YouTube announced that it is rolling out Veo 2, Google DeepMind's latest video generation model

YouTube announced that it is rolling out Veo 2, Google DeepMind's latest video generation model, into its Shorts platform — allowing creators to generate custom video clips and backgrounds directly from text descriptions.

Creators can generate video clips or dynamic backgrounds for Shorts with text prompts and can specify styles, camera effects, and cinematic looks.
The update enhances the existing Dream Screen feature with faster generation times and improved physics for more realistic movement and scenes.
All AI-generated content will include Google’s SynthID watermarks and clear labeling to maintain transparency about artificial content.
The feature is launching first in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand through the Shorts camera interface.
This update injects state-of-the-art AI video directly into the workflows of content creators across YouTube, taking a giant leap from just backgrounds to full clips and scenes. While this unlocks new creative possibilities, it will likely blur the already fuzzy lines between real and AI content even further.
