Veo 2: the new star in the video sky
When we talk about videos, we often talk about resolution, realism and creative freedom. This is exactly where Veo 2 comes in. The model can generate high-resolution video clips in 4K quality (currently at 720p at launch) that are just 8 seconds long but still look breathtakingly realistic.
But that’s just the beginning. The improved physical simulations and the significantly reduced rate of so-called “hallucinations” ensure realistic movements and highly detailed scenes that are second to none. Especially in direct comparison with OpenAI’s Sora and Runway, Veo 2 shows that Google has gained the upper hand. It’s no wonder, then, that Veo 2 is at the top of the human ratings for quality and prompt compliance.
For creatives looking to take their videos to the next level, the integration with YouTube Shorts, coming in 2025, is an absolute highlight. You can currently sign up for access via the VideoFX waiting list.
Image 3: When pictures tell stories
Google is not only leading the way in video; with Imagen 3, image generation has also reached new dimensions. The improved color vibrancy, detailed texture reproduction and accurate interpretation of user queries set new standards.
Whether artistic compositions, complex scenes or delicate details – Imagen 3 outperforms models such as Midjourney, Flux and Ideogram in almost all categories, according to human evaluations. The availability of Google Labs’ ImageFX, which has already been launched in over 100 countries, makes this tool a must for anyone who wants to create visual content at the highest level.

Why this is important
2024 was a year of successes for Google: after Gemini 2.0, Veo 2 and Imagen 3 are now being added as further milestones. While OpenAI attracted attention with Sora and other projects, Google is showing that it is not just about hype, but about tangible results.
The significance of these models lies not only in their technological superiority, but also in their potential use for creatives, businesses and end users. From YouTube videos to social media content, the applications are almost endless.
To sum up, Google is setting new standards.
With Veo 2 and Imagen 3, Google is demonstrating that it not only understands the AI landscape, but is actively shaping it. These models are not just tools – they are pioneers for a new era of creativity. Whether you are an experienced content creator or a curious newcomer, one thing is for sure: with Veo 2, Google is playing in the premier league – and has a good chance of winning the championship.
