Gemini Can Now Turn Your Photos Into Video With Veo 3

Google is rolling out photo-to-video generation in its Gemini app today, allowing paid subscribers to upload images and transform them into short AI videos using the company's Veo 3 model. The feature requires a subscription to Google's AI Pro plan at $20 per month for three daily video generations, or the $250 AI Ultra plan for five daily videos.

Videos are limited to 720p resolution and eight seconds in length, taking several minutes to generate due to computational requirements.

and this is a good thing because...?

We need even more AI slop? It's practically overwhelming already.

Because you don't have enough subscriptions. Google needs another $20 - $250/mo.

You should be thankful they've provided you with the best, most beautiful toys in the world.

thats nonsense when they say that. there modern that can run on locally hat are free and work nearly as well. sure your pc wont generate in seconds but it will get the job done.

$20 for three, $250 for five

Crazy pricing scheme Is it $3125 for seven? Why not just use two $20 accounts to get six per month for $40?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but presumably the second plan offers more than just 40% more videos per day. :-D

Price of fraud is going down

[Big Hairy Gorilla]

Grandma! I'm in trouble. Send money!

Why?

[registrations_suck]

Why would I want to turn a real picture into a fake video?

I'm confused.

Re: Why?

[Big Hairy Gorilla]

I'll take a shot... grandpa... actually I'm a bit confused too, because we aren't any target market for this.

I could see TikTokkers playing around with this just for shits n giggles... generate mini advertisements .... adolescent pranks also come to mind, blackmail too, now that I think about it. Decent tool for fraud, too, yep. I think it'll get some buzz.

Re:

[registrations_suck]

I didn't ask about dumbass tic tok users. I asked why *I* would want to.

As for being a grandpa....my child is only 9 years old. I don't think he has impregnated anyone yet.

Re:

don't get your knickers in a knot... dummies everywhere will probably be using it is all I'm saying

dont pay that

[luther349]

dont pay those prices stuff like wen 2.1 and famegen can be ran locally and are nearly as good.

Gemini Not Needed

[Farley1]

Paying $250 for a 8 second video? Are you nuts? You can already do this locally on your computer for FREE, and as many times as you want. Even if you don't have the GPU power, you can still rent a powerful GPU to do the work for you, which is far cheaper than what Google charges.

Even better than that...

[kmoser]

I have an app that can instantly convert a video to hundreds of still images!
