Google's "Gemini Omni" Generates Video from Any Input

Google announced its new multimodal AI "Gemini Omni," introducing an "any input to video" capability that can generate and edit high-quality video by freely combining text, images, audio, and video. Unveiled at Google I/O around May 19, 2026, the first implementation, "Gemini Omni Flash," is immediately available in the Gemini app (paid plans), YouTube Shorts, and Google Flow. 1

What Happened

Google disclosed details on its official blog "Introducing Gemini Omni" and on a DeepMind page. It is a model that integrates Gemini's world understanding (physics, history, science, culture) with video generation capabilities, described as "create anything from any input – starting with video." 23

The main features are as follows.

• Conversational, step-by-step video editing via natural language (making sequential edits while maintaining consistency)
• Consistent output integrating arbitrary references such as images, text, video, and audio
• Physics-compliant generation grounded in real-world knowledge, plus style conversions such as claymation-like, hologram-like, and voxel-art-like styles
• Creation of a "digital avatar" that reproduces your own appearance and voice

Gemini Omni Flash's generation length is currently up to 10 seconds; this is said to be not a model limitation but a design choice considering early availability and user demand, with longer durations planned for future expansion. An API is expected to become available within a few weeks. All outputs carry a SynthID watermark. The higher-performance "Gemini Omni Pro" is slated for release once clear improvements have been confirmed. 1
