YouTube Shorts and Google Photos have a new ability: converting still images into video. This week, Google unveiled several key updates to YouTube Shorts and Photos that use generative AI. The update gives users on both platforms the ability to turn still photos into short video clips using generative AI, along with adding a handful of other AI-based tools.
Google Gemini already had the ability to create a video from a photo, a feature that has already rolled out earlier this month. But that AI capability is now coming to YouTube Shorts and Google Photos.
