The Gemini Omni Flash Setup Guide

Gemini's new Omni Flash edits your whole video from a written prompt — no CapCut, no timelines, no editing skills. Here's the exact setup, plus the four prompts that made the effects you saw.

📋 Copy-paste prompts 🤖 labs.google + ChatGPT or Claude ⏱️ Minutes, not hours 💸 No editing software

What's inside

Omni Flash lives at labs.google and it works differently to every editor you've used: you don't cut anything, drag anything or touch a timeline. You hand it your raw video and a written storyboard, and it builds the edit. The writing IS the editing — which is why the prompts further down are the real payload here.

⚠️ The 10-second rule (read this first)

Omni Flash currently caps clips at around 10 seconds. So edit your video in chunks of 10 seconds or less, then stitch the finished chunks together afterwards. The stitching is the easy bit — any basic tool does it, even QuickTime on a Mac or your phone's Photos app. Still no CapCut required.

1

Go to labs.google and drop in your video

Sign in with your Google account, open Omni Flash, and upload your raw clip — straight off your phone is fine. A simple talking-head video works brilliantly, because the effects get built around you.

2

Create your storyboard in ChatGPT or Claude

Use the storyboard prompt below as your base. The trick that makes it work: every effect is pinned to a spoken word — you quote the exact line from your clip, then describe what the viewer sees at that moment.

3

Paste the storyboard in with your video

Drop the storyboard into Omni Flash alongside your clip and let it build the full edit — cuts, effects, transitions, the lot. Not quite right? Change the wording and run it again. Rewriting a sentence is your new version of re-editing.

Everything you need

A Google account, your raw video, and ChatGPT or Claude for the storyboard. That's the whole kit — nothing to install, nothing to pay for.


This is the one that edited the video — the full storyboard, exactly as I ran it. Before you copy it, read it once and notice the structure: each paragraph quotes the exact words I say, then describes what the viewer sees while I say them. That's the entire technique.

The Full-Edit Storyboard Prompt
Turn this 11-second talking-head video into a fast, visually surprising demonstration of AI video editing.

The editing should progressively escalate throughout the clip. Start clean and premium, then become increasingly experimental and visually impossible, before snapping back to simplicity at the end.

"This video that you're watching" — begin with polished kinetic typography and subtle camera movement. Briefly duplicate the video into several floating layered frames with realistic depth and parallax, then merge them back together.

"has been fully edited by AI" — freeze the frame for a fraction of a second, cut me cleanly out from the background, and rapidly transform the visual style through a sophisticated paper collage, glossy chrome 3D, editorial photocopy texture and cut-out sticker effect. Each transformation should last only a few frames and hit precisely with the rhythm of the sentence.

"no CapCut" — create a fake video editing interface around me. Show timeline tracks, clips, handles and layers, then make the entire interface physically explode, delete itself and fly off screen while I remain centred.

"no tweaking timelines" — turn the lower half of the actual video into an editing timeline containing miniature versions of this exact clip. Make the playhead race across it while clips automatically cut, resize, rearrange and animate themselves. Fold the timeline up like a physical sheet and make it disappear.

"just using Gemini's new Omni Flash" — create the biggest visual moment. Pull the camera backwards to reveal multiple floating versions of this video surrounding me, each with a radically different visual treatment: cinematic, glossy 3D, editorial magazine, VHS, surreal collage and minimalist monochrome. Rapidly move through them with seamless match cuts, then collapse every version back into the original footage.

"Watch this." — instantly strip away every effect. Return to an extremely clean tight crop of the original footage. Punch in sharply on the word "this" and show bold minimal typography reading "WATCH THIS." for the final few frames.

Keep all edits tightly synchronised to the spoken words. Prioritise surprising transitions, compositing, object separation, style changes, camera movement and edits that would normally require advanced manual editing.

Do NOT make it look like a generic social media template. Avoid excessive emojis, basic subtitle presets, random glitch effects or cheesy AI graphics. Think experimental fashion campaign meets high-end creator editing meets slightly unhinged internet culture.

Make it yours

Swap the quoted lines ("This video that you're watching", "no CapCut" and so on) for the words in YOUR clip, and change "11-second" to your clip's length. Keep everything else — the escalation, the word-timing, and especially the "Do NOT make it look like a generic social media template" paragraph at the end. That last bit is what stops the result looking like everyone else's.


Three more prompts from the video — each one written for a clip where I say "remove your background" and "cool effects like this". Pick one, swap those quoted words for the ones in your own clip, and paste it into Omni Flash with your video.

