Google Vids just became a far more capable video maker with Gemini Omni

TL;DR Google Vids gets a major AI overhaul with Gemini Omni, making video creation and editing as simple as describing what you want in plain language. You can create a personal AI avatar by uploading a single selfie and a short voice recording. To prevent misuse, personal avatars are restricted to the account holder’s likeness.

Editing a video typically involves a long process of fixing lighting, changing backgrounds, or endless retakes to get the perfect shot. Now, Google is rewriting the playbook with massive Google Vids updates that do the AI work for you. The biggest new addition to Vids is Gemini Omni, Google’s multimodal video generation model first shown off at I/O 2026 .

With Vids, you can now create or edit videos from natural language prompts, whether you’re starting from scratch with text and images or editing an existing clip, per Google’s blog post . You can skip the timeline and just tell Gemini to change a background, improve lighting, or add visual effects with conversational prompts.
