Youtube reported On Wednesday, it will give the shorts creator access to new generative AI features, including the photo-video-AI tool and new AI effects.
The image of the video feature gives users the opportunity to turn the image of the camera roll into AA’s six -second video. Users can choose one of two invoices: “subtle movements” or “I think luck”. YouTube says that the feature can be used to increase the movement of landscape photos, animimates pictures of daily photos, or evoke group pictures to life.
In an example given by YouTube, the feature transforms the static image from a pedestrian signal to a short video that slowly zooms into the dance version of the Walking Man symbol.
The feature works the same way as Offers already available In twins. In addition, it is similar to the ‘animation’ of Meta’s Ediits, which also uses AI to convert static images into videos.
A new tool will be ongoing over the next week in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. YouTube plans to bring it to several areas later this year. It is worth noting that Google Photos also gets a similar picture of the video tool.
With regard to new AI effects, creators can use them to turn the logs into artistic images and change selfies videos where they swim underwater, double with someone and much more. Users can find these new effects by navigating the shorts camera into the “effect” icon and then tap the “AI” movie to browse all the generative effects.
YouTube notes that the features announced today will get Veo 2, Google AI to create videos. YouTube says it is using Synth watermarks and clear labels shows that these creations were created by AI.
