How to use
To start, go to gemini.google.com, tap on the prompt box, and choose the Videos option from the tool menu. Then upload your photo and describe the scene you’d like to create, including any sound effects or audio you’d like to include. Then Gemini will generate an eight-second video based on your image and instructions.
You can animate everyday objects, add life to your drawings, or even turn nature photos into moving landscapes. Once the video is ready, you can either download it or tap the share button to send it to friends and family.
Watermarks for AI-generated videos
Google says it is taking safety seriously when it comes to AI-generated videos. Every video includes a visible watermark showing it’s AI-generated, along with a hidden SynthID digital watermark.
“We take significant steps behind the scenes to make sure video generation is an appropriate experience,” Google explained. “This includes extensive ‘red teaming,’ in which we proactively test our systems and aim to fix potential issues before they arise.”
