Creating Video Backgrounds: A Seamless Process
YouTube Shorts creators can now effortlessly craft AI-generated video backgrounds by simply inputting text prompts. The process is straightforward: open the Shorts camera, tap the green screen icon, and select Dream Screen. Users can then type in a text prompt describing their desired background and choose an animation style. Once set, a single tap on Create launches the AI generation process.
Multiple Options and Upcoming Features
As highlighted by TechCrunch, the upgraded Dream Screen feature will present multiple video backgrounds based on the user’s prompt, allowing for a greater selection. Once a background is chosen, users can record their video with the new backdrop.
Looking ahead, YouTube plans to enable creators to generate six-second long stand-alone clips using the Dream Screen feature, further expanding creative possibilities.
Availability and Language Support
Currently, the Dream Screen feature is available only in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and text prompts must be entered in English. This limitation may change in the future as YouTube continues to roll out the feature globally.
