Agents are powerful, and so is ffmpeg. Why not combine them? This Flow Tool allows you to use natural language to manipulate your media and save the results in seconds. @FlowbyGoogle @FFmpeg

ffmpeg -i my_video.mp4 -agent "turn this into a gif at 16 fps and 480p, and make sure it loops"
@FFmpeg when?

Told #GeminiOmni the TV was a hole in the wall. Whole new way to watch YouTube.

The behind the scenes on Timmy TPU is an incredible look into how Generative AI is only a tool in the creative process. #GeminiOmni
We wanted to see if we could take simple, physical materials (like cardboard and markers) and use AI to bring them to life. What was the result? A short film starring a bunch of TPUs getting ready for the big stage at Google I/O 2026!
Working with director Laurie Rowan and Nexus Studios, we kept human artistry at the center of the film by blending puppetry and 3D animation with our models to do the following ↓
Nano Banana: Generated beautifully stylized first frames from the raw puppet footage and basic 3D animations.
@GoogleAIStudio: Built a custom tool inside the platform to test these frames at scale, ensuring pixel-perfect consistency
Gemini Omni & experimental @GoogleDeepMind Models: Merged the base animation and stylized frames to elevate the final piece to a cinematic level.
Our AI pipelines were specifically designed to protect the crafty details that give these films their heart, like the tiny human imperfections of puppetry, or the nuance an animator can build into an expression.

We’ve heard your feedback about hitting limits too quickly on @GeminiApp. We're rolling out several fixes to make your quota stretch further and feel more predictable… 🧵

Why use a single prompt when you can keep editing and remixing?? The original was a video of me against a gray wall and I just kept going.
So much fun editing with #GeminiOmni in the @FlowbyGoogle app.

I had to do this of course - test out the new Google Omni Flash model with my favorite 3d art sandbox - Dreams. Just a quick test for now.. I'll be sharing more examples and techniques soon but wanted to show you this one. There's something very fitting about combining "handmade" 3d models and animations sculpted from scratch in software that runs on 2013 hardware, with some of the most advanced AI technology in the world.
As part of my work for Google, I've used Google V2V models on a few different projects now - Ancestra, Dear Upstairs Neighbors and most recently one of the IO films (I'll share more about that project soon) 🥰 - and video continues to be my favorite form of input for Generative Ai workflows.
If an image says more than a thousand words, a video says more than a million. And knowing that these capabilities are now in the hands of all of you, makes me very excited to see the new workflows and projects that will come out of it.
What do you think of Omni so far?

I uploaded a screenshot of Google Maps to Gemini Omni with a route drawn on it.
Then I prompted it to create a first person view of someone driving a taxi cab along the route in the reference image.
Pretty close to the real thing.

Was super impressed at text handling here with #GeminiOmni inside @FlowbyGoogle
"add a serif font at center like a title that says Flow. it appears at 00:01 and fades out at 00:05. Lets add a logo to the tennis balls in dark green that say Omni"
