Google Brings Gemini Omni to Vids for Instruction-Driven Video Editing and Generation

Google has expanded Gemini Omni into Google Vids for end-to-end AI video generation and editing. The update lets users create clips from text and image references, then make targeted changes to existing footage through a step-by-step conversation. Rather than rebuilding a video after each revision, users can describe an adjustment, supply additional media where useful and refine the result in place. The central development is Omni's use of multimodal and real-world understanding in a Vids workflow. According to Google DeepMind's Gemini Omni overview , the model can work from arbitrary media, including images, text, video and audio, and apply reference-to-video capabilities grounded in world knowledge and physics-like reasoning. In Google Vids, that foundation is intended to make generated and edited scenes more coherent in composition, context and visual behavior. For teams that already use Vids to communicate ideas, training material or internal updates, the change moves AI assistance beyond first-draft generation. It introduces a conversational editing layer that can alter a chosen part of a video while preserving the broader scene and workflow. What Gemini Omni changes in Google Vids Gemini Omni supports both video creation and revision. A creator can begin with a prompt or image reference to generate a clip, or bring in existing footage and specify what should change. Google describes examples such as changing color grading or lighting, replacing backgrounds and removing background elements. This distinction matters because prompt-to-video and video editing have different practical constraints. Generating a new clip can be useful when no footage exists. Editing existing material is more relevant when a team wants to retain an established subject, scene or message while changing selected details. Omni's reference handling is designed to connect those modes rather than treating each request as an isolated output. Workflow How Gemini Omni is used in Vids Supported
