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.
