YouTube’s new AI tool creates backgrounds for your videos so you don’t have to clean up your house
YouTube has expanded its Dream Screen AI tools for short videos. You can now use Dream Screen to generate video backgrounds for Shorts using text prompts. Until now, Dream Screen made image backgrounds, but now it is using Google DeepMind’s video generation model, Veo, to expand into videos as well.
To set a Dream Screen video background, open the Shorts camera, tap the green screen icon and select Dream Screen. You can then write any text prompt you want and select an animation style. Press the Create button and YouTube will produce a range of video backgrounds for you to choose from. Once you’ve chosen the background you want, you can film your video and the AI-generated background will be included in the final video.
You can make a video of yourself in a magical forest, recreate scenes from books and movies, or even design an entire opening scene for a video series you’re making. YouTube has also hinted at future updates that will include standalone six-second video clips created with Dream Screen.
Take your Shorts game to the next level with Dream Screen ✨Now you can instantly generate video backgrounds with just a few words! Now available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. give it a try ➡️ https://t.co/8w3DiWHyNw https://t.co/oqCGMSdrysNovember 21, 2024

The video backgrounds can mimic different movie styles in high-definition, 1080p. The dynamic video backgrounds expand the options for your video backgrounds. Notably, it’s a feature that isn’t common on YouTube’s rivals like TikTok. It’s not yet universally available, but you can try it in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. YouTube will likely roll it out elsewhere soon.
The new Dream Screen feature also fits in with YouTube’s other efforts to integrate AI across the platform. For example, AI can help inspire new video ideas with YouTube’s Brainstorm with Gemini tool and sidestep rights issues by using the AI tool to remove copyrighted music from your video without removing it completely.
