Artificial Intelligence Supported Video Production is coming to Youtube Shorts

Youtube has started to use new artificial intelligence (AI) -based video production tools for content producers. The company has integrated Google’s newest video model Veo 2 into Dream Screen to support the creative processes of users who create content in Shorts format. This feature, which has previously created virtual backgrounds with text descriptions, has now gained the ability to produce independent video clips. Users will be able to create original video content in a short time with their specified text inputs.

Dream Screen, announced in September 2023, was able to produce only virtual green screen backgrounds in the first stage. However, with Youtube’s new update, users will be able to use video clips directly created by artificial intelligence. This feature was developed to enable content producers to prepare more creative and impressive content in a short time. The video creation process is designed in a very simple way. Users can use the media selector by opening the Shorts camera and click on the “Create” option in the top section and produce clips based on their text description. In this process, options such as style, lens, cinematic effects and video lengths offered by artificial intelligence can also be personalized.

This innovation is currently presented to users in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. However, Youtube says that this feature will spread to a wider audience in the coming period. The company predicts that new video production tools provide significant convenience to content producers and thus will increase the visual diversity on the platform. Particularly considering the rapid increase in the popularity of short video format, youtube’s investment in artificial intelligence -supported production processes can be considered as a remarkable move. However, the ethical limits of the content produced with artificial intelligence and the possible misinformation risks are among the issues that should not be ignored.

Video quality is increasing with YouTube Veo 2 integration

Google’s Veo 2 model is still under early access and is tested through a waiting list before it is available. By integrating this model into YouTube’s Dream Screen feature, the visuality of the videos created is significantly improved. The new system of artificial intelligence supports more natural and fluid content compared to previous models by correctly reflecting more realistic human movements and physical interactions. Users will now be able to create videos with more dynamic and stage content instead of static backgrounds.

Youtube has added an important security measures to increase the transparency of the content produced by artificial intelligence on the platform. In the newly created videos, both visual labels and Google’s invisible SynthID waterfields will be used. In this way, it can be easily understood whether a video is produced by artificial intelligence. Thanks to this watergiving technology, the company aims to minimize the risks of possible misinformation or content manipulation. This measure, especially against artificial intelligence content that spreads rapidly on social media platforms and does not reflect the truth, is considered an important step in increasing the security of the digital media ecosystem.

However, how Youtube will manage this artificial intelligence -supported content production tool. The platform states that they will control the contents of users within the framework of certain rules. In addition, youtube is expected to offer more artificial intelligence -supported vehicles for content producers in the future. Considering that artificial intelligence -based solutions in video editing and content production are increasingly widespread, youtube aims to increase the competitive advantage in this field.

All these developments show that Youtube has taken an important step in artificial intelligence -based content production. As the new features reach a large audience, the effect on content producers will be understood more clearly. The increasingly artificial intelligence support of digital content production processes stands out as an important trend that will shape the future of video platforms. How users will adopt this technology and how to use it in their creative processes will continue to be an issue that needs to be closely monitored in the coming period.
