🎬 Google Veo 3 Now Creates Vertical Videos in HD with a 60% Price Cut

Google upgraded its Veo 3 video generation AI with support for vertical 9:16 format videos, 1080p HD resolution, and massive price reductions to make AI video creation more accessible for mobile and social media content.

What's new:

• Vertical 9:16 aspect ratio videos for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts
• 1080p HD resolution for 16:9 format (vertical still 720p)
• Veo 3 price cut from $0.75 to $0.40 per second (47% reduction)
• Veo 3 Fast slashed from $0.40 to $0.15 per second (62% reduction)

🎥 YouTube Rolls Out AI Multi-Language Video Dubbing to All Creators

YouTube officially launched its multi-language audio feature to millions of creators worldwide, allowing them to add AI-generated dubbing in different languages to reach global audiences without hiring voice actors.

What's new:

• Multi-language audio dubbing is available to all creators globally
• Rolling out over the coming weeks to millions of YouTubers
• AI-powered auto-dubbing uses Google's Gemini technology
• Replicates the creator's tone and emotions in different languages
• Multi-language thumbnails with localized text are also being tested
• Eliminates the need for third-party dubbing services

Early results:

• Creators saw 25% of watch time from non-primary languages
• Jamie Oliver's channel tripled in views using the feature
• Feature tested since 2023 with MrBeast, Mark Rober, others
• Localized thumbnails match viewers' preferred languages

Why it matters:

This democratizes global content creation by removing language barriers that previously required expensive voice acting and translation services. Small creators can now compete internationally with the same tools used by major channels.

The feature could reshape YouTube's global landscape as creators tap into non-English speaking markets, potentially changing how content is produced and consumed across different cultures and regions.
