Edit existing video clips with plain-English instructions
A creator tested Gemini Omni Flash over 36 hours, editing clips in place from typed instructions while preserving lighting and camera angle, with variable quality.
Done withGemini
- What they did
- The author used Gemini Omni Flash in the Gemini app: attach a clip, type one plain-English change per turn, and watch the result in chat. Later turns stack on earlier edits, and the author could ask to go back to a prior version. Four public creator demos were also reviewed, including a clip with removal, outfit change and background insertion, and a flamingo-head swap across a meeting scene.
- How it went
- Edits kept the original lighting, camera and action, and the flamingo swap handled several people across cuts. Quality varied: one demo creator called her own result mid, and stacking several edits in one turn gave inconsistent results.
- Worth knowing
- Sub-10-second clips worked best, and pre-launch reporting put one generation at about 43% of a Pro user's daily quota, roughly two finished iterations a day on the $19.99 plan.
Try it yourself with Gemini
Edit my existing video clip [describe or attach clip] using these changes: [e.g. change the sky to sunset, remove the person on the left]. Keep the original lighting, camera angle, and motion. Give me the edited version plus a note on anything that did not turn out well, and offer one retry with adjusted instructions.
