Your smartphone camera roll just became raw material for AI-generated movies. Google’s Gemini can now animate your static photos into eight-second videos complete with sound-no film school required.

Instead of typing out every detail about the objects you want in a video, the new tool lets you upload a photo and just add instructions for how you want them to move.

Google just launched a new Gemini AI feature that lets you transform photos into video clips. The new photo-to-video capability is powered by Google’s Veo 3 video model, and it can transform reference images into eight-second videos complete with AI-generated audio, including background noises, environmental sounds, and speech.
