I Paid For Veo-3. Is It Worth It?

So, Google just dropped Veo 3, their new AI Video Generator, and it feels like we're stepping into the 3.0 era for this tech! Alongside Veo, they've launched Flow, a seriously impressive platform that brings together image, audio, and video creation. But hold onto your hats, because it comes with a hefty $250/month price tag! Is it worth it? Well, I decided to pony up the cash to find out for you!

In this video, I'm diving deep into Veo 3 and the Flow platform. We'll explore what it's amazing at, where it's still lacking, and ultimately, I'll let you know if you should "get into the Flow"! I'm checking out everything from its new ability to generate talking characters and create specific visual styles, to how it handles subtitles and compares with its predecessor, V2. We'll also look at some fun community creations and the often hilarious world of AI-improvised dialogue!