Effect 1 — Editorial Clone Burst. A hard background swap, then 5–7 magazine-style cut-out copies of you fan outward and snap back.

Effect Prompt 1 — Editorial Clone Burst
Edit this clip so the effects hit precisely on the spoken words.

When I say "remove your background", instantly remove the existing background on the exact word "background". Make it a sharp, immediate switch with no fade.

Replace it with a clean, high-fashion editorial backdrop with strong depth, soft sculptural forms and dramatic lighting.

Then on the phrase "cool effects like this", trigger the main effect exactly on the word "this":

Duplicate my cut-out silhouette 5–7 times behind me in rapid succession, creating a layered magazine-style echo effect. Make the copies fan outward with slight scale changes and depth, like physical paper cut-outs moving through space.

Add a tiny amount of motion blur and parallax, then snap all the duplicates back into the original version of me.

Keep my face and body consistent and recognisable. Make it stylish, premium, fast and visually satisfying rather than glitchy or chaotic.

Effect 2 — Reality Peel. The background switches behind you, then peels open like layers of paper to reveal a second world.

Effect Prompt 2 — Reality Peel
Edit this clip with two perfectly timed visual transformations.

On the exact word "background" in "remove your background", instantly cut me out from the original scene and completely replace the background with a surreal glossy environment.

There should be no dissolve. It should feel like reality suddenly switches behind me.

Then on the word "this" in "cool effects like this", make the entire new background physically peel open from the centre like layers of paper or fabric.

Behind it, reveal a completely different surreal world — oversized objects, floating shapes, dramatic depth and cinematic lighting.

For a brief moment, make it look like I am standing between multiple layers of reality.

Then rapidly pull the layers back together and return to the clean shot.

Make the effect feel tactile and physically believable, like the scene itself is being manipulated in 3D space.

Avoid generic glitch effects, cheesy transitions or social-media templates.

Effect 3 — 3D Object Explosion. Chrome objects, bubbles and shapes burst out around you in real 3D depth, then reverse back to a clean frame.

Effect Prompt 3 — 3D Object Explosion
Edit this clip so each major effect lands exactly on the spoken beat.

When I say "remove your background", remove the background instantly on the word "background" and replace it with a minimal glossy studio environment.

Keep me cleanly cut out and perfectly sharp in the foreground.

Then on the word "this" in "cool effects like this", create a sudden 3D explosion around me.

Have glossy chrome objects, translucent bubbles, stars, abstract shapes and reflective forms burst outward from behind my body, fly toward the camera and orbit around me with realistic depth.

Some objects should briefly pass in front of me while others move behind me so the effect feels fully three-dimensional.

After half a second, rapidly reverse the motion and suck every object back behind me, leaving the frame clean again.

Make the effect bold, surreal and expensive-looking. Think experimental fashion campaign, not gaming graphics or a basic particle effect.

Which one first?

Start with the Editorial Clone Burst — it's the most forgiving on ordinary footage. The Reality Peel and the 3D Object Explosion are the showpieces: save them for the clip where you want jaws on the floor.


The difference between a wobbly result and the one you post comes down to how you write. These five rules are baked into every prompt above — keep them when you write your own.

1

Pin every effect to a spoken word

Vague timing gets vague edits. "On the exact word 'this'" gets precision. Quote your own lines exactly as you say them — that's what keeps the effects hitting on the beat.

2

Describe what the viewer sees, not editor jargon

Omni Flash doesn't need "masks and keyframes". It needs "cut me out and make the copies fan outward like paper cut-outs". Plain visual language wins every time.

3

Tell it what NOT to do

The "avoid glitch effects, cheesy transitions or social-media templates" line is doing real work in every prompt above. Leave it in, always — it's the taste filter.

4

One hero moment per clip

Escalate to one big effect, then come back clean — that's why the storyboard prompt snaps back to a bare frame at the end. Effects wall-to-wall read as chaos, not craft.

5

Re-run, don't settle

If a run misses, it's nearly always a wording problem. Change the sentence, not the video, and go again — each run only takes a few minutes.

Stitching your 10-second chunks

Because of the 10-second cap, a longer video comes out as a few finished chunks. Drop them end-to-end in any basic tool — QuickTime on a Mac (Edit → Add Clip to End) or your phone's video editor — and export once. They were filmed as one take, so they join cleanly.

One honest caveat

Omni Flash is brand new and it won't nail every run. Check every frame before you post — AI edits can wobble on hands, hair edges and small text. Treat the first run as a draft, not the final cut.
