U.S. stocks rise on Fed cut bets; earnings continue to flow
Investing.com -- Google has unveiled Veo 3.1, an upgraded version of its AI filmmaking technology that powers the Flow creative tool, which has generated over 275 million videos since its launch five months ago.
The latest update introduces audio capabilities to existing features including "Ingredients to Video," "Frames to Video," and "Extend," responding to user feedback requesting more artistic control and audio support across all features.
Veo 3.1 delivers richer audio, enhanced narrative control, and improved realism that better captures true-to-life textures. The updated model also offers stronger prompt adherence and improved audiovisual quality when converting images into videos.
With the "Ingredients to Video" feature, users can now utilize multiple reference images to control characters, objects, and style while adding generated audio. The "Frames to Video" function allows creators to provide starting and ending images to generate seamless transitions, while "Extend" enables the creation of longer videos that continue the action from original clips.
Google has also introduced new editing capabilities directly within Flow. The "Insert" feature allows users to add new elements to any scene with natural-looking shadows and lighting. Soon, users will be able to remove unwanted objects or characters, with Flow automatically reconstructing the background.
The Veo 3.1 model is available through the Gemini API for developers, Vertex AI for enterprise customers, and the Gemini app, with new capabilities accessible in both Gemini API and Vertex AI.
