Gemini Omni performed native video edits on the 1896 Lumiere film of a steam train, converting it into versions with a bullet train, LEGO styling, Muppets, and a time traveler while preserving reflections.

Wharton associate professor Ethan Mollick shared the 56-second example.

I think people don't realize why Gemini Omni is different than other video AIs. It is fully multimodal, so it can edit video natively, too I took the famous "train " movie from 1896 & made it a bullet train, LEGO, added a time traveler, a centipede, muppets... (see reflections?)
