Google NotebookLM Adds Cinematic Video Overview Feature to Automatically Turn Research Materials into Dynamic Videos

Google's AI tool NotebookLM has recently added the 'Cinematic Video Overview' feature, which can automatically convert users' research materials and notes into dynamic videos. Previously, the tool's overview feature only generated PPT-style slides; the new feature offers a more vivid presentation. The feature uses models like Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3. Gemini acts like a director, making style decisions to choose the best narrative method and visual style, ensuring the video's style and storytelling are consistent. Currently, this feature only supports English and is available to AI Ultra subscribers, accessible on both web and app platforms.
