Google is giving Photos another dose of Gemini. The company has announced Video Remix, a new AI-powered editing tool that can transform ordinary video clips into stylized creations with just a few taps. Rather than requiring professional editing skills, Google says the feature lets users quickly reinvent existing videos using creative AI effects directly inside Google Photos.
Think of it as Photo Remix, but for videos
Available from the Create tab in Google Photos, Video Remix uses Gemini Omni to apply AI-powered transformations to an existing video clip. Instead of trimming footage or manually layering effects, users simply choose a creative template, and Gemini generates a new version of the clip with a completely different look and feel.
The available effects go well beyond simple filters. Video Remix can apply cinematic relighting to brighten dark footage, swap plain backgrounds for entirely new environments, or turn videos into artistic creations with styles such as watercolor, raw sketchbook, and oil painting. Google even showcases examples like giving a video a morning glow, placing someone inside a greenhouse, or transforming a clip into dreamy watercolor artwork.
There are a few limitations, though. Video Remix currently works only with video clips up to 10 seconds long, and longer recordings need to be trimmed before the AI begins generating a new version. The process itself can also take a couple of minutes, depending on the edit.
Rolling out first to Google AI subscribers
Video Remix is rolling out starting today for eligible Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in select countries, including India, the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, and several others.
The launch continues Google’s steady push to bring Gemini deeper into Photos. Over the past year, the app has gained AI-powered image editing, smarter search, and creative tools for photos. Video Remix extends that philosophy to videos, making it less about traditional editing and more about letting AI completely reinvent how a familiar clip looks—all without leaving Google Photos
