Google Vids adds Veo 3.1 for 8-second AI videos
Google Vids is rolling out new AI tools to make video creation a breeze.
The star feature Veo 3.1 lets you turn simple text prompts or images into short video clips (no fancy gear or editing skills needed).
Free users can make up to 10 videos a month, each about eight seconds long, making it easy to create quick content on the go.
Avatar customization Lyria 3 screen recorder
You can now customize your avatars with more detail and even tweak their backgrounds while keeping their voice and identity consistent across scenes.
Paid users get access to Lyria 3 for generating AI-powered music in different lengths.
Plus, there's a handy Chrome extension that lets you record your screen instantly (perfect for tutorials or presentations) and upload straight to YouTube (set as private by default).
Overall, these updates are all about making creative tools more accessible and fun for everyone.
