Gemini video generation is plan- and region-dependent, and the current model/interface can change. Use only reference media you have the right to use.
1. Open the video creation surface
On supported accounts, open Create video / Videos from the Gemini interface.
2. Decide text-to-video or reference-guided video
For text-only, describe visual content and motion. For image/video references, use them to anchor the subject, composition or edit target.
3. Prompt the shot, not an entire film
Describe one coherent scene: subject, action, environment, camera behavior, lighting, style and desired audio where supported.
4. Edit with a specific change request
After generation, request one concrete edit such as replacing an object, changing the camera angle or modifying the scene.
5. Export only after a continuity check
Watch the whole clip for identity drift, object changes, unwanted text, audio problems and motion artifacts before sharing.
Create one [duration/format if available] shot. Subject: [subject]. Action: [single action]. Environment: [scene]. Camera: [movement + framing]. Lighting: [lighting]. Style: [style]. Keep identity, wardrobe and major objects consistent throughout the shot.
Writing a screenplay-length prompt for one short generation; changing subject, scene and camera all at once during edits; using unlicensed reference media; publishing without watching the entire output.
Finish check
A successful iteration should improve one visible property of the same shot without accidentally changing the core subject or scene.
