:clapper: Edit Videos with Gemini Omni

Veras can now edit videos, not just generate them. The new Gemini Omni model takes an existing video plus a prompt and transforms the footage: change the materials, the season, the time of day, the landscaping — while the motion and camera of the original carry through. Pick any video render from your strip (or upload your own — see the next section), describe the change, and render.

  • Video-to-video editing — your prompt reshapes existing footage instead of starting from scratch
  • Add up to 4 reference images to steer materials, objects, or style
  • Gemini Omni also generates — text-to-video with no source, or image-to-video from any source image
  • Produces 10-second clips at 720p while in preview, with its credit cost shown right in the dropdown

NOTE: Hand Gemini Omni a video and a prompt — it transforms the footage while keeping the original’s motion and camera

You don’t have to get it right in one shot: when your source is a previous Gemini Omni result, a conversational edit toggle continues the same edit session, so follow-up tweaks stay consistent with the changes that came before.


:repeat: Connected Video Playback

Select multiple videos and they now play as one continuous sequence, looping in the order you picked them — perfect for reviewing a storyboard of clips as a single animation. A scrub line runs across each thumbnail so you can see where playback is and drag to any moment. Playback is also dramatically smoother when many videos are loaded — we fixed a stutter that crept in while scrubbing.

NOTE: Multi-select videos and they chain into a looping playlist, with a scrub bar on every thumbnail


:clipboard: Copy and Paste Images

The clipboard now works both directions:

  • Paste in — Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) an image from anywhere straight into Veras as your source image

  • Copy out — copy any rendering to the clipboard and paste it into email, chat, or your presentation without saving a file first


:building_construction: Revit 2027 Support

Veras now runs in Revit 2027. Just grab the Windows installer above — it detects your installed Revit versions automatically.


More Improvements

  • Out of credits modal bug fix — running out of credits shows a clear message instead of a generic “Network Error”, and the monthly credit reset date displays more reliably
  • Gallery deletions are instant — deleted renders disappear immediately instead of freezing the gallery while the server catches up
  • Gallery keyboard fixes — the Delete key in the gallery no longer also deletes the workspace’s selected render, and ESC in the delete dialog no longer closes the expanded view behind it
  • Smoother sign-in recovery — when a login session expires, Veras quietly re-authenticates instead of showing endless gallery loading errors
  • Source image history includes synced images — step back through earlier snapshots synced from your model, not just manual uploads
  • Live Auto source preview — with the Auto source, the thumbnail now mirrors your 3D view in real time, including your sketch overlays
  • Auto source respects the aspect ratio — automatic captures now match the aspect-ratio dropdown
  • Video playback on more hosts — video renders automatically fall back to WebM in environments without MP4 support
  • Rotate renders reopen in Rotate — selecting a Rotate render switches the render button back to Rotate mode automatically
  • Guided walkthrough stability — no more growing step counts or a stuck overlay mid-tour
  • Fixed screens briefly going blank when the app loads on some multi-monitor setups
  • Style chip editing polish — the edit panel no longer grows unbounded with long descriptions, chip names now require a minimum length, and the save-preset tooltip explains itself when saving is blocked
  • Faster, more reliable render delivery — renders are now served directly from cloud storage

Veras - Release 4.7.1.0

New Features

  • 3d Mode: Large Model Support, Faster Sync & Textures in Revit & SketchUp
    • Revit and SketchUp now use a new instanced extraction pipeline for the 3D viewer: syncs send far less data and finish noticeably faster on models with repeated geometry
    • Better FPS performance in the 3d viewer
    • Revit models now bring their materials and textures into the 3D viewer for the first time (Revit 2023 and newer)
    • The sync loader now shows real progress with a percentage instead of an endless spinner
  • Portrait Videos with Gemini Omni
    • Gemini Omni generations can now be made in 9:16 portrait, alongside the existing landscape format

Improvements

  • Interface
    • Veras has been rebuilt on a modern UI framework - the app is lighter and more responsive, with the same layout and workflow you already know
    • A pass of visual polish across menus, modals, buttons, tooltips, icons, and drag-and-drop zones
  • Plugin Compatibility
    • When a feature needs a newer version of your Veras installed plugin, Veras now tells you and points you to the update instead of quietly doing nothing
  • Video
    • The Gemini Omni credit cost now displays as a single fixed 10x, matching the fixed 10-second clip length, instead of a misleading 1-10x range

Bug Fixes

  • Renders
    • Image renders now survive brief network interruptions instead of failing with “Failed to fetch” - polling retries, and oversized reference images are resized before sending
  • Video
    • Reference images can no longer be combined with a still source image in Gemini Omni, a combination that failed upstream with an error; reference images still work with no source (generate) or a video source (edit)
