I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Google Veo 3 has undergone a significant upgrade, allowing users to generate audio and video with just one image. The platform supports maintaining character consistency across multiple shots and can even replicate science fiction films. User experience shows that the videos generated by Veo 3 are remarkably expressive, enabling static images to "speak." The update also introduces rich camera movement features, allowing users to generate high-quality videos through the Flow platform, but it requires more credits

Just now, the AI video sensation Veo 3 has been upgraded significantly.

This time, you can generate audio + video blockbusters with just one image, and you can experience it on the Google Flow creation platform.

The same character can maintain a high level of consistency across multiple shots. Even for sci-fi films like Star Trek, Veo 3 can replicate them with just one click.

Some netizens even used Veo 3 to shoot a teaser short film for "The Death of Trolls," with sound effects and character consistency that are extremely impressive.

How can you experience the explosive effects of Veo 3?

Images Can Speak

After conducting practical tests, I was amazed by the video generation capabilities of Veo 3.

Iron Man can actually speak now! It's spine-tingling to watch.

The image used this time is as follows, with the prompt "let him talk something."

The generated effect is stunning! Veo 3 produced two versions of the video.

The first one is relatively "serious," resembling the style of Optimus Prime from Transformers.

The second one is more "in line" with Iron Man's own style.

Overall, the consistency between these two videos and the initial image is extremely high, and there are no discordant elements in the camera movements.

This update needs to be done on the Flow platform, selecting the "Frames to Video" option to start generating a video from a single image.

It is important to note that this feature is currently not available at the Gemini Veo 3 entrance.

You can choose the first frame and swap it to set the content you want to generate in the video.

It should also be noted that selecting both the first and last frames cannot use Veo 3; you can only use Veo 2.

It is worth mentioning that this update has added a wealth of camera movement features, such as Dolly in, which refers to the camera moving forward along a track

This is a summary of all the camera movement functions for your reference.

At the same time, we also tested it with Ultraman. This time we only provided images without any text prompts, and Veo3 still performed perfectly in music and animation creation.

Finally, you can generate higher quality videos by selecting a better Quality model, but it will consume more credits.

Quality consumes 5 times that of Fast, with Fast consuming 20 credits and Quality consuming 100 credits.

For more improvements regarding this update, you can check the official update documentation from Google.

User Testing

After the update of Veo 3, users immediately started testing.

Some expressed that the generation of videos with audio from images is a significant breakthrough in the field of AI storytelling, especially with consistent character portrayal.

The expressions of the characters are very natural, and the performances are quite on point.

Recently, the first-person perspective AI video generation has been quite popular, and Veo 3's image-based generation is equally impressive.

A user even uploaded an image generated by Midjourney, then had Veo 3 add voiceover and video footage, instantly creating a unique Chanel advertisement.

Even in the animation field, Veo 3 did not miss out.
