Movie Maker Gemini generates four, six or eight second video clips with Google Veo 3.1, at 720p, 1080p or 4K, each with native audio. Free with a Google AI Pro subscription and your own Google API key.

Start with the subscription you already pay for. Generate your opening clips inside the Gemini app on your Google Pro or Ultra plan, as many per day as the tier allows. When those quotas run out, Movie Maker Gemini takes over with no quota at all.

All five Veo modes are unlocked from the start: text to video, image to video, first and last frame, reference images, and extending a clip you have already made. First and last frame is the one Veo has and most rivals do not: give it a start image and an end image and it generates the movement between them. Reference images holds a subject or a style consistent across separate generations, at 16:9 only.

Clips come in 16:9 or 9:16 at 720p, 1080p or 4K, though 1080p and 4K are eight second only, and the app falls back to 720p rather than sending a request Veo would refuse. Advanced settings add a negative prompt for what to keep out of frame and a seed for reproducible results. Options a mode cannot serve are greyed out rather than hidden, so you can always see what exists and why. Large photos are resized in your browser before anything is sent, and a failed generation is never charged.

You supply your own Google API key and pay Google directly, on a Fast tier and a Standard tier that costs more and looks better. A clip runs from $0.60 for four seconds on Fast at 720p to $4.80 for eight seconds on Standard at 4K, with an itemized estimate shown before you generate and the measured cost after. A 4K clip can take up to seven minutes to come back, and the app waits up to twenty. A single eight second clip at 3840 by 2160 on the Standard tier costs $4.80, generated in one pass with its audio produced in the same pass rather than added afterward.

Veo will not run on Google's free tier, so a Google AI Pro subscription at $19.99 a month or better, and a Google Cloud account with billing at Tier 1 or better, are both required.

Then build the movie. Assemble your clips in the free Movie Maker Edit, Web Edition, or in Movie Maker Edit Pro if you want the full power of your PC and its NVIDIA, Intel or AMD hardware encoder. Original soundtracks come from Lyric Remix Studio.

Requires your own API key. A Google key on a Google AI Pro subscription is required, with Google Cloud billing at Tier 1 or better, and generation is billed by Google directly to your account.

Featured on There's An AI For That. Each application is engineered to a professional standard, putting frontier AI capability that once belonged to studios and specialist firms directly in your hands.

Two feature-length films, free to watch on There's An AI For That. Both were built clip by clip with the software on this page: reference images developed from text prompts in Grok and Gemini, clips generated with Grok Imagine and Movie Maker Create, music generated by Lyric Remix Studio Gemini, and everything assembled in Movie Maker Edit Pro, Desktop Edition.
