This New AI Video Tool is The Best I've Seen! (Hands on with Veo)

[@HunterTalks]

Veo2 seems an entirely different beast to Sora. Vastly better with the physics from what we're seeing in these early demo's.

It's not as simple as that. These A.I video generators can only make videos that last a few seconds.

[@rainmanana]

​@@budekins542almost every film is shot in a series of many different camera shots that last a few seconds

[@kayeaivideos]

​@@budekins542yes it still requires hard work of editing, connecting each clip together, and making consistent characters. I made a simple, 3.3 minute music video of a merman story using free, 5 sec clips, took me 7 days to finish editing.

It's crazy how a lot of people can't tell some of the AI videos are fake.I seen a AI video of an old asian monk, talking about spiritual stuff,and people were thanking him! Saying thanks for the inspiration.Were in trouble.

[@blackestjake]

Great video Matt! Can’t wait for these video tools to become better and more accessible! Both models seem to have their strengths and weaknesses, but VEO really seems to be a step up from SORA in general!

[@micromedia26]

If you consider that this is still in the early stages of development, the videos are truly impressive. Especially when you take a closer look at some details-did you notice how well the water physics are executed in the first video with the dog in the pool? That’s remarkable! Depicting water with real physical properties is probably one of the toughest challenges for VFX artists to recreate. I’m not talking about the appearance but the animation-how it interacts with objects or other states. That’s really incredible! I assume that by the middle of next year at the latest, we won’t be able to distinguish AI-generated videos from reality anymore. And then, all video platforms will likely be flooded with such content. You’ll really need to be careful about what you believe. Ideally, all such videos should come with a mandatory label (AI Generated).

[@kayeaivideos]

Check out my merman music video, i used free 5- secs hailuo clips on those, the water looks so natural and the movements... hailuo has done that already.

[@kayeaivideos]

I used minimax in my merman music video, look at the water movements. Minimax is far better than veo. Those are just from free 5 secs clips stitched togethr.

[@micromedia26]

@kayeaivideos never heard of that but will have a closer look but to your explonation this tool seems specificly constructed towards Special Effects i guess?

[@kayeaivideos]

@@micromedia26 Minimax isn’t specifically for special effects but has better physics, which makes it great for realistic water movements. I haven’t tried Veo, but I’ve already made good water effects with Minimax, so I think it’s better for that.

[@kayeaivideos]

@@micromedia26 Minimax isn’t specifically focused on special effects, but I’ve found it handles realistic water physics really well. I’ve been able to create smooth, natural water movements that I think are just as good, if not better, than some newer tools like Veo. While Veo is getting a lot of attention right now, Minimax is still great for tasks like this. Just wanted to share my experience with a tool that might not be the latest but still performs really well for specific effects!

[@Nico-iv8fv]

I dream of creating series like The Sopranos or Breaking Bad... all with AI... or making my own documentaries. It's just so incredible.

[@jamesjonnes]

Please create yoga videos which other video generators struggle so much to create.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I feel like the coherency and physical understanding of these models will just steadily improve, so what I'm most anticipating is *length.* I can't wait for the day when we're not limited to 10-seconds-or-less on generations, required to string them together in hopes it keeps temporal consistency across generations. I want to be able to prompt for, say, a 4 to 5 minute clip, minimum (ideally with multiple coherent shots, maybe even multiple scenes).

[@jimlynch9390]

Take a look at today's movies/shows. Often the scenes last far less than a minute with the camera view changing often. if the producers continue that design, then there won't be as much need for very long videos. Coherency is key in that case.

Matt I’ve been watching your videos and really enjoy them. I think the AI tech is mind blowing. The quality of this video is scary good. As the google guy said this tech is the worst we’ll ever have. Given the short attention span people have it really concerns me the potential that is coming to fruition to be able to manipulate masses very easily. Maybe it’s always been there but this new tech is going to make it even easier. Not as pumped about the future as I was. Keep up the good work.

[@iBerry420]

it's incredible where we're at!! 2025 will be a crazy year. You can kind of see how the models "imagine" when it comes to how they place the items prompted in the video.

[@Web-3-World]

I was hoping it was mode advanced than SORA.. I agree it beats SORA but still Minimax is much better in animation things like Hamster, Unicorn or anything non-human.. Here we see VEO2 is just making still frames..

[@artvsmachine]

Great surprise seeing actual tests that aren't cherry-picked and really showcased the AI video agenerators success to failure ratio. Despite the video title, the contents show something pretty good. Not flipping amazing compared to the competition. I prefer reality to hype, so really liked this video.

[@sbowesuk981]

I have been critical of Google's handling of gen AI in the past, but even I'll say they've been hitting it out of the park lately. Looking at Veo2, it completely demolishes Sora in almost every way. Sora has been a giant letdown in so many ways. Very happy to see others swoop in and spank OpenAI because it's what they deserve at this point.

[@Derekse]

Also keep in mind this is V2 and the Sora we have access to is V1 with V2 on the way... Hard to compare the two

[@PeterKoperdan]

Telling the difference in these examples is quite easy - *good quality* real video is high fidelity, meaning lots of detail. AI video can't generate that much detail yet. AI video seems like really well upscaled 720p at best (or even less). If you watch on a small phone screen, it's much harder to notice. But watching on a bigger screen...

[@insurancecasino5790]

Regular video has not gotten to real yet, but this AI model is getting closer to the HDi Video we have now. Still cool.

I got all the others right, but I thought the rhino video was real because of the bouncing donger, I didn't think the AI would add that part.

You can completely tell that these are trained on videos. I know, obvious but is even more obvious that it's just trying to duplicate videos similar it has seen by putting the components together.

Hollywood will be in danger when one of these models is used to fuly generate a feature film that passes the Cinematic Turing Test: was this movie filmed or generated with AI? Also, that film needs to include scenes with humans and dialogue between humans. I'd give that maybe 8 years or so. Till then, this stuff is both cool and useless apart from advertising and maybe an occasional replacement for stock footage for establishing shots.
