YouTube has announced a major update at its Made on YouTube 2025 event, unveiling a suite of AI-powered creation tools integrated directly into YouTube Shorts and Studio. These tools leverage Google DeepMind’s Veo 3 Fast to generate video backgrounds, clips with sound, and customizable props. The Edit with AI feature drafts videos from raw footage, while Speech to Song transforms spoken lines into musical soundtracks. New video restyling and motion effects powered by Veo offer creators more control over their content’s look and feel.

The rollout targets creators worldwide, with certain features entering open beta for YouTube Partner Program participants. The updates are accessible on YouTube’s global platform, including Shorts and YouTube Studio. These tools aim to help both established and aspiring creators produce content more efficiently and creatively, regardless of experience level.
The company is also launching enhancements for live streaming, podcasting, and music fandom, plus expanded tools for brand partnerships and shopping integrations. YouTube’s focus with these releases is to strengthen the creator economy, empower individual expression, and sustain its lead in digital entertainment. Early feedback from creators highlights the utility of AI for rapid video production and content management, with industry observers noting the competitive edge these features provide compared to other platforms that lack such integrated AI capabilities.
