Edit a Full Reel with One Prompt: The Complete Gemini Omni Edit Prompt

What this is

Gemini Omni can take a raw talking-head video and produce a fully edited, agency-grade reel in a single pass — captions, motion graphics, sound design, colour grade, B-roll. No editing app. No timeline.

This is the complete two-part edit prompt to trigger that output. Upload your raw video into Gemini Omni alongside a font reference image, paste the prompt, and Omni handles the full edit.

Two steps

• Step 1 — Record (or generate) your raw talking-head video. Unedited footage, just you talking to camera. Keep the audio clean.
• Step 2 — Upload the raw video into Gemini Omni and paste the full prompt below. Attach your font-style reference image alongside it.

The golden rule before you paste

The prompt is long on purpose. Every line is doing a specific job — locking shirt colour, protecting face appearance, controlling subtitle language, forcing pacing. Don't trim it.

One thing to customise: the prompt is set to pull red tones as the accent colour. If your brand colour is different, replace every mention of red / crimson / burgundy with your actual colour before pasting.

Transform this raw talking-head video into a premium, viral-quality social media reel with high-retention editing, cinematic motion graphics, and modern creator-style visuals. Keep the original speaker, original audio, and original shirt color completely unchanged — do not alter, recolor, or modify the subject's appearance, clothing, or skin tone in any way. Preserve the exact video footage as-is and only add editing layers on top.

Generate accurate subtitles directly from the spoken audio. Subtitles must match exactly what is being said in the video — word for word, as spoken. Written entirely in English characters (ABC format only). Never convert subtitles into another script. Never paraphrase or rewrite the spoken words.

Caption design should be a major visual element, not simple subtitles. Use bold cinematic typography where important words become oversized design elements on screen. Create layered text compositions with foreground and background typography. Key phrases can appear behind the speaker, partially masked by the subject, creating depth and a premium 3D look.

Typography Style: Large editorial fonts, luxury cinematic typography, mixed font weights, layered text compositions, kinetic typography, motion-tracked text, depth and parallax effects, premium 3D text treatments.

Color Style: Extract colors directly from the video footage and build the entire typography and graphic palette around the scene. Use the dominant accent color visible on the shirt or brand elements as the primary accent color. Build gradients that blend with complementary shades and warm highlights. All text colors must feel naturally integrated into the video's existing color palette. Important keywords should have unique gradient treatments and premium glow effects that complement — not clash with — the actual footage colors.

Whenever the speaker makes a strong point, create huge cinematic text moments, let key words dominate the screen, use layered typography behind the speaker, add scale animations, depth, shadows, lighting effects, and subtle motion.

Add dynamic zoom-ins, punch-ins, reframing, speed ramps, motion blur transitions, and seamless camera movement. Add relevant B-roll, graphics, UI animations, visual metaphors, icons, callouts, motion graphics, and overlay effects to support the spoken content visually.

Improve color grading, contrast, exposure, subject separation, and overall cinematic polish without changing the subject's natural appearance or clothing color.

Add professional sound design including whooshes, impacts, swipes, clicks, risers, transition sounds, and subtle cinematic audio enhancement — all synced to the original spoken audio.

Maintain fast pacing with meaningful visual changes every few seconds to maximize retention.

The final output should feel like a premium reel edited by a top-tier content agency, with typography and captions acting as a central visual storytelling element. I am also sharing a font style reference — match the typography aesthetic to that reference.

Make sure to follow the same hand motion and gesture as the uploaded video; audio and lipsync also remain similar to the raw video.

Re-prompt instructions — fix specific problems without restarting

Expect 1–2 follow-up prompts to dial it in. Fix one thing at a time to keep the parts that already worked.

• If captions are wrong: reply "Keep subtitles word-for-word in English characters only, exactly as spoken. Do not translate or rewrite."
• If it changed your face or shirt colour: reply "Restore the original shirt colour and face exactly as the raw video. Only add editing layers on top — do not recolour the subject."
• If pacing feels slow: reply "Increase pacing — a meaningful visual change every 2–3 seconds. Add more punch-ins and bigger text moments on the strong lines."
• If typography is generic: re-attach your font reference and reply "Match the typography to the attached reference — bigger, layered, some words behind me for depth."

Frequently asked questions

What does the font reference image do? Omni uses it to match the typographic aesthetic of captions and on-screen text to your preferred style. A screenshot of a reel with typography you like works fine. Without it, Omni defaults to a generic caption style.

Why paste the prompt in two parts? It's one prompt split across two pages for readability. Paste both parts together as one message — no technical reason to send them separately.

Does the colour customisation matter if I'm not using red? Yes. The prompt tells Omni to pull red / crimson / burgundy as the accent colour. If your brand is a different colour, replace all colour references before pasting or Omni will impose a red palette regardless of your actual brand.
