Forget Sora—Veo 2 in Gemini Makes AI Video Creation Fast and Simple

Google has launched Veo 2, an AI video generator now built into Gemini Advanced, giving subscribers fast, easy video creation in under two minutes—far quicker than OpenAI's Sora.

Available through the Google One AI Premium Plan ($19.99/month), Veo 2 allows users to create 8-second, 720p video clips simply by describing a scene. Unlike Sora, which supports image-to-video, Veo 2 currently works with text-to-video only and is accessible via the Gemini app or web interface.

Key Features:

• Speed: Generates a video in under 2 minutes.

• Quality: Produces 8-second MP4 clips at 720p (vs. Sora’s 10 seconds).

• Ease of Use: Just select Veo 2 in Gemini, type your prompt, and wait.

• Digital Watermark: All videos include SynthID, a frame-level AI-generated watermark.

• Limitations: No celebrity videos or copyrighted content; max ~5 videos/day.

Tips for Best Results:

1. Be Descriptive: Include subject, action, setting, visual style, and camera movement for better output.

2. Review Prompts: With limited daily generations, double-check your input before hitting "create."

3. Download Properly: To save the actual video (not just a link), tap the video and hit the download icon.

Veo 2 is perfect for quickly responding to trending events or creating content on the go—without long wait times or complex tools.
