It's about to get easier to add AI-generated video into your short-form posts. YouTube announced that Shorts will integrate Veo 2 — Google DeepMind’s newest video mode — which will allow users to generate and add AI clips into their videos.

YouTube has added new generative AI video features that creators can use when making Shorts.
