Google Flow Workshop: Personalize AI Video Tools & Build Your Own Pipeline

Google Flow can do far more than generate one-off AI clips. This hands-on workshop shows how to personalize the tools and build your own AI video pipeline from scratch with vibe coding. Dr. Carla Engelbrecht (25 years designing interactive experiences for Netflix, Sesame Street, PBS Kids, and Highlights) walks through Google Flow inside Google Labs, from the standard tools all the way to a fully custom production workflow. In this workshop you'll learn: The basics of Google Flow: text-to-video and image-to-video (frames) Choosing models — Veo Fast, Light, and Omni — and managing your credit budget Using Flow's Gemini-powered Agent Mode to auto-build storyboards The Shot Explorer, storyboard tool, and the Remix option for customizing what Flow can do How to keep characters and scenes consistent shot to shot Carla's full production pipeline: brainstorm a script → develop a storyboard in Markdown with Claude/Gemini → generate shots in a custom Flow tool → assemble with Remotion → a 3–5 minute animated short in about 90 minutes The ethics of AI creation: avoiding "slop," staying original, finding your own style, and keeping humans responsible for what we make Whether you're making animated shorts, educational content, or just exploring generative video, this is a practical, real-time look at what's possible today. 🔗 Try Google Flow: https://labs.google ⏱️ Note: This is a live "first pancake" workshop — demos build in real time, so you'll see the messy, honest reality of working with these tools. #googleflowai #aivideo #veo3 #aitutorials --- Chapters: 00:00 Intro — who is Dr. Carla Engelbrecht 02:00 What is Google Flow (Google Labs) 04:00 Text-to-video vs. image-to-video (frames) 05:00 Choosing models & credits (Veo Fast, Light, Omni) 09:00 Agent Mode: auto-building storyboards with Gemini 15:00 Keeping characters & scenes consistent 17:00 Editing inside Flow (and its limits) 50:00 Building custom / personalized Flow tools 1:51:00 Full pipeline: script → storyboard → Flow → Remotion
