Google has announced the launch of a new photo-to-video capability within its Gemini platform. This feature allows creators and artists to transform their photos into dynamic eight-second video clips with sound. The capability is now available to Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers across the Middle East and North Africa.

In addition, Google revealed the launch of Flow, an AI filmmaking tool designed for its advanced models Veo, Imagen, and Gemini. Flow helps storytellers create cinematic clips and scenes, offering camera controls, scene editing, and asset management features.

To create videos, users select ‘Videos’ in the prompt box, upload a photo, and provide scene and audio instructions. The system then animates the image, bringing drawings, paintings, or nature scenes to life. Users can share or download their creations once complete.

Google reported that over 40 million Veo 3 videos have been generated in just seven weeks via the Gemini app and Flow. All videos include a visible watermark to indicate AI generation and an invisible SynthID digital watermark.

Google Gemini and Flow are accessible through Google AI Pro and Ultra subscriptions for users in the MENA region.
