Google has expanded access to Veo 3, its most advanced generative-video model, to all Gemini AI Pro subscribers in more than 159 countries. Until now the tool had been restricted to the $249.99-a-month AI Ultra tier; Pro users pay $19.99. Veo 3 produces eight-second, 720p clips complete with speech, music and sound effects, but each account is limited to three generations a day. On 10 July the company introduced an image-to-video capability within the Gemini app and the Flow filmmaking tool. The new feature lets subscribers upload a still photo and receive an animated eight-second clip, with optional ambient sound or dialogue specified in the prompt. The update is rolling out first on the web and is expected to reach mobile users by the end of the week. Google says creators have generated more than 40 million Veo 3 videos in the seven weeks since the model debuted at I/O in May. All outputs carry a visible “Veo” watermark and an invisible SynthID tag, and the company says it is conducting “extensive red-teaming” and other safeguards to curb misuse as competition intensifies in the AI video market.
