Formwork tie-holes spend Gemini Omni's 7-slot quota at 9cr

Gemini Omni Video is 9cr, 4–10s, 4K, audio null, with quota images + videos×2 + character_ids ≤ 7: spend those slots on photographed formwork-panel refs so the tie-hole pattern holds, not on a carpenter character ID.

A formwork listing is this panel: hole spacing, the plywood or steel face, the waler pattern a cut sheet already names. Identity has to survive inside the generate. A paragraph about a crew setting walls on a sunny pour will mint a cousin grid and a person you did not hire. Photograph the panel. Attach that still. Spend the seven-slot budget on the tie-hole pattern, not on a carpenter.

Photograph the panel; the tie-hole pattern is the SKU

Procurement matches the grid. Tie-hole centres, face material, edge profile, the clamp a specifier already quoted. Text-to-video of “cinematic formwork on a high-rise pour, carpenters setting ties” invents a cousin panel and a crew.

Shoot the approved panel as a line card: square-on of the face, holes readable, a waler in frame if you sell the waler. Crop a site address. Crop a handwritten pour tag. Do not prompt the model to “clean” the yard. Keep people off the plate. A constructed carpenter walking tie spacing is a presenter you did not hire. If the only photo includes a hand, crop the hand or shoot again.

When frame one has to be the JPEG you approved, image-to-video treats the upload as frame one. Omni does not always. Mixing those jobs is how a catalog still becomes a pour you did not light. Prompt only camera: a slow rake across the holes, no new grid.

Gemini Omni Video is 9 credits and a quota of seven

Gemini Omni Video is Google's multimodal video row: a prompt plus optional reference images, source video clips, character IDs, and audio IDs. Catalog output is 720p, 1080p, or 4K, at 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 seconds, 16:9 or 9:16. The listed cost is 9 credits. Categories are text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video. An image is not required to press generate. That is the tell. A pour Omni film with no panel photo in the stack is a mood. Procurement cannot bid from a mood.

Gemini Omni Video: the stack is the brief is the row's own contract. This leftover only spends it on photographed formwork. The quota is arithmetic: images + videos×2 + character_ids ≤ 7. One approved panel still is a stack. Seven moods of “the vibe of a pour” is how you blow the quota and still miss the hole spacing.

A source clip counts double. Character IDs invite a constructed carpenter. Do not spend a slot on a crew ID. One face of the panel, maybe a second angle of the same serial, is a kit. Prove the stack at 4s. 4K is the ceiling: a bad stack at 4K is a sharper wrong grid. Ten seconds is a reason, not a default.

Spend slots on panel refs, not a carpenter ID

The seven units are the whole budget. Spend them on the object: one square-on of the face so the tie-hole pattern is in the generate; optionally a three-quarter of the same panel; optionally a waler still if that hardware is on the same SKU.

Do not spend a unit on a carpenter character ID “so someone is in the shot.” A face is not a panel. Character IDs eat quota you needed for the grid. A photoreal tradesperson on a generated pour is a likeness. Empty hardware is how a distributor reads the part.

The catalog does not mark native audio on this row. audio is empty. Treat soundtrack as an input you may pass (audio IDs), not as a guaranteed mix. Quoted dialogue does not become a stem. Score after picture lock, off a plate with no mouth in frame.

Tie spacing and panel height are claims. Add a text overlay burns one authored line for the whole clip — top, center, or bottom. Write the string as it sits on the cut sheet. Do not prompt Omni to letter hole centres onto the plywood.

Contractors and home builders are different pages

Contractors already have an audience page: process on a job that exists — demo day, a problem behind the wall, a walkthrough. That playbook is labor. It is not a formwork SKU. A generated carpenter walking lead time is a presenter you did not cast.

Home builders are further out. Their arc is foundation to walkthrough. A builder who Omnis an OEM panel jpeg as proof they poured this wall has used the wrong still. The hung form on the model home is the proof. An OEM who copies the builder playbook has used the wrong still the other way.

Two businesses. One photographed panel. Attach the refs. Count to seven. Leave the carpenter ID off the stack. If someone must speak a pour sequence, that someone is a real named person on a different take.

FAQ

Can I skip the panel photo and prompt Omni to “match our tie-hole pattern”?

No. A sentence is not a plate. An image is not required to press generate on this row, which is how teams skip the still. If the grid has to be yours, attach the photograph. Quota and 4K do not pin a pattern you never uploaded.

Does Gemini Omni Video add a jobsite soundtrack or a carpenter VO?

Do not claim native audio. Catalog audio is empty. An audio ID is an optional input, not a mix you get for free. Score after lock. Do not prompt a lecture and call it a stem.

Why not fill all seven reference slots with crew stills and one panel?

Because videos count double and character IDs invite a constructed carpenter. Images + videos×2 + character_ids must stay ≤ 7. One approved panel still is the stack. Seven moods of a pour still miss the SKU if the tie-hole photo is not in it.

Is the contractors page the template for formwork ads?

No. Contractors is process on a job that exists. Home builders own new construction. Formwork OEM is a locked panel photo and a seven-slot quota spent on that face. Copying a walkthrough onto a grid is how you get a crew film and a morphing hole pattern.
