Google Vids Adds Gemini Omni and Personal Avatars for Prompt-based Video Creation

Intelligence: Google is rolling out Gemini Omni and personal avatars to Google Vids, letting users generate and edit videos using text prompts and image references.

• Users can edit videos step by step using natural language to swap backgrounds, fix lighting, or add effects without starting over.

• Personal avatars let users create a digital version of themselves from a selfie and short voice recording to deliver typed messages.

• Access to personal avatars is currently limited to users 18 and older in certain regions, and avatars are restricted to the account holder's own likeness.

• Every video generated includes an invisible SynthID digital watermark so people can verify it was created with AI.
