Google’s Gemini app has received an update that enhances its video generation capabilities, introducing a variety of templates for users to choose from. This rollout follows the app’s music generation features launched last week, marking a significant expansion in its multimedia offerings. Users can now access the new video templates by navigating to the Tools menu and selecting “Create video,” which presents a grid of Gallery styles with previews. Currently available templates include Civilization, Metallic, Memo, Glam, Crochet, Cyberpunk, Video Game, Cosmos, Action Hero, Stardust, Jellytoon, Racetrack, ASMR Apple, Red Carpet, and Popcorn.
Along with the templates, Gemini allows users to customize their videos by incorporating personal photos or descriptions. This functionality is part of the Ingredients to Video feature, which was updated last month to support native 9:16 aspect ratios, catering to popular video formats on social media platforms. For instance, users can prompt the app with a phrase like “Turn this photo of me into a video,” aiming to simplify the video creation process by minimizing complex prompting.
This update is currently being rolled out to both the web version at gemini.google.com and the mobile applications, with users already reporting access to the features on the web this morning. The upgrade also includes varying limits on video generation based on subscription tiers. For instance, Google AI Plus subscribers can generate up to two videos per day, while Pro and Ultra tier users are allowed three and five videos daily, respectively.
In addition to video generation, the app’s music generation feature, titled Lyria 3, has its own set of usage limits. For free users, the limit is set at 10 tracks per day, while AI Plus subscribers can create 20 tracks daily. The Pro tier allows for 50 tracks per day, and Ultra subscribers can produce up to 100 tracks each day. These tiered limits reflect Google’s strategy to attract a diverse user base, from casual creators to professional content producers.
This multi-faceted approach is indicative of a broader trend in artificial intelligence and digital content creation, where platforms are increasingly integrating various media types into a single interface. By enabling users to easily generate both music and video from a simple prompt, Google is positioning Gemini as a comprehensive tool for creatives looking to produce engaging content without the steep learning curve traditionally associated with such tasks.
As the demand for streamlined content creation tools continues to rise, this update could enhance Gemini’s appeal, particularly among influencers and marketers who prioritize efficiency and creativity in their work. With platforms like Gemini leading the charge, the future of digital content creation looks to be increasingly automated, making it accessible to a wider audience.
