YouTube's brand new feature combines generative AI to help creators edit Shorts, and can also turn narration into pop music.

If you can't beat them, join them! In the face of fierce competition from TikTok and Instagram shorts, YouTube has announced a comprehensive upgrade to its AI short video creation features, providing creators with more convenient and innovative tools that allow them to easily generate and edit YouTube Shorts using artificial intelligence, and even convert voiceovers into popular music. This series of VeO 3 Fast AI models launched in collaboration with Google DeepMind will bring new creative experiences to millions of creators.

Google DeepMind video generation tool VeO 3 Fast debuts

Among the new features released by YouTube, the most notable is the video generation tool Veo 3 Fast model developed in collaboration with Google DeepMind. This video generation model is tailor-made for YouTube Shorts, allowing you to easily transform any idea into a short film at 480p resolution with low latency, without the need for professional equipment. The biggest highlight of Veo 3 Fast is that it introduces sound functionality for the first time, enabling creators to produce exciting short films with sound effects using just their mobile phones.

Currently, Veo 3 has been launched in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, with plans to rapidly expand to more regions in the future. Users only need to click the "Create" button and then click the flashing icon in the upper right corner to quickly access the new AI creation tools, including Veo 3, and start their creative journey.

This upgrade will further enhance YouTube's competitiveness in the short video creation sector, providing more creative tools that allow users not only to easily create short videos but also to experience unprecedented creative freedom.

Make creation easier and more fun

In addition to Vero 3, YouTube has launched more creative features in Shorts, allowing creators to produce videos with artistic styles. Creators will be able to apply actions from other videos, bringing photos to life or adding new styles to videos, such as transforming into pop art styles. Users can also add new objects (such as characters, props, or effects) to videos through simple text descriptions, adding infinite possibilities to their creations. These new features will begin to be trialed in Shorts over the next few months.

AI Editing Feature: easy to create drafts

For many creators, making videos from scratch can often be a daunting task. YouTube has launched an AI editing feature to help users easily create a draft of their videos. This feature automatically analyzes the raw footage, selects the best moments, and adds music, transitions, and voiceovers to generate an engaging preliminary version. Users only need to make personalized modifications based on this to quickly complete their video creation. The AI editing feature is currently being tested in Shorts and the YouTube Create app, and will expand to more markets in the coming weeks.

Voice to Song: Turn Daily Videos into Pop Music

YouTube has launched an innovative voice-to-song feature that allows creators to convert qualifying video voiceovers or unique sounds into catchy soundtracks, adding new fun to short videos. This feature utilizes Google DeepMind's Lyria 2 AI music model to transform dialogues in the original videos into beautiful songs, supporting the addition of different atmospheres to the songs (such as easy, dance, etc.). The final generated music piece will retain the original creator's name and clearly indicate that it was generated by AI.

AI creation watermark identification

In the new features announced by YouTube, there is an emphasis on transparency regarding content. All AI-generated works will be marked with SynthID watermarks and content labels, allowing viewers to clearly identify that these contents are created by AI.
