Create high-definition and detailed videos.
Mimic real-world physics for smooth and realistic motion.
Capture a wide variety of visual and cinematic styles.
Create eight-second video clips in a 16:9 landscape orientation at 720p resolution.

Who Can Use Veo 2?
As of now, video creation using Veo 2 is accessible to Google One AI Premium subscribers via Gemini Advanced on web and mobile in all languages supported by Gemini.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Videos with Veo 2 in Gemini:
Access Gemini Advanced: Make sure you are a Google One AI Premium subscriber and open either the Gemini web app (gemini.google.com) or the Gemini mobile app.
Choose Veo 2: In the Gemini interface, search for a model dropdown menu, usually found in the top left corner. Choose "Veo 2" from the list of options. This informs Gemini that you prefer to utilize the video generation feature.
Enter Your Text Prompt: In the prompt box, write out the video scene you wish to have created. The more descriptive and detailed your prompt, the clearer Veo 2 will understand your vision and create a video that meets your expectations. It is helpful to include information on
Subject: What are the principal objects, characters, or elements in the scene? (e.g., a cute fluffy cat, a futuristic city landscape, a dripping ice cream)
Action: What's going on in the scene? (e.g., running through a field, flying through the air, two robots dancing)
Setting: Where is the scene located? (e.g., a snowy mountaintop, a busy market, an underwater cave)
Camera Angle and Movement: Identify the type of shot (e.g., close-up, wide shot, aerial) and any movement of the camera (e.g., panning, zooming, tracking).
Lighting and Mood: State the lighting conditions (e.g., golden hour, creepy twilight, harsh sunlight) and the mood you wish to create (e.g., peaceful, thrilling, enigmatic).
Artistic Style (Optional): If you have a particular visual style in mind, you can add it to your prompt (e.g., anime style, watercolor painting, cinematic realism).
Create the Video: After you've inserted your prompt, tell Gemini to create the video. This could be a button that says "Generate," "Create," or something similar.
Review and Share: Within a short processing interval, Gemini will produce an eight-second video snippet. You will be able to review the video. If satisfied with the outcome, you will be able to share it with other platforms such as TikTok and YouTube Shorts using the share button. Additionally, you have the choice to download the video in the format of an MP4 file.
Prompt Examples and Possible Outputs:
Prompt: "A cartooning shot of a small mouse in huge glasses reading a book lit by the gentle glow of a glowing mushroom inside a snug woodland burrow."
Potential Output: A delightful and imaginative film of a small bespectacled mouse reading a book, lit by the warm light of a glowing mushroom inside a snug woodlands den.
