Google has expanded access to its advanced AI video generation tool, Veo 3, making it available in India and globally through the Gemini app for AI Pro subscribers. The move comes as part of the tech giant’s efforts to democratize creative tools and bring AI-generated video content to a broader audience at a more affordable price.
Originally unveiled at Google I/O in May 2025, Veo 3 was initially restricted to AI Ultra subscribers at a steep price of $249.99 per month. In June, Google introduced a more budget-friendly version called “Veo 3 Fast” as part of its $19.99/month AI Pro subscription, now accessible through the Gemini app.
This update marks a significant reduction in cost and greatly increases the accessibility of AI-powered video creation for casual users, creators, and professionals alike.
Veo 3 empowers users to create short 8-second video clips with a variety of advanced features, including:
Sound effects and background music
AI-generated characters with synthesised speech
Visual storytelling powered by prompts and creative input
Despite being short and capped at 720p resolution, these clips are now twice as fast to render due to improvements in Google’s backend infrastructure.
Currently, users on the AI Pro tier can create up to three Veo 3 Fast videos per day. Once this daily limit is reached, the app automatically switches users back to Veo 2, an older version of the model with fewer features and lower creative flexibility.
This system balances user access with server load while still offering a generous allotment for daily content creation.
Google encourages users to let their creativity run wild. In its announcement, the company cited examples such as:
Reimagining historical events through the eyes of a modern influencer
Depicting abstract ideas like slicing through a glass apple
Creating fictional clips like Bigfoot sightings
These examples highlight the versatility of Veo 3 in generating unique, entertaining, and thought-provoking visual content.
Google has also focused on making the creative process smoother and more dependable. According to the company, the app now experiences fewer blocks during video generation, improving reliability and workflow consistency for users.
This enhancement ensures that creators don’t face frustrating interruptions when producing their AI-generated content.
Looking ahead, Google plans to roll out a photo-to-video generation feature, which will allow users to transform still images into short, animated clips using AI. This will further extend the creative capabilities of the Gemini platform and provide users with even more storytelling options.
To ensure transparency and mitigate misuse, all Veo 3-generated videos include both visible and invisible watermarks:
Visible watermarks are seen in the final video
Invisible watermarks are embedded via SynthID, Google DeepMind’s proprietary watermarking technology
These measures help distinguish AI-generated content from real footage and reinforce Google’s commitment to responsible AI development.
Google reiterated that it is continuously testing Veo 3 for safety and enforcing strict content moderation policies. These safeguards are aimed at preventing the generation of harmful or misleading videos and ensuring that the platform remains a responsible tool for creativity.
Conclusion
With the launch of Veo 3 Fast via Gemini Pro, Google is putting powerful AI video tools into the hands of everyday users, including those in India. Whether you're crafting stories, marketing visuals, or exploring surreal artistic concepts, Veo 3 makes short-form video creation more accessible, efficient, and imaginative than ever before.
