[0:00] Google has done it. They've given us
[0:02] short video overviews for Notebook LM.
[0:05] This was just announced and it is
[0:08] rolling out for all users. So, there's
[0:10] no limit. You don't have to have a
[0:12] certain plan for it. You're going to
[0:14] have this brand new feature from
[0:16] Notebook LM, which are these shorts.
[0:19] These are both shorter in length and
[0:22] they are vertical so that they fit the
[0:24] format of your phone better. Think like
[0:27] YouTube short style or TikTok style.
[0:30] Let's take a look at these together cuz
[0:31] what I've discovered is that there's a
[0:33] very particular use case for these where
[0:35] these really shine. Overall, I think
[0:38] there's some really cool stuff you can
[0:39] do with this. So, what hasn't changed is
[0:42] that Notebook LM is basically the same.
[0:44] You can come into Notebook LM, create
[0:46] any of these notebooks and inside of
[0:48] these notebooks you can add your sources
[0:50] over here on the left and your notebook
[0:52] will be grounded in those sources.
[0:54] Meaning, all those sources will be used
[0:57] to create things here inside studio. All
[1:00] these buttons look exactly the same. You
[1:02] can create infographics, flashcards,
[1:04] mind maps, and video overviews. But, if
[1:07] you click on this right arrow inside of
[1:10] video overview, you will now see an
[1:12] option for shorts. And the fact that
[1:15] this is available for all users is
[1:18] really awesome because on my Ultra plan
[1:21] I get access to cinematic, explainer
[1:23] videos, and short videos, but on the
[1:25] free plan, even though I've have ac-
[1:27] I've had access to cinematic videos for
[1:29] a while now, you will not get access to
[1:31] that on th
