What makes it useful?
Turns a rough sketch into realistic motion → storyboard a shot before committing to full production
Animates a single reference image → turn a still into a moving scene
Works from text alone → generate a video from scratch with just a prompt
How it works
Drag and drop the Generate Video tool onto your canvas.
Pick Gemini Omni Flash from the model list.
Add First Frame, Last Frame, and/or Reference Images depending on what you're making, and write your prompt.
Generate.
Settings you can control
Aspect Ratio: 16:9 or 9:16
Inputs: First Frame, Last Frame, Reference Images, and Text — all optional, so you can mix and match based on what you're creating
Things to keep in mind
If you're using a sketch as a motion guide, say so in your prompt (e.g., "use the drawing only as a guide for movement, don't show the drawing in the final video") — otherwise it may try to render the sketch itself
Reference Videos are not currently supported
When to use Gemini Omni Flash
Storyboarding or pre-visualizing a shot before full production
Turning a single reference image into a moving scene
Quick concept videos from just a text prompt
In short
Gemini Omni Flash is the model to reach for when you want video without needing a finished asset to start from.
