Generate custom video clips in Google Vids with Veo 2

What’s changing

We know creating compelling video can be complex. To address this, Google Vids has released a host of AI-powered features that make it easier to create video. Starting today, we’re excited to build upon this by introducing the ability to generate high-quality, custom video clips directly within Vids using Veo 2.

Whether you need to illustrate a point or want to add visual flair, simply click the “Generate video” icon in the right sidebar of the Vids editor. After typing in your prompt and clicking “Create”, a preview will appear and selecting “Insert” will add the generated content directly into your Vid. 

Powered by Veo 2, this new experience lets you generate realistic motion and diverse styles that supplement content and tell a more powerful story. 

Here are some examples of how you’d use it and sample prompts: 
  • A marketing team can create customized assets for branded storytelling: “A cutting-edge, aerodynamic self-driving car in a sleek, dark metallic finish glides effortlessly along a serpentine coastal highway.” 
  • A learning and development manager can illustrate a safety training module: “Wide angle panning shot of two cell phone tower technicians actively working on top of a cell phone tower in Colorado in a stunning natural landscape” 
  • An educator can visually explain a concept: “Colored dust floating around an airplane wing showing aerodynamics”
