AI video so real it might ask you for photo ID
Written by
Google’s new Veo 3 model generates photoreal 4K clips with sound—think wind, dialogue, squeaky rubber ducks—all from a text prompt. It lands first inside Canva and YouTube Shorts this summer, giving everyday creators the sort of fidelity that once took a full post-house.

What is Veo 3?
DeepMind calls it a “video-meet-audio” upgrade: the model now produces native SFX, ambience, even spoken lines, while keeping physics and lighting eerily plausible. It also sticks to prompts better than its predecessors, and exports up to 4 K.
Why we care (short version)
More believable footage + built-in sound means we can storyboard richer ideas without booking camera crews—or raiding the stock-footage bargain bin. That frees budget for actual storytelling instead of patch-up VFX.
Stand-out features
Native audio track – Foley, ambience, and dialogue in one render.
Prompt adherence – Fewer “close enough” surprises in the output.
Physics & realism – Objects behave, shadows land correctly (mostly).
Canva & Shorts rollout – Millions of non-editors will have it in familiar tools.
Super realistic !
Together, those perks let us prototype social teasers, hero loops, or onboarding snippets that feel shot on location—minus location fees
What this means for your brand
Expect higher-impact motion on your site without the usual production circus.
We can test campaign concepts in hours and keep only the winners.
On-page videos get native sound design, so hero banners finally sound as good as they look.
Updates stay cheaper than live shoots; if you pivot, we re-prompt—not re-film.
Key Takeaways
Your creative budget goes further because we spend on ideas, not stock libraries.
Site and ad visuals level-up with realistic motion and audio that match your brand tone.
Faster iteration cycles mean you sign off sooner—and launch while the buzz is still buzzing.
Smaller brands can compete with huge budget productions —and its getting better!

Midjourney finally does video.
V1 beta spits out five-second clips for about eight-times the GPU cost. Worth it? Let’s poke it with a stick.
Midjourney suprisingly late to the party with video with a new V1 Video Model which turns a prompt—or an existing picture—into four five-second clips, export-ready at up to 4-K. It lives on the web (Discord is next), costs roughly eight image credits per render, and already has the lawyers twitching.
