Welcome to your weekly AI update, spotlighting a single tool that could change how you create content.

🎬 Google Veo 2 – Text-to-Video AI Now Available

Google quietly launched Veo 2, a powerful AI video generator that turns text prompts into 720p cinematic video clips—and it's live right now for creators using Gemini Advanced (Google's $20/month plan).

What It Does:

  • Generate 8-second AI videos from text or image prompts

  • Add cinematic camera motion, effects, and lighting

  • Resize your generated video for shortform content

  • Use built-in tools like background removal and aspect ratio conversion

  • Every output is automatically watermarked (SynthID) for transparency

How This Helps You as a Creator:

  • Create scroll-stopping Shorts, Reels, or TikToks

  • Add original B-roll to storytelling or commentary

  • Build entire visual themes for your aesthetic loops (sleep, ambient, etc.)

  • Generate poster-style videos or “visual stories” for drops

  • Speed up your workflow for ideation, thumbnails, or trailer content

Prompt Examples to Try Inside Veo 2:

“Cinematic wide shot of an abandoned space station, blinking lights, fog rolling through”

“Close-up of raindrops falling on neon-lit pavement in Tokyo at night”

“Drone shot of ancient temples emerging from jungle ruins, sunrise glow”

“Low angle view of waves crashing against glowing rocks, sci-fi atmosphere”

How to Access It:

  1. Go to gemini.google.com

  2. Sign up for Gemini Advanced ($20/month, same as ChatGPT Plus)

  3. Use the prompt:

  4. You’ll get access to a prompt builder + instant previews

Final Thoughts:

This is the first real text-to-video model creators can actually use—and it's built by Google, with YouTube-level training data behind it.

If you’ve been waiting for AI-generated video to go public… it just did.

See you for the next update,
