Edit UGC ad footage with Gemini Omni
Google's conversational video editor, now on UGCad AI. Say "swap the product to matte black", "move the shoot to Tokyo", or "translate to Spanish" — and Gemini Omni rewrites the scene while keeping everything else locked.
What is Gemini Omni
Google's conversational video editor
Gemini Omni is Google DeepMind's multimodal video editing model, released at Google I/O 2026. Unlike text-to-video generators that create footage from scratch, Gemini Omni edits existing video through plain-language conversation — letting you reshape, recolor, relocate, and retranslate scenes iteratively without touching a timeline.
For DTC brands, this is a fundamental shift. Instead of reshooting UGC ads every season, you can describe the change you need. "Change the jacket to matte black." "Move the background to Tokyo." "Translate this to Spanish but keep the music." Omni rewrites the scene while preserving motion, lighting, shadows, and character consistency.
The model is grounded in Gemini's reasoning and Google Maps data, which means location changes look naturally shot, material changes respect real-world physics, and translated audio keeps the original timing and soundtrack intact. Every output is watermarked with Google's SynthID and C2PA Content Credentials.
Capabilities
What Gemini Omni can do for your ads
Ten categories of editing that previously required a VFX team — now done with a sentence.
Transform objects in-place — change materials, reveal anatomy, switch textures — while keeping the original pose, lighting, and shadows exactly locked.
Re-voice your UGC ad in any language while keeping the music, timing, and subtitle structure intact. Localize to new markets without a reshoot.
Replace any product in the frame with another — correct lighting, reflections, and shadows auto-generated to match the new object.
Change product finishes conversationally — glossy to matte, raw to coated, light to dark — with physically accurate sensor reflections.
Change outfit AND background simultaneously in a single prompt. Same character, same pose — new setting and new look for seasonal campaigns.
Move your shoot to any real-world location grounded in Google Maps data. Interior POV stays consistent while the world outside changes believably.

How it works
Three steps to an edited UGC ad
Upload existing footage, describe the change, export the ad. Gemini Omni handles the scene rewrite.
Bring any existing UGC clip, product video, or lifestyle footage into UGCad AI. Works with phone-shot video, studio clips, or footage from creators.
Type what you want changed — "make the background a Tokyo street", "swap the hoodie to emerald green", "translate to French, keep the music". Select Gemini Omni as the model.
UGCad AI exports your edited clip in 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, or 16:9 for YouTube. Iterate with more prompts, or ship it directly to your ad account.

FAQ
Gemini Omni questions answered
What is Gemini Omni?+
Gemini Omni is Google DeepMind's conversational video editing model, released at Google I/O 2026. It lets you edit existing video footage using plain-language prompts — swapping objects, changing locations, translating audio, and restyling materials while preserving motion, lighting, and character consistency.
How is Gemini Omni different from Veo 3 or Sora?+
Veo 3 and Sora generate video from a text prompt — they create new footage. Gemini Omni edits existing footage conversationally. You bring the clip, describe the change, and Omni rewrites the scene while keeping everything else intact. For DTC brands with existing ad footage, this is far more practical than starting from scratch.
Can I use Gemini Omni for DTC product ads?+
Yes — it's exceptionally well-suited to DTC ad production. You can change product colors or materials, swap backgrounds to match seasonal campaigns, translate audio into any language while keeping music and timing, and replace objects in existing footage. UGCad AI wraps these capabilities in a UGC ad workflow optimized for Meta and TikTok.
Can Gemini Omni translate audio without ruining the music?+
Yes. Gemini Omni can re-voice video in another language while keeping the original music, timing, and subtitle structure intact. This makes it the fastest way to localize existing UGC ad footage for new markets — no reshoot, no voiceover session, no manual subtitle sync.
Does Gemini Omni preserve motion and physics across edits?+
Yes. Character motion, lighting, shadows, and physical consistency are preserved across edits. Omni is grounded in Gemini's reasoning and Google Maps data for believable places, materials, and physics — edited scenes look naturally shot rather than composited.
Can I do multiple edits iteratively on the same clip?+
Yes — Gemini Omni is designed for iterative conversation. You can apply one edit, review the result, and keep prompting changes. This makes creative iteration fast: get five variants of the same UGC clip before lunch rather than waiting days for VFX revisions.
What formats does UGCad AI export Gemini Omni output in?+
UGCad AI exports Gemini Omni edits in 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and 16:9 for YouTube and Meta feed placements. All exports include Google's SynthID watermark and C2PA Content Credentials.
Is Gemini Omni available for free on UGCad AI?+
UGCad AI has a free tier with credits to try Gemini Omni immediately — no credit card required. Paid plans include bulk credits for high-volume DTC ad production, starting from a low per-edit cost.
How long does a Gemini Omni edit take to render?+
Most Gemini Omni edits render in under 2 minutes on UGCad AI. The model is built for fast creative iteration — DTC brands can go from a plain-language prompt to an export-ready edited ad clip in the time it previously took just to brief a VFX artist.
