YouTube announced On Wednesday that it gives creators of shorts access to new AI genetic characteristics, including an AI-Video AI tool and new AI results.
Video image capability allows users to turn an image from their camera into a six -second video. Users will see a selection of suggestions related to the load they load. YouTube says the feature can be used to add move to landscape photos, bring to life everyday photos, or bring the team photos to life.
In an example given by YouTube, the feature turns a static image of a pedestrian signal into a short video that slowly zoom in a dance version of the Walking Man Symbol.
The feature works similarly with a Offer already available In the twin. In addition, it is similar to the animate tool in the Meta Edits application, which also uses AI to convert static images into video.
The new tool is released next week in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. YouTube plans to bring it to more areas later this year. It is worth noting that Google Photos also gets a similar video tool to video.
As for the new AI effects, creators can use them to turn their doodles into artistic images and turn themselves into videos where they swim underwater, twin with someone and many more. Users can find these new effects by navigating the “Effect” icon on camera shorts and then pressing “AI” to browse all genetic results.
YouTube notes that the features announced today are fed by VEO 2, Google’s AI model for video production. YouTube says he is using Synthetic watercolors and clean labels To indicate that these creations were created with AI.
