How to make an AI drama with Gemini Omni 1.1.

FXI StudioNovember 2, 2026

Gemini Omni 1.1 directs a drama shot by shot: one action, one camera move, and the spoken line rendered with synchronized sound in a single pass. The craft is in keeping every shot anchored to the same cast and the same room. Here is the workflow we use inside FXI Studio.

The short answer

Gemini Omni 1.1 makes an AI drama shot by shot in FXI Studio. Save your cast and a location plate, pick Gemini Omni 1.1 in the video model picker, attach your references, and write one action and one camera move per shot. Chain each shot from the last frame before it, then color and caption last.

How it works

Eight steps from cast to cliffhanger.

This is the same shot-by-shot workflow used to direct any episode in FXI Studio, tuned for what Gemini Omni 1.1 actually rewards: one clear action, one named camera move, and dialogue written exactly as it should be heard.

01

Save your cast and a location plate

Before you write a single prompt, build a character sheet for every role in Cast and keep one location plate for every set you will shoot in. These references are what hold a face, a wardrobe and a room steady across an entire episode.

02

Pick Gemini Omni 1.1

Open the video model picker in Create and select Gemini Omni 1.1 for the shot. It renders synchronized speech and ambient sound in the same pass as the video, which is what makes it a strong first pick for a drama scene.

03

Attach your cast and location references

Add the character sheets and the location plate for this shot as references before you write the prompt. The model preserves the faces, wardrobe and room from the stills, so your words can go straight to motion and sound.

04

Write one action and one camera move

Keep each shot to a single action and a single camera move. A character crosses a room and the camera pushes in. Stack two actions or two moves into one shot and the model tries to do both and lands neither.

05

Put the spoken line in quotes

When a character speaks, write the exact words in quotation marks so the performance is lip-synced to what is actually said. Describe the delivery in the same sentence so the voice matches the moment.

06

Repeat the same lighting and wardrobe sentence every shot

Carry one fixed sentence describing the light and the wardrobe into every shot’s prompt for a given scene. Changing that sentence shot to shot is the fastest way a drama starts looking like a different scene every cut.

07

Chain from the last frame, then cover seams with a prop cutaway

Start the next shot on the last frame of the shot before it so the cut reads as continuous motion. When a chained cut is not perfectly clean, cut away to a prop or a detail for a beat to hide it.

For the full technique, read the frame chaining tutorial.

08

Color, caption and export 9:16 last

Grade and add captions only once every shot in the episode is chained and approved, never before. Set the aspect ratio to 9:16 for the final export so the episode is ready for a vertical feed.

Choosing a model

Gemini Omni 1.1 or Seedance 2.5?

Gemini Omni 1.1

Fast iteration and strong camera moves, with speech and ambient sound rendered in the same pass. The pick while you are still finding a scene or building a single episode.

Seedance 2.5

Built for the most consistent multi-episode cast and dialogue, once a series needs the same faces and voices to hold steady across many episodes. A dedicated Seedance 2.5 workflow is coming soon.

Two terms worth knowing before you plan an episode: a micro-drama and the series bible that keeps it consistent from episode to episode.

Frequently Asked

Gemini Omni 1.1 drama, answered.

What is Gemini Omni 1.1?

Gemini Omni 1.1 is a video model in FXI Studio’s video model picker. It renders a shot with synchronized speech and ambient sound in the same pass, so a character’s dialogue and the room around them land together in one render.

How do I make an AI drama with Gemini Omni 1.1?

Save your cast and a location plate, pick Gemini Omni 1.1 for the shot, attach those references, and write one action and one camera move with the spoken line in quotes. Chain each new shot from the last frame of the one before it and repeat down your shot list.

Does Gemini Omni 1.1 generate dialogue and sound?

Yes. Gemini Omni 1.1 is omni-modal, so it always renders speech and ambient sound alongside the video. Write the line exactly as it should be spoken, in quotes, and describe the room tone around it.

How do I keep a character looking the same across shots?

Save the character once in Cast and attach that same character sheet as a reference on every shot they appear in. Repeat one fixed sentence describing the light and the wardrobe in every shot’s prompt so the look does not drift.

What is frame chaining and do I need it for a drama?

Frame chaining starts each new shot on the last frame of the shot before it, so a sequence plays as one continuous move instead of a run of separate clips. The full workflow, including how to extract and reuse a last frame, is in the frame chaining tutorial linked below.

Gemini Omni 1.1 or Seedance 2.5, which should I use?

Use Gemini Omni 1.1 for fast iteration and strong camera moves while you are still finding a scene. Move a multi-episode cast to Seedance 2.5 once you need the same faces and voices to hold steady across many episodes.

What aspect ratio should a micro-drama export in?

Export 9:16 for a vertical micro-drama episode. Gemini Omni 1.1 renders either 16:9 or 9:16, so set the aspect ratio to 9:16 before your final shot.

How long is one Gemini Omni 1.1 shot?

A single Gemini Omni 1.1 shot runs 4, 6, 8 or 10 seconds. Plan a shot list of several short shots rather than one long take, then chain them together.
