Gemini Omni Flash: what survives the edit
Five fresh runs through the real Creativly Video Session path: three text-to-video tests, two source-video edits, and the prompts and run records behind every result.

The brief survives
These runs meet the central brief even when small imperfections remain. Open any row to play the original 720p file with sound and inspect its prompt, model, source and exact run metadata.
Rainforest micro-motion
Visual: A cinematic, macro 16:9 shot of a vibrant blue-and-orange poison dart frog resting on a broad, glossy wet tropical leaf. Large raindrops hit the leaf, causing tiny localized splashes and making the leaf bounce slightly. The frog breathes rhythmically, swallows once, and blinks its eyes. Soft, diffused rainforest canopy lighting. Audio: Continuous soft rain patter with one distinct, wet frog croak at the halfway mark synchronized with the swallow.
The frog remains anatomically stable while separate rain impacts deform the leaf and make localized splashes. The swallow, blink and mouth movement arrive as distinct beats instead of a generic idle loop.
One impact, three material states
Visual: A close-up 16:9 shot on a dark slate surface. A heavy silver spoon swings down and decisively strikes a smooth, golden spun-sugar caramel dome. The caramel shell shatters instantly into sharp shards, and a thick, dark crimson berry sauce oozes out smoothly from the broken center. Audio: A sharp, brittle glass-like crack perfectly timed to the spoon impact, followed by a thick, slow liquid squelch.
The spoon makes contact before the dome breaks, the shell keeps crisp volume as it fragments, and the berry filling emerges from the opening with visibly heavier viscosity. The cause-and-effect sequence reads immediately.
Changing the world without losing the move
Video-to-video edit. Keep strictly unchanged: the 360-degree camera orbit path, the framing, the exact speed, and the complex galloping animation of the robotic hound. Change the hound's material from pristine silver to rusted, moss-covered steampunk brass. Change the environment from a dry salt flat to a shallow splashing riverbed. Replace the dry dust trails with heavy water splashing. Audio: replace the dry crunching with heavy splashing water steps; retain the metallic joint squeaks.
The edit preserves the broad camera orbit and recognizable running cycle while replacing silver, salt and dust with brass, shallow water and timed splashes. Moss coverage is lighter than requested, but the structural and environmental change remains readable throughout.
Bad results
The miss is specific
These are completed model outputs, not errors or placeholders. Each looks plausible at a glance and still misses a named requirement when the motion or source is reviewed carefully.
The orbit lands; the paws do not
Visual: A continuous 16:9 fast orbit tracking shot circling 360 degrees around a metallic-silver robotic hound sprinting across a flat, cracked white salt flat at high noon. The camera smoothly starts at the hound's head, sweeps along its galloping left flank, and ends directly behind it. Heavy dust kicks up from the paws. Audio: Rhythmic heavy metallic galloping sounds over a dry, crunching surface.
The hound stays recognizable and the camera covers a wide orbit, but the explicit ground-contact test exposes the limit: several strides skate or float over the salt, and the rear limbs briefly simplify. The shot is coherent, not physically convincing.
A successful restyle, a failed preservation edit
Video-to-video edit. Keep strictly unchanged: the exact geometry, silhouette, breathing, and blinking of the frog; the timing of the leaf bounces; and the physical impacts and splashes of the raindrops. Change the frog's skin from blue and orange to glowing, translucent bioluminescent purple. Change the leaf to a matte-black synthetic carbon-fiber surface. Change the background to a dark studio. Audio: retain the rain and croak, but apply a distinct echoing studio reverb.
The requested purple skin, carbon surface and studio world all arrive, but this is still a failed preservation edit. The frog is slimmer with a different head and limb pose, and the large splash crowns do not follow the source impact timing or shape frame-for-frame.
Prompt, generate, review, refine
A compact path from prompt to inspected take, using only the five files in this Session. The point is not to hide misses; it is to keep enough context to make the next decision specific.

Use T2V to establish the shot
Start with text when the idea is still a motion brief. Name the camera, ordered actions, material changes and sound cues. Here, contact → fracture → flow gives the model a visible causal sequence to resolve.

Prompted sequencecontact → fracture → viscous flow - IMAGE GUIDANCE
Use an image when the first frame matters
Attach a primary image when the opening composition or subject design already exists; attach reference images when visual guidance matters across the clip. This Session does not include an I2V run, so that capability is described—not simulated.
- 02 / EDIT
Make the preservation contract explicit
Attach a source video, then name both sides of the contract: what may change and what must survive. The hound edit changed material, terrain, particles and sound while keeping the broad orbit and running cycle readable.

Review the miss, then narrow the next edit
A restyle can look polished and still fail as an edit. Compare source and result at matching times. The frog changed pose and splash timing, so the next run should reduce the scope and reinforce the motion blueprint before attempting the full environment swap.
Narrowed next prompt · not yet generated
Use @Video1 as an immutable motion blueprint. Preserve the frog silhouette, body proportions, limb placement, blink and mouth timing, camera, leaf geometry, raindrop impact positions and splash timing frame-for-frame. Change only the frog skin to translucent bioluminescent purple. Keep everything else unchanged, including the original audio.
