Imagine describing a scene in a sentence and watching it turn into a high-quality video, without any camera, crew, or professional editing skills. That’s the kind of future Google is aiming for with its latest AI video generator – Veo, which is now available for free to all users. Although ChatGPT took the lead in image generation with the recent Ghibli-style trend, Google is now making a comeback by making AI video generation accessible to all. In this guide, let’s see how you can generate videos from a text prompt by using Google Veo.

Google Veo: Free AI Video Generator

Veo was announced back in May 2024, where Google claimed it to be its most advanced AI-powered media generation tool. However, it was only available to select developers under a preview program. The company has finally made it available to all users globally via the Google AI Studio. You can now access it for free and create high-quality videos by describing the scene in a text promo.

Currently, Veo can generate videos with a maximum duration of 8 seconds at a 720p 24fps resolution. It supports landscape (16:9) and portrait (9:16) orientations. The only downside of Veo is that it can only generate muted video, so you won’t get any sound in the final result.

Create AI Video For Free Using Google Veo

You can use Veo AI-video generator for free by signing in to Google AI Studio using your Google account. While you can access it on both desktop and smartphone, we recommend trying this on a computer for the best experience.

1. Open aistudio.google.com in any web browser and head over to the Video Gen section.

2. Ensure that Veo 2 is selected in the right-hand side menu.

3. Describe your video in detail by using a text prompt.

4. You can also add an image and ask Veo to use it as a reference for your video. Submit your prompt.

5. Veo can take 1-2 minutes to process your request. Once the video is generated, you can view it and download it on your device.

OpenAI Sora vs Google Veo: Which is the better AI video generator?

OpenAI’s Sora was announced in February 2024, and it was said to be the most advanced AI video generator with realistic details. However, the public rollout took longer than expected, and Sora is only available to paid subscribers of ChatGPT in select countries. Simply put, you cannot create videos in the free version of ChatGPT. Hence, Veo is already better as it is available for free.

In terms of video quality, Sora supports output at 1080p resolution with a maximum duration of up to 20 seconds. OpenAI has a massive advantage as it lets you create longer videos. Since we are in the early days of Veo, we can expect its limit to be increased gradually.

Google is known to introduce new and experimental tools in its AI Studio first, and these get rolled out to Gemini later. As of now, the company has not shared any timeline on Veo’s availability in Gemini.

Wrapping Up

Google is finally stepping up its AI-powered media generation with Veo. Since the tool is only available in the AI Studio, not many people might be aware of it, and hence, this may not make a strong buzz as we saw with the wildfire spread of ChatGPT’s image prowess. Now that you know about Veo, you can use this free tool to create AI videos and surprise your friends.
