In a blog post, Google announced that it is rolling out a major update to NotebookLM’s video-generating powers. The update combines three of Google’s AI models—Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3— to create Cinematic Video Overviews.
As the company explains, Cinematic Video Overviews move beyond simply narrating slides. It generates tailored videos, using Gemini to make “hundreds of structural and stylistic decisions” for narrative, visual style, and format based on your sources. These videos aim to get you engaged in a subject and help you learn.
Cinematic Video Overviews will be available on the web for Google AI Ultra subscribers in English starting today. It will also be available on the mobile apps. However, you’ll need to be 18 or older to access it.
