Google Expands Gemini With Draw-to-Prompt Editing and Video AI Verification

Verification covers only content bearing Google’s watermark, not media from other AI systems.

Overview

  • Users can now sketch or annotate directly on images to guide the Nano Banana model, with Sketch and Text tools in a new Mark up editor on Android, iOS, and the web.
  • Gemini checks uploaded clips by scanning visuals and audio for SynthID and reports specific timestamps where AI-generated segments are detected.
  • Video verification accepts files up to 100 MB and 90 seconds, returning more than a simple yes or no result.
  • Google embeds SynthID into media made or edited with its own tools, enabling reliable checks for that content but not for videos produced elsewhere.
  • The rollout is global across all Gemini-supported languages and regions, though reporters note ongoing questions about watermark removability and cross-platform adoption.
