Google is enhancing the ability to create videos with its AI Flow tool, making the results even more realistic. Users may have difficulty recognizing videos as AI at first glance.
The company announced Wednesday that users can add and change shadows and lighting in AI-powered videos. The expanded editing capabilities in Flow tie into the update Veo 3.1, also announced Wednesday, which Google says does a better job of creating a video based on images submitted as a prompt.

Flow users will also be able to create videos with audio using several of the tool’s new features. Users can create a video with audio based on three reference images that the company calls “Ingredients to Video.” Another feature, called “Frames to Video,” creates a video that bridges an initial image with a final image, with accompanying audio. Finally, the “Scene Extension” feature lets you take the last second of a clip and add additional generated video (up to a minute in length), also with generated audio.
Veo 3.1 costs the same as Veo 3, is available as part of a “paid preview” through the Gemini API for developers, and is enabled in the Gemini app.

According to Google, Flow users will soon get another important feature. They will be able to remove “anything” from a video — the tool will reconstruct the background and scene to make it look “as if the object was never there.”

The ability to add and change shadows and lighting allows users to finely customize the appearance of their videos, offering greater creative freedom. In addition, the integration of audio into videos opens up new possibilities for more complete and impressive projects.
