NotebookLM Adds Cinematic Video by Combining Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3

IBL News | New York

Google introduced a major update to its video-creation capabilities in NotebookLM for AI Ultra subscribers — Google’s highest AI subscription tier — on the web and mobile.

The new feature, named Cinematic Video Overviews, adds immersive and enriched animated visuals to the clips.

It uses a combination of three Google models: Gemini 3, Nano Banana Pro, and Veo 3.

Google explained this way, “Gemini now acts as a creative director, making hundreds of structural and stylistic decisions to best tell the story with your sources.” “It determines the best narrative, visual style and format, and even refines its own work to ensure consistency.”
