Google hosted its annual event, dubbed Google I/O, on 19 May, introducing and announcing several enhanced and powerful features and tools that change how we perceive AI, New Apps, and many other interesting things. The tech giant revealed the next evolution in its AI video technology and that is Veo 3. It is a powerful model that now brings sound into the mix. The tool is built upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, Veo 2, the latest version introduces audio generation as a key feature.
What is Veo 3:
Veo 3 is a new video tool that produces realistic background noises, sound effects, and even spoken dialogue in sync with the visuals it creates. This new development by Google marks a major leap forward for the AI-generated videos where both image and sound plays an important role and are created in harmony.
Veo 3 Availability:
Veo 3 will be rolled out starting Tuesday for users in the United States via its Gemini app. However, there is a catch and hence it is exclusively available to users who have subscribed to the 249.99-per-month AI Ultra plan. Other than available via Gemini, Veo 3 will also be integrated into the Google’s Vortex AI platform. This platform is designed for enterprise customers.
How to Use Veo 3:
You just have to prompt the AI with either text descriptions or images and the model will respond with full video clips and complete with audio elements.
Veo 3 Features:
Veo 3 is designed in such a way that it doesn’t only offer sound, it also delivers noticeable improvements in video quality over Veo 2. These improvements can be seen especially in areas like visual realism, motion, and lip-sync accuracy.
There are several features available in Veo 3, whether its replicating the ambient sounds or even rendering a believable conversation between on-screen characters, the Veo 3 model exhibits a stronger understanding of natural settings and storytelling.
Additionally, the tool also responds to the longer and more complex prompts. It also generates clips that are following a structured sequence of events. It give creators more narrative flexibility than ever before.

Continued Development of Veo 2 Features
Alongside the launch of the Veo 3, the company also added some new features and updated Veo 2 based on the feedback from professional filmmakers and creators. Among the latest capabilities are reference-based video generation, Camera movement controls, outpainting, addition or removal of objects, and more. These tools further solidify Google’s video AI ecosystem as a comprehensive suite for creative professionals.
OneAI’s Sora vs Google’s Veo 3:
Veo 3 is giving tough competition to OpenAI’s Sora that made waves in the AI video space. However, as per Google, Veo 3 positions itself with a major advantage due to its built-in audio generation feature. This feature gives Google’s model an edge when it comes to creating immersive and complete video package experience.
According to Matthieu Lorrain, creative lead at Google DeepMind, Veo 3 is not only easier to prompt than previous versions, but it’s also more adept at interpreting longer scripts and chaining multiple events together fluidly within a clip.
