Generation Modes

How to Use Gemini Omni — Choose Your Creation Mode

Gemini Omni supports four distinct video creation modes. Pick the one that matches your starting point.

Text-to-Video

Start from a description

Write a plain-English scene description. Gemini Omni generates a full 1080p clip with motion, lighting, and synchronized audio — no source material needed.

Image-to-Video

Animate a still image

Upload any photo or graphic. Gemini Omni adds realistic camera motion, physics, and environmental detail — while preserving character identity across every frame.

Remix Clips

Restyle existing footage

Upload your own video clip and ask Gemini Omni to change the season, art style, lighting, or background — keeping your composition and pacing intact.

Chat-Edit

Edit any clip in conversation

After generating a clip, type what you want changed. Gemini Omni patches the specific frames you describe — no timeline, no re-generating from scratch.


Complete Walkthrough

How to Use Gemini Omni — 5 Steps from Signup to Export

1

Sign up and claim your 10 free credits

Go to geminiomnihub.com and click Get 10 Free Credits. Create an account with your Google account or email — the entire process takes under 60 seconds.

Once your account is created, 10 generation credits are added automatically. No credit card, no trial period, no waitlist. Each credit covers one full video generation — so you have 10 complete videos to experiment with before spending anything.

If a generation fails for any reason, your credit is automatically refunded. You only pay for successful outputs.
2

Select your generation mode

After signing in, you'll see the Gemini Omni creation interface. Along the top, choose your mode: Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Remix, or Chat-Edit.

Not sure which to use? Start with Text-to-Video — it requires nothing but words, and it's the fastest way to see what the model can do. If you have a reference image or existing footage, use one of the other modes.

Each mode uses exactly 1 credit per generation — no mode costs more than another.
3

Write your prompt — or upload your source

For Text-to-Video: write a detailed scene description. Cover the subject, action, setting, camera movement, lighting, mood, and audio style. The more detail you include, the closer the result will match your vision.

For Image-to-Video: click Upload and select your image (JPG or PNG, up to 20 MB). Add a short note about the motion you want — "slow camera push-in," "leaves blowing in wind," etc.

For Remix: upload an MP4 clip and describe how you want it transformed — "make it winter," "restyle as anime," "change background to a busy café."

Gemini Omni understands layered prompts. You don't need to break your brief into separate fields — describe everything in one natural paragraph.
4

Generate, preview, and refine in chat

Click Generate. In 30–90 seconds, Gemini Omni returns a 1080p clip with native audio locked to the visuals. Watch it inline — if anything needs changing, use the chat box directly below the video.

Type what you want adjusted: "make the sky stormier," "slow the camera down," "remove the person in the background," "change the music to something more upbeat." Gemini Omni patches those specific elements without re-generating the full clip from scratch.

Chat edits do not consume an additional credit. Only new generations deduct 1 credit.
5

Export and publish

When you're happy with the result, click Download. Your video exports as a 1080p MP4 — ready for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, client delivery, or paid advertising.

Every paid-plan export includes a full commercial use license. You own the content outright. No watermarks, no attribution required, no royalties.

Starter plan exports at 720p. Basic, Plus, and Professional plans export at full 1080p HD.

Prompt Writing Guide

How to Write Prompts for Gemini Omni — Real Examples

These are real prompts that produce strong results. Copy and adapt them for your own projects.

Text-to-Video — Cinematic

Prompt

A lone astronaut walks across a rust-red Martian plain at dusk. Low-angle tracking shot. Dust swirls at her boots. The sun sets behind a mountain range; the sky shifts from orange to deep violet. Ambient wind sounds, no dialogue.

Result: A 10-second cinematic sequence with accurate lighting transition, motion blur on dust particles, and spatial audio that follows the camera movement.

Image-to-Video — Product

Prompt

Animate this product image with a slow 360-degree rotation on a clean white surface. Soft studio lighting. Add subtle lens flare as it rotates past the light source. No background, no sound.

Result: A smooth product spin-video with accurate specular highlights, ready for e-commerce or paid social use.

Remix — Style Transfer

Prompt

Restyle this clip as a Studio Ghibli animation. Keep all the camera movements and character actions exactly the same, but transform the visual style to hand-drawn cel animation with watercolor backgrounds.

Result: The original clip's motion and composition preserved exactly, rendered in Ghibli's signature art style with soft brush textures.

Chat-Edit — Targeted Fix

Chat edit after generation

The camera movement is too fast in the second half. Slow it down by about 50%. Also make the background buildings slightly more blurred — I want more depth of field separation on the subject.

Result: Gemini Omni patches only the specified elements — camera speed and background blur — without touching the rest of the clip. No credit consumed.


Prompt Optimization

Gemini Omni Prompt Tips — Do This, Not That

Small changes in how you write your prompt produce dramatically different results. Here's what to include — and what to leave out.

ElementIncludeAvoid
Camera motion"Slow push-in," "overhead drone shot," "handheld tracking"No camera instruction — results in static or random movement
Lighting"Golden hour," "soft studio lighting," "high-contrast noir""Nice lighting" — too vague to produce consistent results
Audio"Ambient rain, no dialogue," "upbeat electronic score," "footsteps on gravel"No audio instruction — model guesses based on visuals
Subject detail"A woman in her 30s, red jacket, dark hair, confident posture""A person" — leads to inconsistent character appearance
Art style"Photorealistic 8K," "Studio Ghibli animation," "70mm film grain""Cool style" — model has no reference to work from
Pacing"Slow and cinematic," "fast cut every 2 seconds," "builds to climax"No pacing cue — defaults to medium speed
Negative guidance"No watermarks," "no people in background," "no motion blur"Leaving unwanted elements implied — they'll appear anyway
