Google announced a new YouTube Shorts Remix feature that lets users restyle clips or even insert themselves into other people’s videos using Gemini Omni . Now, at the bottom of a YouTube Short, when you click the remix icon, you’ll see an option to “reimagine” it. Here, you can prompt Gemini to turn a video into pixel art, an anime, or a found-footage horror film. But, beyond that, you can also alter the contents by, say, inflating heads, inserting background actors, dressing people in pirate costumes, or even putting yourself in the clip.
Creators can enable or disable the ability to reimagine videos. So, if you upload a short of your kids and would prefer (for obvious and understandable reasons) that people not be able to manipulate it, you can turn off remixing. Google also says that shorts remixed through Omni will have a digital watermark and link back to the original video.
