In the web version of Sora 2, Pro subscribers now have access to storyboards. All users can create videos up to 15 seconds on the app and website, while premium subscribers can make videos up to 25 seconds on the web.

Veo is getting a major upgrade. 🚀

Google has introduced Veo 3.1 with enhanced audio, more precise editing tools, and improved video generation quality from images. The neural network retains the functionality of Veo 3 but offers more realistic imagery and executes prompts more accurately. It has been added to the video editor Flow.

Users can now seamlessly add new objects to clips. Soon, there will be an option to remove existing items directly in Flow.

Previously, Veo 3 included features for adding reference images for character control, generating videos from the first and last frames, and continuing an existing clip based on the last frames. The new version adds sound to all capabilities, making clips more “alive.”

Back in September, Google introduced an affordable Google AI Plus plan in over 40 countries, including Ukraine, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, and others.
