google has announced a new update to its ai video generation model “veo 3,” which now supports high resolution at 1080p.

the update allows video generation in vertical format with a 16:9 aspect ratio, optimized for smartphones and social media platforms, according to al-bawaba tech.

these updates open the door for wider adoption of ai-generated content on vertical video platforms such as tiktok, instagram reels, and youtube shorts.

users of the “veo 3” model and its faster, lower-cost version “veo 3 fast” can now generate vertical video clips, according to google’s official developer blog.

an option has also been added to upgrade the resolution of horizontal videos to 1080p instead of the previous 720p limit.

the company confirmed that both models are now more stable and ready for large-scale use via the gemini api, with significantly reduced video generation costs.

the cost of generating one second through “veo 3” has dropped to 40 cents instead of 75 cents, while “veo 3 fast” has fallen to 15 cents instead of 40 cents.

major ai companies like runway and pika are racing to provide more precise and faster video generation tools.

support for 1080p resolution and vertical video is expected to enable more professional-looking clips at lower costs, making it possible to create fresh content without the need for studios or advanced filming equipment.

however, the expansion of ai video generation tools also raises concerns about the spread of low-quality or repetitive content, which may push platforms to develop new mechanisms to differentiate between original and ai-generated material.
