Flow, Google’s AI-powered video creation tool, is getting a major upgrade. Video platforms built on models like Veo 3.1, Nano Banana, and Imagen provide creators with workflows, assets, editing controls, and scene and story layout layers.
Starting today, creators will have access to four new features aimed at giving them more control over how their images and video clips look and behave without having to start from scratch every time they need to edit.
Google says users have created more than 500 million videos with Flow since its launch in May, but editing has been a little more strict up until now. This situation changes with a new update designed to reduce prompts and make your projects more polished.
Here’s what you can do now:
1. Edit images with Nano Banana (and Nano Banana Pro)
Flow includes a dedicated[画像]Added tabs. Free users have access to Google’s Imagen and Nano Banana models, while Pro subscribers can try out a newer, more advanced version, Nano Banana Pro. The image above was created with Nano Banana Pro.
The purpose of this latest update is to help users avoid the hassle of regenerating an entire scene just to tweak a small detail, such as adding rainbow hair to a unicorn.
With the free and pro tiers, you can:
- change costumes and poses
- Adjust lighting and camera angle
- remove distracting backgrounds
- Blend two images with one prompt
2. You can now display doodle prompts
This is a game changer for people who don’t like typing prompts. Flow allows you to draw directly on the image, and the system uses the Frames to Video feature to interpret the doodle.
This means you can sketch hairstyles, change poses, add accessories, and more without needing detailed prompts.
3. Delete or insert objects
watch on
Whether you want to remove a streetlight or add a missing soccer ball, Flow now allows you to insert or remove objects in your scene without touching anything else. This feature is still experimental and works best when objects are not moving much.
This kind of surgical editing is rare in AI video generation, and it signals a move towards more creator-level control.
4. Reshoot the scene with a new camera angle
watch on
Flow now supports more camera motion presets, including different perspectives and trajectory styles. This means that if you don’t like the way a scene looks, you can reshoot it with new camera motions instead of starting from scratch.
This update is especially useful for clips that didn’t originally have camera movements baked in.
why is it important
These tools represent an important transition for Flow from a rapid generation tool to an improved platform. With increased control over visuals, object placement, and camera angles, Google clearly positions Flow as a strong competitor in the AI content creation space.
And if you’re using Flow to prototype ads, create social clips, or simply tell a story, these editing upgrades can be a game-changer.
