What the tutorial covers
A Portuguese-language walkthrough of animating old photos into videos using Google's AI tools:
- Animating stills: importing photos and generating motion in Google Flow
- Model combo: hands-on use of Omni Flash and Google Veo
- Bypassing policy blocks: when generation fails platform policy checks, editing photo elements via text prompts (e.g., adding a rubber outfit) to get past the violation
- Prompting with Gemini: using Gemini to write richer prompts, including camera moves like drone shots, for better Veo output
- Final assembly: organizing generated clips into a "scene" and exporting the finished video
