YouTube Shorts Introduces AI-Generated Backgrounds With Dream Screen
YouTube is currently experimenting with a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature for its Shorts platform, the popular minute-long vertical video format . This innovative feature, named Dream Screen , introduces custom AI-generated green screen backgrounds to enhance the visual appeal of the videos. Aimed at users who seek creative and thematic backgrounds to make their videos stand out, Dream Screen is presently accessible only to a select group of Shorts creators as part of its trial phase.
YouTube Shorts Introduces AI-Powered Backgrounds
In an announcement on its support page this Monday, the Google-owned video-sharing platform detailed the new feature. "We're experimenting with a new feature, Dream Screen, that uses AI to generate image green screen backgrounds for Shorts," the company stated. However, YouTube did not disclose the specific AI model powering this feature.
Once granted access to Dream Screen, users can generate custom backgrounds by inputting a text prompt. For instance, if a user types in “fancy hotel pool on a tropical island,” the AI will generate a fitting background image, which can then be incorporated into their video.
The brief announcement left several questions unanswered. It did not clarify whether the AI-generated background can only be added during the recording process or if it can also be applied to pre-recorded videos. Moreover, it remains unclear whether a physical green screen is necessary, or if the effect can be applied digitally, similar to features available in Google Meet. The post also did not specify any potential restrictions on the types of AI images that can be generated. More detailed guidelines are expected to be available on the Dream Screen feature page.
As an experimental feature currently in beta testing, Dream Screen is limited to a small group of Shorts creators, with plans to expand access to more creators later in 2023. In addition to this, YouTube has rolled out its Playables feature to all users, providing access to over 75 free-to-play games, a feature that was previously exclusive to YouTube Premium subscribers.
