Google introduced Sparkify — short video generator based on Gemini and Veo

Google presented a new product at the intersection of artificial intelligence and creative technologies! Sparkify is a generator of short videos lasting a couple of minutes, created in the format of engaging stories. The uniqueness of the project lies in distributing creative tasks between 2 powerful artificial intelligence systems. Gemini is responsible for developing storylines and textual content, while Veo handles creating animation, sound accompaniment and musical design.

At the same time, Google warns that generative artificial intelligence Sparkify is an experimental technology that may demonstrate inaccurate or even offensive content that doesn’t reflect the company’s own views. But these are all minor details. Look at the picture quality level. At the character dynamics. I really like the quality level. Sparkify – this could really become a new level for creating short video content, making the production process accessible to ordinary users without special skills in video editing, scriptwriting or musical composition.

The product is already available for pre-registration through whitelist on the official sparkify website. Link in description. Google invites users, I quote “to embark on a journey of curiosity”. On the website you can already watch dozens of short videos created with this very interesting Sparkify short video generator.
