From The Verge: YouTube has added new generative AI video features that creators can use when making Shorts. The video platform announced that Google’s Veo 2 video model is being integrated into YouTube’s experimental Dream Screen feature, alongside allowing users to generate standalone video clips that can be added to Shorts.
Dream Screen was introduced in September 2023 and already generates images and videos for Shorts content based on text descriptions; however, these could only previously be applied as virtual green screen backgrounds.
To access clip generation, Dream Screen users need to open the Shorts camera, open the media picker, and tap the “Create” option at the top. You can then enter a text prompt describing what you want to generate and select your desired style, lens, cinematic effect, and video length.
The feature is rolling out for everyone in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand starting today, with “plans to expand to more of you in the future,” according to YouTube.
