The author shares 9 ways to edit videos directly with Gemini using natural-language prompts:
- Reformat: landscape to 9:16 vertical for Reels/TikTok/Shorts
- Product ads: turn ordinary footage—or a static product photo—into a cinematic vertical ad
- Background replacement: place subjects in new locations with matched perspective, lighting, and ambient motion
- Object removal: erase unwanted people/objects and reconstruct the scene
- Cinematic effects: add portals, holograms, energy trails, particles
- Seamless loops: adjust start/end so footage loops invisibly
Each use case includes a full prompt template with [placeholders] for camera movement, lighting, setting, and style.
