Google Flow has added first-and-last-frame interpolation to Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, allowing creators to specify both endpoints of a generated shot. The control is designed for smoother transitions, deliberate camera moves and seamless loops, including a loop made by using the same image at both ends. Google's Aug. 27 product update says the capabilities are available in Google Flow.

Control The Start. Control The End.

Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash now interpolates between chosen opening and closing frames in Google Flow. The same image can be used twice to create a loop.

How the shot is built

Two fixed endpoints guide one continuous transition.

First frame

Choose the opening image.

→

Describe motion

Prompt the transition.

→

Last frame

Set the destination image.

Loop: Use the same image for both endpoints.

Takeaway: 360p drafts use half the credits of 720p.

What changes in practice

What it enables

Plan camera moves between chosen endpoints
Build smoother transitions and loops
Iterate with lightweight drafts before final output

What still needs care

Shot-to-shot consistency is not guaranteed
Complex motion can still fail
Rendered text may be inaccurate
