Best suited for
Marketing teams that want to use Google Flow to quickly develop high-quality video concepts and campaign variations from text and images.
Flow brings Google’s video, image and speech models into a creative interface. For small and medium-sized businesses, this offers a quick way to create testable video variations without immediately starting a major production.
Limitations
When you need a longer film with consistent characters, legally cleared material or accurate brand and product details without further editing.
Strengths
Connect scenes and assets consistently
Ingredients uses recurring character and object references across multiple clips, helping a product and its surroundings remain recognisable as related elements in consecutive shots.
Google Flow: Ingredients and videoVideo variations from text and images
Start with either a scene description or supplied images, then describe the desired movement to generate different visual concepts for the same advertising idea.
Google Flow: Create videosUse cases
Short video clips with imagery, movement and, depending on model access, sound, ready for further editing as campaign drafts or creative tests.

A practical first project
Turn an approved key visual into a short 6- to 8-second clip with a single movement and a clear hook for a landing page or social ad.
Create a vertical 8-second clip: keep the product unchanged, move the camera slowly from left to right, use natural lighting, include no text in the image and leave two seconds of calm space at the end for a CTA.
Two ideas for your working day
Plan a scene between two image states
Choose a starting image and a desired final image for a product clip. In your prompt, describe only the movement or transition between them, such as a slow approach towards a detail. Check the resulting movement before adding more scenes. Available features depend on the selected model.
Google Flow: Create videosUse the same product references across several clips
Upload approved product images to your project as Ingredients and reference them in the prompt using the at sign. Describe a different action for each clip while keeping the product and visual style consistent. Then compare the results side by side for shape, colour and lettering before combining them into a campaign.
