There are no shortcuts to great work. We built Google Flow with and for creatives as a tool to use, stretch, remake, and extend their own processes. And today, we are announcing a series of interactive virtual workshops to spotlight the craft behind modern creative workflows. Bring your talent. Bring your care. Long live the process. RSVP below.

Have you experimented with the newest Nano Banana 2.1 model yet? It creates more natural-looking imagery, with significant improvements in visual design, editing and subject consistency. Image generation costs 0 credits in Google Flow. Try it out!

Bring your wildest ideas. Join our Hybrid Production | Filmmaking & Advertising digital workshop on Oct. 23 @ 9AM PT. In this session, Creative Director and Filmmaker Andrew Nethery shares how he pairs traditional live-action production with experimental, hybrid AI workflows for his latest short film, Nothin' Beats a Cheeseburger.

Halloween prep is officially underway. We’re reimagining the mundane chores that iconic spooky characters have to tackle leading up to the big night, all created with Nano Banana in Google Flow. Create your own and share them with us!

Create cinematic transitions in Google Flow. Here’s the workflow: Step 1: Prompt a scene detailing your character, environment, and movement. Once you find your favorite, ask your agent to bulk-generate 4 to 6 new images from different angles, like close-ups or low ground angles. Step 2: Switch the model to Omni 1.1 Flash. Type a prompt describing the action, then add a second sentence specifically detailing your transition style (like a fade, light blur, glitch, or fast zoom). Jump into Google Flow, test out your favorite transition style, and tag us in your creations!

Bring your vision. Our next digital workshop, Google Flow for Filmmakers, is on Oct. 16 @ 9AM PT. In this session, Director and Creative Technologist @bradleytangonan demonstrates how he used Google Flow to create his short film, Murmuray. RSVP here: goo.gle/flow-workshops

Bring your creativity. Continuing our workshop series, the Google Flow for Creators digital workshop is happening soon, on Oct 12 @ 9AM PT. In this session, digital creator Will Schafer breaks down how he took one of his original songs and used Google Flow to build its complete visual world, crafting a stylized music visualizer from scratch. RSVP here: goo.gle/flow-workshops

Looking for a creative way to style your videos? Try this method to incorporate custom text effects in Google Flow: 1. Drag your video into the prompt box. 2. Select Omni 1.1 Flash. 3. Describe your scene & specify where the text overlay goes (e.g., on a blank sign). 4. Write your text in quotes & describe your style. Quick Tip: Adding "preserve all other motion" helps maintain the appearance of your original video. This is just one of many ways to bring your text overlays to life.

Starting today, Nano Banana 2.1 is available in Google Flow. With this update, you’ll find improved visual quality and subject consistency for both generation and editing tasks. You can still access Nano Banana Pro and Nano Banana 2 Lite in Google Flow. Give it a try on your next project and let us know how your workflows feel!
