S. If you’re interested, you can join the VideoFX waitlist by following this link.
At Google I/O 2024, the company offered a sneak peek at the VideoFX tool, showcasing its capability to transform text prompts into videos. With VideoFX, users can input a text prompt on the left and witness the generated video on the right, with the option to extend it for up to 60 seconds. Additionally, this experimental tool features a Storyboard mode, allowing users to iterate through scenes and add music, facilitating the step-by-step creation of final videos.
