The new AI model lets you create videos using text prompts and you can even add audio sync for the visuals. But did you know that Google is making it capable of generating 8-second videos out of your photos?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cYou can create short videos in minutes in Gemini Apps.
