Media Generation

Generate images and videos using Google GenAI SDK (google-genai).

Model Selection

TaskModelUse Case
Imagegemini-2.5-flash-image (Nano Banana)Fast, cheap ($0.039/img)
Imagegemini-3.0-pro-image (Nano Banana Pro)High quality, 4K
Imageimagen-3.0-generate-002Imagen, negative prompts
Videoveo-3.1-generate-previewBest quality, audio
Videoveo-3.1-fast-generate-previewFaster generation

Auto-selection logic:

  • Image without special needs → gemini-2.5-flash-image
  • Image needing 4K or high quality → gemini-3.0-pro-image
  • Image with negative prompt → imagen-3.0-generate-002
  • Video → veo-3.1-generate-preview

Environment

Requires GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable.

fnox get gemini-api-key  # or set GEMINI_API_KEY

Image Generation

scripts/gen_image.py "A sunset over mountains" output.png
scripts/gen_image.py "A cat portrait" cat.jpg --model gemini-3.0-pro-image --aspect-ratio 9:16
scripts/gen_image.py "Product photo" product.png --model imagen-3.0-generate-002 --negative-prompt "blurry"

Parameters:

  • --model: Model choice (default: gemini-2.5-flash-image)
  • --aspect-ratio: 1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:3 (default: 1:1)
  • --negative-prompt: What to avoid (Imagen only)

Video Generation

scripts/gen_video.py "A cat walking through grass" cat.mp4
scripts/gen_video.py "Timelapse of clouds" clouds.mp4 --model veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview
scripts/gen_video.py "Camera panning over city" city.mp4 --image reference.jpg

Parameters:

  • --model: Model choice (default: veo-3.1-generate-preview)
  • --image: Input image for image-to-video
  • --negative-prompt: What to avoid
  • --poll-interval: Seconds between status checks (default: 10)

Video generation is async - script polls until complete.
