You can now remix other people’s YouTube Shorts with AI

Overview

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.

How it works

• At the bottom of a YouTube Short, click the remix icon.
• Select the “reimagine” option.
• Prompt Gemini to transform the video into styles such as:
  • Pixel art
  • Anime
  • Found‑footage horror

Beyond visual styles, you can also modify the content itself, for example:

• Inflate heads
• Insert background actors
• Dress people in pirate costumes
• Place yourself into the clip

Creator controls

Creators can choose whether to allow their Shorts to be reimagined. If a creator disables the feature, viewers won’t see the remix option for that video.
